Issue with the extension running in devcontainer

[AT-Education]

Trying to open an excallidraw file in devcontainer inside a github codespace.

Steps to reproduce:

• create a github codespace
• add devcontainer config file with extension such as: "customizations": { "vscode": { "extensions": [ "pomdtr.excalidraw-editor"] } }
• trying to open a excalidraw file: nothing happens
• checking extensionhost output, getting following error:

Having similar issue. In my case I'm using devcontainer locally (no codespaces) and the extension has worked fine in the past, however if/when I open the project "in a unique volume" the plugin appears greyed out in the extension pane and excalidraw files are not recognized when opened

Same here.

As a workaround, you can add the following to your devcontainer.json to force excalidraw to run in the host window...(though I'm not sure this will solve the problem for codespaces)

 ...
"customizations": {
   "vscode": {
      "settings": {
	...
	"remote.extensionKind": {
	   "pomdtr.excalidraw-editor": [
	      "ui"
	   ]
	}
      },
      "extensions": [
	   ...
	   "pomdtr.excalidraw-editor"
      ]
   }
}
...

Thanks @matt-deboer! Your workaround works in my GitHub codespace. (naturally, I'd prefer it if it were no longer necessary)
