Docker container not found by Remote Containers, found by Docker extension but not able to attach to.

[Infraviored]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.63.2
• OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04 / 21.10
• Docker Ubuntu Verison: 20.04
• All VS Code Extension's versions: Newest

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download and Build the Docker container from https://github.com/Roboy/mujoco_roboy
2. start the container. Verify it is running.
3. in the Docker extension of VS Code, the container is running (Green play). The console can be attached to it, commands can be run.
4. When trying to attach VS Code to the container there is a red-x-message: Error running command remote-containers.attachToRunningContainerFromViewlet: Unexpected end of JSON input. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes remote-containers.attachToRunningContainerFromViewlet.

When trying Remote-Containers: Attach to running container... It says: There are no running containers to attach to.

Does this have sth to do with the Docker container?

Help is greatly appreciated.

I must get the Debugger running

Could you attach the Container log after this failed? (F1 > Remote-Containers: Show Container Log)

@chrmarti Hello, I have the same problem as described. I tried to uninstall vscode and the ./vscode folder to delete all the extensions, but it still isn't working.

Here is the Container log.

@MohamedAli-M Are you trying to attach to an existing container? How do you create the container?

Hello @chrmarti, thank you for your answer.

I am trying to attach to the container built from this repository : https://github.com/lajoiepy/argos3_docker_example

Here is the dockerfile i am using :

RUN echo "cd /root/src &&\
    mkdir build && cd build &&\

    make -j $(nproc)" >> /launch-script.sh

RUN echo "cd /root/src && argos3 -c experiments/crazyflie.argos" >> /launch-script.sh

RUN chmod +x /launch-script.sh

# ENTRYPOINT ["/launch-script.sh"]

And here is the file I made to run the docker image (I use x11Docker) ;

#!/bin/bash

XSOCK=/tmp/.X11-unix
XAUTH=/tmp/.docker.xauth
xhost +local:docker

x11docker --fullscreen --interactive --hostnet --user=RETAIN -- --privileged -v "$PWD/src:/root/src" -- argos

I can access the shell via remote container, but I am unable to directly attach it to vscode.

@MohamedAli-M Is the container shown when you use F1 > Remote-Containers: Attach to Running Container...?
