I have been using energyplus docker image to run energyplus in aws.
I tried to upgrade docker image from nrel/energyplus:8.9 to nrel/energyplus:9.4 and updated corresponding idf file as well.
I could confirm that input idf file can run simulation locally using ep-launch but got following error when I tried to run using docker image nrel/energyplus:9.4.

ERROR: Input file must have IDF, IMF, or epJSON extension.

Does anyone have any idea what could be the reason and how to solve?

I saw an edit at some point that showed the file, which is *.expidf. Rename to *.idf

The file you are trying to run... what is its extension? Because it must be idf, imf or epjson to work, as the message clearly states.

energyplus myfile.idf # Does work
energyplus myfile.something # Does not work
energyplus myfile.expidf # does not work
