Most of my projects / code use VS Code Dev containers, and I’m not able to successfully build and open in these containers… wondering what’s the workaround? For example, getting this error when the devcontainer is being built… failed to solve: dev_container_feature_content_temp: failed to resolve …

@amanrs has the best context here. I will bring him to look into it :slight_smile:

Is there any chance something from this thread solves it: Dev Containers 0.255.2 docker compose problem opened 07:19AM - 07 Oct 22 UTC (UTC) closed 04:49PM - 12 Dec 23 UTC (UTC) …

hmm, honestly, I am finding that thread very hard to follow - not an expert here. I have no trouble running dev containers in VS Code on the very same device, it’s just it doesn’t work with Cursor - if that helps.

[image] SSH not working in latest update Bug Report Here is how I manage to resolve this issue

Sorry, I’m not sure what is meant here? My original issue above is that the dev container is not even getting built… it’s failing (as shown in the logs above). So there’s no way for me to connect and delete anything inside of it, for a container that isn’t even running yet?

Could you share the details on your machine. I would copy/paste from the menu “Cursor > About Cursor”

I had switched back to VS code a while back due to this issue, so I Just reinstalled Cursor right now to the latest version, and tried building and opening the project in dev container. Still breaking: Version: 0.33.4 VSCode Version: 1.86.2 Commit: 2dd5b2855ac68f3a3d3babee87d22b399a9db7d0 Date: 202…

[Screen Shot 2024-05-17 at 6.21.42 PM] Can you copy/paste About Cursor details And between opening Cursor and getting to that error, exactly what steps do you take?

hey I thought I copy/pasted the About cursor details in my previous response? attaching img here too [image] what exact steps to getting to that error? I open my project/workspace in Cursor, and then run the Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container option [image]

How do I get dev containers to work?
