There was talk about dev containers support coming soon in the discord channel before. Any news on this? It’s the one thing blocking me from using cursor at the moment.

I just learnt about dev containers today and i was disappointed that i got errors trying to use this feature in cursor when it worked in vs code. I am enjoying cursor a lot so i hope to see this soon! Going to have to hold up on cursor use till then.

I really can’t use this project until it has devcontainer support, and i’m so disappointed, as it sounds amazing. Unfortunately my entire workflow is based on devcontainers.

I would love to see devcontainer support as well. Critical for everything we do.

Forgot to respond to this thread. Dev containers should be supported as of over a month ago! Let us know if you run into any issues.
