Lost intellisense

[rajesh-chawla]

Unfortunately, I've lost intellisense when I code in the container. How can I go about troubleshooting this? So far, I've tried reopening the container as well as rebuilding it.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

I've had this issue as well. Looks to be an issue with the C# extension getting installed in the container. A workaround is to open your VS Code Extensions menu, search for the C# extension, click "Install in Dev Container", then reload the container. If I figure out how to get it working with the devcontainer.json extension again I'll let you know!

@deinman Are you finding this happen consistently? If so, it could be some sort of product issue. Moving this to the vscode-remote-release repo.

If you see it again, could you capture the logs when the container is created? (Located in the contents of the "Dev Containers" terminal window.)

[deinman]

Yes, I've seen this on both machines I've run it on here. Here's the logs including the complete container rebuild:

20200110_devContainerLogs.txt

Looking at the log it looks to be an issue with my network's HTTPS cert injection causing the container to not be able to get the local issuer cert.

Line 292: unable to get local issuer certificate

Is there maybe a flag that I could set somewhere to allow insecure certs? For what it's worth, using the UI to add the extension does work, so it stands to reason I should be able to get the container to do it.

//cc: @chrmarti Any idea why this would be happening on container create but not via the UI? It's the same acquisition code path, correct?

[chrmarti]

I think there is a fallback when going through the UI that will use the Chromium network stack on the UI-side to get the extension when getting it on the remote side failed. /cc @sandy081
