`powershell-resources` Host Path for requiredResourceJsonFile #11

Open zenturacp opened 1 year ago

zenturacp commented 1 year ago

What is the path relative to in the requiredResourceJsonFile?

It tried to put the file into .devcontainers folder and put in .devcontainers/Requirements.json as an option - but it seems like the feature is not running relative to the workspace root when installting feature? The base64 works just fine - but is kind of not as easy as putting a file in the code repo with the actual requriements?

By the way - very good job! :-)

Hello! Glad you find this useful. Unfortunately, due to how devcontainer features work, the file has to be INSIDE the container (and the path has to be absolute, not relative). https://github.com/natescherer/devcontainers-custom-features/tree/main/src/powershell-resources#options and the example above it might be helpful. Let me know if you have additional questions!

Reopening this, as I realized that eventually there will be a way to use a host-based file once https://github.com/devcontainers/spec/issues/220 is added.
