Container tools for VS Code #381

Closed clintsinger closed 1 year ago

clintsinger commented 1 year ago

I was wondering if there are plans to bring the Container Tools to VS code? I ran into an issue with VS hanging and so I thought I would take a look at running my project in VS Code using the existing docker tools. In a word, the experience compared to the VS with Container Tools, sucks.

For my fairly large and complex project I haven't been able to successfully set up VS code to "just work" and am still trying to figure things out.

The container tools in VS make the entire process so simple but is obviously limited to Visual Studio on Windows.

It would be great to bring this simplicity and power to other platforms.

Now that C# DevKit has been announced, does this help with getting a version of Container Tools for VS Code?

No plans in the near term term based on other priorities. We would need to investigate what makes sense and cost, it for sure would be large. While certainly there can be improvements made in the Compose debugging, it is popular due to being lightweight and customizable with little to no magic, and of course being cross plat with support for other languages helps as well. We would need to be careful and ensure we don't cause issues with that experience.

If you have specific feedback or suggestions on your experience with the VS Code extension, please do open them at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docker.

Understood. What I appreciate most with Container Tools is the simple one button debugging for the entire project. I find the VS code experience much more clumsy.
