Story

That issue is using devcontainer generated from vscode, using Dockerfile format.

Reproduce

When using devcontainer generated from vscode, using docker-compose format,

and have settings.json

"remote.containers.dockerComposePath": "podman-compose"

Actual

Start: Run: podman-compose -f /path/to/.devcontainer/docker-compose.yml config
podman-compose: error: argument command: invalid choice: 'config' 
(choose from 'help', 'version', 'pull', 'push', 'build', 'up', 'down', 
'ps', 'run', 'exec', 'start', 'stop', 'restart', 'logs')

Expected

$ docker-compose -f .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml config
(config printed)

Just commenting I am getting the same error and I just installed this.

['podman', '--version', '']
using podman version: 4.3.1
podman-composer version  1.0.3
podman --version
podman version 4.3.1

This is my syntax from within a makefile

.SILENT: docker-compose.yml
docker-compose.yml: $(SERVICES:%=build/docker-compose/docker-compose.%.yml) .env
	docker-compose $(SERVICES:%=-f build/docker-compose/docker-compose.%.yml) config > docker-compose.yml

In a nutshell, my script is compiling multiple docker-compose files into a single docker-compose.yml file. Docker-compose v2 doesn't have any issue with this but podman-compose seems to fail at this point.

The error message comes out as

Is there a podman-compose alternative to the 'config' target? Maybe an option to print out the yaml file with the expanded variable values.
