I'm using the vscode command Remote-contains: Open Folder in container...
I'm trying to mount bind a file into the docker container.
~/.config/dart/pub-tokens.json
The host file is under my HOME directory and I need it mounted in the same location within the container's HOME directory.
Here is my mount command from the vscode devcontainer.json
"mounts": [
"source=${localEnv:HOME}/.config/dart/pub-tokens.json,target=${containerEnv:HOME}/.config/dart/pub-tokens.json,type=bind,consistency=cached",
]
Note the 'containerEnv' in the target clause.
Launching the container via the vscode Remote-contains: Open Folder in container... produces the following error: (for readability I've added some newlines)
Start: Run: docker run --sig-proxy=false -a STDOUT -a STDERR
--mount type=bind,source=/home/bsutton/git/onepub/onepub,target=/workspaces/onepub
--mount source=/home/bsutton/.config/dart/pub-tokens.json,target=${containerEnv:HOME}/.config/dart/pub-tokens.json,type=bind,consistency=cached
--mount source=/home/bsutton/.onepub/onepub.yaml,target=${containerEnv:HOME}/.onepub/onepub.yaml,type=bind,consistency=cached
--mount type=volume,src=vscode,dst=/vscode -l devcontainer.local_folder=/home/bsutton/git/onepub/onepub
--entrypoint /bin/sh vsc-onepub-7ff341664d5755895634c2f74983ff45-uid -c echo Container started
docker: Error response from daemon:
invalid mount config for type "bind": invalid mount path: '${containerEnv:HOME}/.config/dart/pub-tokens.json' mount path must be absolute.
It would appear that vscode isn't expanding the the containerEnv.
If I replace containerEnv it with localEnv it does get expanded (but the wrong path).
i.e. the following works:
"mounts": [
"source=${localEnv:HOME}/.config/dart/pub-tokens.json,target=${localEnv:HOME}/.config/dart/pub-tokens.json,type=bind,consistency=cached",
]
