[Bug]: ./devcontainer-features-install.sh: line 28: ./install.sh: not found

[c3n21]

Feature id and version

ghcr.io/devcontainers-contrib/features/pnpm:2

Devcontainer base Image

alpine:3.18.2

What happened?

Given the following .devcontainer/devcontainer.json

{
  "image": "alpine:3.18.2",
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers-contrib/features/pnpm:2": {}
  },
  "remoteUser": "root"
}

and running

devcontainer up --workspace-folder .

I get this error

./devcontainer-features-install.sh: line 28: ./install.sh: not found at step 6/9.

This devcontainer@0.49.0 /usr/lib/node_modules/@devcontainers/cli is the version of devcontainer I am using.

I tried also with nx feature and get the same error.

I tried with both Docker and Podman.

@c3n21 thanks for reporting this bug Unfortunately this bug happens due to the usage of an alpine based image alpine currently is not supported for multiple reasons:

1. The devcontainer library scripts contains /bin/bash shebang (bash is not installed on alpine by default). (That is what causing the install.sh not found error you encountered
2. The base features used are assuming debian (for example the official nodejs feature is installing packages using apt-get , the official python feature too)

Reason 1 is solvable in the scope of this repo, but Reason 2 is sadly require deeper fix, probably a replacement for these official features that serve as the basis of many other features, or update them to be more distro agnostic.
