not sure if that is entirely true or not as i just passed the below commmand on macOS,

docker run --rm -v $PWD:/data asciinema/asciicast2gif -s 2 ./git-squash-commits.json ./wtfff.gif 

and it seems the docker process begins to process the path to file, and on a separate note you can see the node process expands ~ to /Users/dsorin his stacktrace.

All that said, I believe the issue relies in how he has docker configured on his system, 99% sure he/she is running macOS due to seeing the following directory structure /Users/dsorin and the issue is related to how he/she has setup bind mounted directories within the preferences of the docker app itself, as I was running into the exact same issue as described by @1999 ,but when I moved my recorded cast file to a path specified within the File Sharing tab of docker preferences window, the container was able to process the cast file.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/dsorin/Downloads/271556.cast'

It evaluates the path correctly based on current host user but that path might not exist in guest docker.
