DevContainer stuck at v0.327.0 (>11 months old, >10 release versions behind)

In Cursor v0.42.4, the newest VS Code Extension: “DevContainer” that it is allowing me to use is v0.327.0, which is >11 months old, missing loads of bug-fixes/features, compared to the latest pre-release: v0.390.0 or GA release: v0.388.0 (>10 versions newer), combined with VS Code v1.95.1.

The lack of being able to use some of the latest VS Code extensions is causing me quite a bit of friction. Can anything be done to improve this situation in Cursor?

Unfortunately, I’m facing the same issue. I wasn’t able to update it, so I performed a manual installation, but then every functionality of the extension stopped working. I can’t open the container or the config files…nothing

This is really blocking since the actual version 0.327 does have some issues, in my case :

So I hope the cursor team can see this and help us out.

Same kind of issues here. Please update to a version that’s <3 months old

Hey, our next update bumps the base version of VS Code that Cursor is based off, so I would assume the Dev Containers extension would get an upgrade with it (just a guess though!)

Thank you Dan! Great news.
That would indeed very likely be the case. What would be the expected timeline for this?

Our next update should start rolling out in the next few days, and should be available to every user by the end of next week at the latest (if we hit any bumps or bugs we need to fix first!)

Thank you! Indeed it’s finally working natively with Cursor 0.45+, as Dev Containers has been updated by bumping their VSCode fork version.
