Description
Hi,
I have a devcontainer.json file referring to 2 features, feature Bar and feature Baz. The features are hosted in an OCI registry.
I am using vscode 1.97 and devcontainer extension 0.401.0
Feature Baz have an installAfter clause referring to feature Bar.
The container build fails when reference to feature Baz in feature B is not exactly the same (with version) as the one in the devcontainer.json.
VSCode tries to install feature Bar without a version and does not find it. If I put only the id of the feature instead of the full feature reference, it does not work either disregading what is specified in https://containers.dev/implementors/features/#installsAfter.
Here is a redacted version of the files:
{
"image": "ubuntu:latest",
"features": {
"registry.gitlab.com/foo/bar:0.0.1": {},
"registry.gitlab.com/foo/baz:0.0.1": {},
}
}
feature bar:
{
"name": "bar",
"id": "bar",
"version": "0.0.1",
}
feature baz not working:
{
"name": "baz",
"id": "baz",
"version": "0.0.1",
"installsAfter": [
"registry.gitlab.com/foo/bar" => Does not work, VSCode tries to install the feature literally version without version does not exist
]
}
feature baz not working:
{
"name": "baz",
"id": "baz",
"version": "0.0.1",
"installsAfter": [
"bar" => Does not work, VSCode does not see feature at all
]
}
feature baz working:
{
"name": "baz",
"id": "baz",
"version": "0.0.1",
"installsAfter": [
"registry.gitlab.com/foo/bar:0.0.1" => works
]
}
