dev container doesn't automatically install any of the tools necessary to setup/start my project... #102

Closed Mr0cket closed 2 years ago

Tell us about your request My project uses lots of cli tools, necessary to setup & start it... e.g: node The dev container does not come with any of these tools, nor at the correct versions... it's useless. I can create a better container myself that has all the tools I need in 5 mins.

Which service(s) is this request for? dev Environments

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? I want to be able to setup and run my project easily in a container using dev environments. Currently the dev environments container does not detect and install any of the essential tools I need to do anything with my project. So what's the point of it?? I can create a container optimised for my project with all tools already installed in basically the same time...

Are you currently working around the issue? not using dev environments

Hello @Mr0cket

Can you share the log of you dev environment startup (without using your image) Dev Environments currently detect and provide base images for Javascript, Go, Java and Ruby projects

Hi, My dev environment is a node/typescript client/server project, here are the logs for environment startup:

Thanks, the issue is fixed (we didn't detect TypeScript as Javascript project) and should be release in the next Docker Desktop version. As a work around you can add a .docker/config.json file in your repo with the following content

{
  "image": "docker/dev-environments-javascript:stable-1"
}
