NOTE: Currently blocked by #168655. Please hold off testing until we have fixed that.

Follow https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/.devcontainer/README.md to develop VS Code in a dev container.

Moving to next milestone as we don't have the required fix to test this yet.

I chose the "Code - OSS" devcontainer (without WSL) and got a bunch of issues:

"Configuring..." got stuck (or takes more than 10 minutes):

"yarn install --force" crashed (after updating docker & wsl it worked though):

yarn watch failed:

Then I tried to clone vscode in WSL and this time chose "VS Code" devcontainer.

This time, a window opened, but it also crashed:

Does this still apply? I noticed that this might be an old message that was posted before the TPI was assigned for this round of testing.

It still applies

I chose the VS Code devcontainer and got the same loader crash as Henning.
I noticed that the icon's also unaligned:

Windows 11, opened the remote WSL folder and then reopened it in devcontainers.
Devcontainers extension version v0.280.0
WSL extension version v0.76.0
WSL distro Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

I'm a bit confused, are we supposed to be testing this item yet? I had the impression, based on the description, that this was not ready for testing yet.

Based on what I'm reading, this test plan does not seem ready yet. @chrmarti can you please chime in and move this issue out if it's not ready?

Sorry, this should not have been assigned as TPI. Closing until the blocking bug is fixed.
