Feature Details

Description:

VS Code devcontainers can container features, such as:

    "features": {
             "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/docker-in-docker:2": {
             "version": "latest"
        },
           "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/aws-cli:1": {
            "version": "latest"
        }
}

It would be great to have a fig feature for devcontainers, especially given the current issues in regards to headless installs of fig on linux machines (e.g., https://github.com/withfig/fig/issues/2219 and https://github.com/withfig/fig/issues/2095).

Hey @nick-youngblut, we actually do have a devcontainer feature, https://github.com/withfig/features

It currently only supports our CLI tools and we don't have good docs on how to best use it currently. Hopefully I can get around to improving that soon!

[nick-youngblut]

Thanks @grant0417 for letting me know! Where is that documented in the Fig manual? I must have missed it.

It appears that the feature doesn't always work out-of-the-box:

I'm using VS Code with a remote ssh connection to a remote Ubuntu machine. My feature setup in my devcontainer.json:

        "ghcr.io/withfig/features/fig:1": {
            "version": "latest"
        }

After rebuilding the devcontainer, I ran fig login, and logged in via github (I had to manually open my browser and go to the website). After logging in, I ran fig source, but nothing was actually sourced. I then ran fig doctor, and I got the output shown above.

Killing the terminal and starting a new one did enable fig source, but I still get the following from fig doctor:

● File does not exist: /home/gitpod/.zshrc
● File does not exist: /home/gitpod/.zprofile
● /home/gitpod/.config/fish/conf.d/00_fig_pre.fish does not exist.
● /home/gitpod/.config/fish/conf.d/99_fig_post.fish does not exist.
✘ Fig Integration: Figterm is not running in this terminal, please try restarting your terminal

  FIG_TERM=

✘ Doctor found errors. Please fix them and try again.

Could you try running fig integrations install dotfiles

[nick-youngblut]

Could you try running fig integrations install dotfiles

Thanks for the suggestion! I ran fig integrations install dotfiles, which completed successfully (output message: Installed!). However, that didn't help. I still had to kill my terminal and start another in order for fig source to take effect.

[grant0417]

I added docs for installing the feature and getting authed: https://fig.io/user-manual/install/devcontainer-codespaces

Still need to figure out what is going on with the dotfiles not being installed like you would expect as you mentioned.

[nick-youngblut]

Thanks for adding the docs!

I can confirm that I'm still getting the error:

✘ Fig Integration: Figterm is not running in this terminal, please try restarting your terminal

  FIG_TERM=

...when I run fig doctor. Restarting my terminal, as suggested, does not help.

I should note that since there is no devcontainer feature for mamba (AFAIK), I am installing mamba via the devcontainer postCreateCommand. So, the conda/mamba initialization blocks are appended to my ~/.bashrc after the Fig post block.

Still, even when I skip the conda/mamba installation in my postCreateCommand, I still get the fig doctor error:

✘ Fig Integration: Figterm is not running in this terminal, please try restarting your terminal

  FIG_TERM=

[nick-youngblut]

I should also note that there is nothing in my _FIG_LOCAL_BIN (set to ~/.local/bin). That directory is empty in my devcontainer environment, while on my mac, ~/.local/bin contains a symlink to the fig executable. However, creating the symlink did not help with the FIG_TERM= issue.

There is also nothing in ~/.fig/bin/ for my devcontainer environment, while on my mac, ~/.fig/bin/ contains figterm.

You can manually fix the FIG_TERM= issue by running figterm directly, I will make sure the next version of the CLI.

Also are you using codespaces or local dev containers?

[nick-youngblut]

How do I use figterm directly? The figterm docs just state: Usage: figterm [-- <COMMAND>...], so there's not a lot of guidance on its direct usage.

Also are you using codespaces or local dev containers?

I'm using a dev container running on a remote machine (ssh connection via VS Code).

[grant0417]

You can just directly run figterm it doesnt need any arguments, then run fig doctor and it should work.

[nick-youngblut]

Thanks @grant0417 ! I should have just tried figterm by itself; I just couldn't tell what figterm actually did based on the script help doc.
