Specifying Host Machine in Visual Studio doesn't seem to work #363

Closed Andomeda83 closed 1 year ago

Andomeda83 commented 1 year ago

I'm not using Docker Desktop, instead I have the docker cli installed on my Windows host as well as on a Ubuntu WSL instance.

From a windows command line, I can specify the WSL host and it works as expected:

> docker images
REPOSITORY                                                 TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED        SIZE
mcr.microsoft.com/cosmosdb/windows/azure-cosmos-emulator   latest    b95ffb8c77b6   9 months ago   13.1GB

> docker -H localhost:2375 images
REPOSITORY                                                        TAG                    IMAGE ID       CREATED        SIZE

Within Visual Studio I have set the Container Tools "Host machine used to run containers" setting to WSL:

But I still get errors when trying to build Linux projects (<DockerDefaultTargetOS>Linux</DockerDefaultTargetOS>):

Finally, the containers window is showing the images I have within Windows

Is there another setting I'm missing? Or are my expectations incorrect and this scenario isn't possible?

@Andomeda83 The UI on the right for your second screenshot appears to be from the C++ CMake tools not the container tools for .NET.

As tracked in https://github.com/microsoft/DockerTools/issues/313 currently only Docker Desktop is supported by the VS container tooling. However, I believe you could use the remote WSL feature of VS Code to be able to do what you are hoping for.

Thank you for the update @NCarlsonMSFT.

I'm not seeing any reference to C++ CMake in that part of the options. I don't seem to have any C++ tooling selected in "Visual Studio Installer", so how would I confirm this please?

Either way, strangely, if I select that option today, it's different. That dialog does seem to lag so perhaps it didn't refresh. It now shows:

The right hand side of the screenshot above is actually from Cross Platform->Dev Containers, but thank you for pointing out #313. At least I now know it's not supported.

Finally, you're right that it works in VSCode. I have this set:

Happy to close this issue.
