I think this is a simple typo in DockerComposeFile:
File base = (workingDirectory != null) ? workingDirectory : new File(".");
if (!base.exists()) {
return null;
}
Assert.isTrue(base.isDirectory(), () -> "'%s' is not a directory".formatted(base));
Path basePath = workingDirectory.toPath();
where workingDirectory can be null (in fact it is the default) so there is an NPE. Fix it by replacing workingDirectory by base?

Thanks Dave. I'll fix this one before merging.
