When can have a dev container plugin like vscode

[wiilruo]

When can enter a container and edit code like in VS Code

This sounds very similar to #489. You can install the VSCode Containers plugin manually, as I describe in that thread, but I can’t guarantee it would work as expected, due to the modifications of Cursor.

Give it a try, as I describe in #489 , and let us know how you get on.

I tried to do that, but an error occurred [27 ms] Dev Containers 0.289.0 in VS Code 1.76.2 (f9c29d73ab9f4d88cff4de986247553b5d60e71e).

I want this feature so bad! I think the issue is VScode server is not compatible with Cursor.

[wjhrdy]

I know that the de-microsofted version of vscode vscodium doesn't work with devcontainers because it is a non-opensource extension. Cursor might have the same issue.

Devcontainers should work now! If you run into issues, please let us know.
