[Bug]: mkdocs installation of configured plugins crashes

[JakobFerdinand]

Feature id and version

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

Devcontainer base Image

mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/universal:2

What happened?

I used to use the mkdocs feature with the plugins property set like this:

{
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/universal:2",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/devcontainers-contrib/features/mkdocs:2": {
            "plugins": "mkdocs-material mkdocs-awesome-pages-plugin mkdocs-minify-plugin"
        }
    }
}

Since today, when I want to build my devcontainer pipx crashes when trying to install the plugins. Log in the Relevant log output section.

The only way I found to not run into that problem is by setting the plugins property to an empty string and install all plugins in the postCreateCommand.

{
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/universal:2",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/devcontainers-contrib/features/mkdocs:2": {
            "plugins": ""
        }
    },
    "postCreateCommand": "pip3 install mkdocs-material mkdocs-awesome-pages-plugin mkdocs-minify-plugin"
}
