WSL (Windows) with Visual Studio Code and editing files in containers

[stephannn]

Hi,

I have a Windows laptop and docker in WSL running. Now I would like to edit files in the container for testing. So I am using Visual Studio Code and the Container extension. I can navigate to the file, but when I I want to open it, the file cannot be copied:

cannot open containers://6b5342b41473a0e56e9c97993a0a7b684cbe3fc44be61875b6b2f5628e0125d1/opt/meshcentral/node_modules/meshcentral/webserver.js?fileType%3D1%26ctime%3D0%26mtime%3D0%26size%3D0%26containerOS%3Dlinux%26path%3D%252Fopt%252Fmeshcentral%252Fnode_modules%252Fmeshcentral%252Fwebserver.js. Detail: Error: "/dev/stdout" could not be found on the host: no such file or directory.

I found the same error message on the issue tracker, but as resolved: #18147

I can of course edit the file directly in the container terminal with vi, but thats a bit tricky. In the container I have stdout and stderr but I am also not sure where it want to copy the files exactly.

Any ideas how to handle best my problem?

Thanks
