Describe the Bug Via the “Remote - SSH Plugin” and “Dev Containers” Plugin published by Anysphere, I tried to attach my Cursor to a Docker container that I am running on a remote machine. Attaching the shell is no problem but attaching Cursor itself somehow does not work. This is the output i am g…

Hi All, @lsyincs There is no attach cursor operation in the panel… Please upgrade to the latest version of the extension; earlier versions didn’t support the new MS Containers plugin. @mmb-bioinf That’s quite interesting. It’s possible that an old server (that didn’t source the latest env) wa…

Hi, I also encountered this question. vscode can open docker container with same config but cursor cannot. [image]

Hi @haowen_hou , could you share your logs from the “Remote - Containers” output console? If docker is not on the path (which is what it sounds like from that error), you’ll need to update your PATH environment variable in a .bashrc, .bash_profile or .profile file to include the directory that conta…

Same question. And I’m sure that docker is running successfully with docker infomation.

Hi @BobYounger , could you also share your logs from the “Remote - Containers” output window? Would be super helpful so we can take a look. Thanks! In the settings, we also have an option to customize the path to Docker. Could you try setting this, in case if we’re unable to find docker on the defau…

Hi @Teto and @wr8tt5 , Thanks for raising these issues. @Teto – could you confirm which version of the Remote Containers extension you’re on? If you’re on an earlier version, could you try upgrading to version 1.0.7? We fixed some issues in that version with how the docker commands are spawned. It…

@ravirahman Thank you for your reply. I checked my “Dev Container” version, and it was already “1.0.7”. And I also set the docker path to the actual path value, but the issue was not resolved. [image]

After applying the latest versions of the Anysphere extensions Dev Containers (1.0.8) and WSL (1.0.4) my issue has been resolved. Thankyou.
