Failed to retrieve project containers

[laurencefass]

when i click refresh there is no console activity (i.e. errors) and no network activity.

i have a valid docker-compose.yml file in the project.

version: '2.1'

services:
  docker-example:
    image: docker-example
    build: .
    environment:
      NODE_ENV: production
    ports:
      - 3000:3000

I see this too.

"Failed to retrieve project containers" is seen whether or not they are running. Even when the containers are started by choosing "Up" from the compose context menu.

Likewise - is this supported on Windows? Normal Docker plugin for vscode works fine and valid compose file exists in project directory root...

In Ubuntu 18.04 it is the same. However the Compose Up and Compose Down contextual menus work on the composer file, but it looks like the Extension Explorer is not aware of it.

Just discovered the Compose Up and Down menus are provided by the Docker extension, not the Docker Compose extension.

Same issue for me on Windows 10
