GitHub codespace `postCreateCommand` issues #354

Open klieret opened 1 month ago

klieret commented 1 month ago

postCreateCommand pulls the sweagent/swe-agent:latest docker image and runs other installation steps. However, it only starts a few seconds (to a minute) after the codespace starts, so if users already start running a command before that, things won't work.

Can we either:

Realize that we're in codespaces and this is happening and provide a very precise error message
Abandon postCreateCommand for some other setup stage (but that didn't work so far)

Brandhash commented 1 month ago

Can we add a warning msg to users, like a 1 minute countdown and a description for what's happening and why it is important to not enter any code before timer runs out.? I'm just spitballing here
