Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a folder with VsCode which contains a devcontainer on windows
2. VsCode will open a popup to ask "Reopen in Container"
3. This fails with the supplied Logs.
4. But when I run "Reopen in Container" from command palette it works

Additional information

• Docker is installed in WSL2
• This works if I first connect to WSL and then open the project and click on the popup
• I tested this with normal VsCode and Insider version

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: Yes Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: Yes, Except WSL and Dev Container are installed.

To verify on Windows:

• Enable Dev Containers: Execute In WSL in the user settings.
• Open Windows (not WSL) folder in VS Code with a devcontainer.json.
• Click the Reopen in Container button in the notification shown after startup.
• Verify reopening works.

Has this been fixed? I don't see any relevant PRs.

I (and the rest of my team) have had the same issue for about 6 months or so (I'm afraid I don't have the exact version which broke it), and it's still a problem today.

Dev containers seems broken on my Windows machine for an unrelated reason. Leaving to someone else to verify.

[chrmarti]

I'm only now running the build to publish a new pre-release version with the fix. Will notify here when done. Thanks!

@rzhao271 That looks like you inadvertently made docker-desktop-data your default WSL distro. You can check with wsl -l -v which one has the asterisk that's the default.

[chrmarti]

This is now available in Dev Containers 0.379.0-pre-release.

Works for me, thank you!

[NINI1988]

Thank you very much @chrmarti, it works now.
