Is load_repository always needed?

[eebsie]

I'm attempting to push a docker image to an ECR repo.

The image is created via a maven build in a script in a build task. This script does a docker save to create a tar file of the image, so that it can then be picked up by the rest of pipeline as an output.

But if I attempt to push that image to ECR using load_file, the load_repository parameter is required for some reason too. But I don't see why that is needed? All I want to do is a docker load of the image that I did a docker save of in the script.

So, would this way of doing a docker load work for my particular use case?

If the load_repository parameter is required could you add an example of it's usage please? And clarify if it is required to point to the repository the docker save was done from, or if it's the repository that is being pushed to?
