Report issue with GitHub Codespaces and Dev Containers (VSCode ext)

[snebjorn]

Is this the right place to report if a devcontainer.json setup doesn't work correctly in GitHub Codespaces and/or Dev Containers?

My assumption is that they all rely on https://github.com/devcontainers/cli

The devcontainers org focuses on tool-agnostic capabilities, which certainly overlaps with implementations like the3 VS Code Dev Containers / Remote - Containers extension and GitHub Codespaces. The Dev Container CLI is stand-alone, but can clearly affect these two products - however, really the for users of the VS Code Dev Containers and Codespaces has not changed. That said, here's a breakdown of spots you can provide feedback:

• Issues / feature requests specific to...
  • VS Code Dev Containers / Remote - Containers extension: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release
  • GitHub Codespaces: https://github.com/community/community/discussions/categories/codespaces
  • CLI or common implementation of the dev container spec (non-UI): https://github.com/devcontainers/cli
  • Dev Container templates managed by the spec maintainers (often previously in vscode-dev-containers): https://github.com/devcontainer/templates
  • Dev Container Features managed by the spec maintainers (often previously in vscode-dev-containers): https://github.com/devcontainer/features
  • Pre-built images managed by the spec maintainers (often previously in vscode-dev-containers): https://github.com/devcontainer/images
• Feature requests for new dev container metadata related capabilities: this repo

Thanks for this.

Judging from that I'm guessing that if there's a problem in both GitHub Codespaces and Dev Container then it's an issue with devcontainers/cli
