VSCode Dev Containers not working at all!!

rjuarezp

Hi everybody!

I have just installed the extension Dev Containers for VSCode. Everytime I want to execute an order in Dev Container, I get an error telling that this order is not existing:

If I try to use "Add Dev Container Configuration files", I get the error "Command DevContainers: Add Dev Container Configuration Files resulted in an error. Command remote-containers.createDevContainerFile not found"
If I try "New Dev Container", I get the error "command remote-containers.createDevContainer not found"

It looks like the extension was not fully installed but I have the blue icon on the bottom left part of VSCode and I have the last version of the extension and I am using VSCode 1.93.

Do you have any hint for me?

Thanks very much!

Basically Dev Containers will only work on VSCode built by Microsoft: Flatpaks, binary archives, etc. The version in the Solus repositories will not work with Dev Containers.

See Reilly's explanation at the bottom of this Issue https://github.com/getsolus/packages/issues/1878

Thanks very much for the answer! That explains everything! I will try with the binary file to see whether I can get the Dev Containers to work. It is a pitty, that it does not work!
