ENOENT: no such file or directory

After playing around with container volumes and cloning pull requests into container volumes, my docker build crashed with this error:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat no such file /root/.vscode-dev-container' .... node_modules/vscode-dev-containers/container-features'

Sorry I dont have the whole log output anymore, the path is reconstructed from my memory. And I cant reproduce the error anymore after I found this post. So I switched my version from 0.295.0 to 0.292.0 and back to 0.295.0 and I cant reproduce the error anymore but I thought it maybe helps to report this.

Edit: I managed to reproduce it: log.txt

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/root/.vscode-remote-containers/dist/dev-containers-cli-0.295.0/dist/node_modules/vscode-dev-containers/container-features'

going back one version fixes it again.

• VSCode Version: 1.79.2 (user setup)
• Local OS Version: Windows 10
• Local chip architecture: x86
• Reproduces in: Remote - Containers
• Name of Dev Container Definition with Issue: Any devcontainer from the templates, most of the times the Rust one.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Dev Containers: Clone [Repository/Github Pull Request] in [Named] Container Volume (any of the three options)
2. Container crashes with the above Error

I tried resetting my wsl ubuntu, reinstalling vscode and the extension, deleting all volumes, deleting my docker build cache nothing worked.

It seems to be something with the devcontainer.json feature installations.

Same here: EDIT: Wiping .vscode sorted it out for me

OS: Fedora 38 vscode: 1.80.1 dev containers extension: v0.299.0 (pre-release, but same thing with normal version) image: "mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/python:3.11"

Happens with both podman and docker

Started happening after reinstalling my OS, not sure if that's related, I preserved my home directory.

EDIT: Most likely my issue was that my backup scripts exclude all node_modules direcotries, I guess re-installing the plugin wasn't sufficient to wipe it enough for the node_modules to be recreated

I am experiencing this on WSL2 with v0.304.0 of Dev Containers extension.

Rolling back to v0.299.0 fixed it.

Here is the Dev Containers log:

I'm having an identical issue. The suggestion by @TheDeveloper to roll back to v0.299.0 worked for me too.

[juniorbotelho]

@TheDeveloper Nice suggestion, this worked for me too XD.
