Hi, I'm trying to attach my VSCode to a docker container, and experiencing an issue.
It shows an error "Command failed". I guess it's from the incorrect replacement of username "qbit -n" since it should be "qbit".

Error running command remote-containers.attachToRunningContainerFromViewlet: Command failed: mkdir -p /Users/qbit -n/.vscode-remote-containers/bin/8b3775030ed1a69b13e4f4c628c612102e30a681_1720348909009. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes remote-containers.attachToRunningContainerFromViewlet.

Expected Behavior

Opening a window on a docker container

Steps To Reproduce

Host:: Windows 10 pro
Server:: macOS 14.5
Container Image:: arm64v8/ubuntu

cc @chrmarti as well

@bamurtaugh FYI: An alternative way is to forward port 22 to host port xxxx and activate the SSH service inside a docker, and attach the VSCode to that port.

@chrmarti which version was it resolved? I still have same problem.

[chrmarti]

To verify on macOS:

• Enable Remote Login in the system settings.
• Connect to the local SSH server with Remote-SSH: Connect to Host... using localhost.
• Start a container to attach to: docker run -d alpine sleep inf
• Use Dev Containers: Attach to Running Container... to attach to the container.
• Verify this works.

@junwha0511 This will be in the next pre-release version. I will do that later today.

This is now available in Dev Containers 0.379.0-pre-release.
