Problem with devcontainer.json

[trukhinyuri]

devcontainer.json does not build in JetBrains IDE 2024.1 and VSCode.

JetBrains IDE Welcome screen -> DevContainers -> New DevContainer (from VCS Project, Docker must be installed.) Insert the git@ link of the repository with devcontainer.json. -> "Build container and Continue"

Hi @trukhinyuri

Sorry for noticing so late the issue.

I checked with lastest builds in VSCode and worked OK.

PHPStorm is still in tests, as in the spring they were forcing with root to install different packages and some binaries and messed the dev container. They make many assumptions on how a devcontainer should work, and mostly looks like against the developer expectations.

I'll look further on PHPStorm, although I did not bother with it too much last months to use it.

If you modified .devcontainer.json or docker-compose.yaml, would you share the modifications?

Back with PHPStorm information.

It starts, and looks to work.

But there is one thing to be aware:

1. Create a directory in which you'd put your devcontainer and docker compose file.
2. Open this directory in PHPStorm.
3. Now right clicking on the devcontainers file, select the 'Create Dev Container and Clone Sources'

This will create a volume with sources and mount it in /workspace, giving the best performance when using Windows and Macos.

On Linux, Create Dev Container and Mount will be fine, no performance penality.
