Shopify CLI requires xdg-utils (namely xdg-open) in order to authenticate (Shopify CLI v3)

Feature id and version

ghcr.io/devcontainers-contrib/features/shopify-cli:1

Devcontainer base Image

mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:1-18

What happened?

See related issue: https://github.com/Shopify/cli/issues/3938

Request: Is it possible for xdg-utils to be included in the setup script?

Reasoning:

In order to authenticate with the Shopify CLI in version 3, xdg-open is called to authenticate with Shopify via the browser. However, when using the javascript-node image with the shopify-cli feature, xdg-open is unavailable.

I've managed to get it working locally with a custom Dockerfile:

ARG VARIANT
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:1-${VARIANT}

RUN export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get -y install --no-install-recommends xdg-utils \
    && apt-get autoremove \
    && apt-get clean -y \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

And by including the Ruby feature - ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/ruby:1 - as Shopify CLI has a dependency on Ruby v2.7.5+ for theme development.

If it's useful, here is my .devcontainer/devcontainer.json file:
