.devcontainer Directory

[alberk8]

Is it possible to set the path for devcontainer.json file?. The project I am trying to run have the json file in subdirectory.

Yes, this should be possible as specified in the spec: https://github.com/devcontainers/spec/blob/main/docs/specs/devcontainer-reference.md?plain=1#L17 (relevant previous issue devcontainers/spec#159 and PR on the VS Code side microsoft/vscode-remote-release#7548).

I tried devcontainer up --workspaces-folder nf-interpreter/.devcontainer/ESP32 and it complain that the path Error: Dev container config (/nf/nf-interpreter/.devcontainer/ESP32/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json) not found.

--workspaces-folder would point to the folder that is going to be mount into the container. You can use --config to provide the path for the devcontainer.json.

Thanks. It works with the following cli

devcontainer up --workspaces-folder nf-interpreter --config nf-interpreter/.devcontainer/ESP32/devcontainer.json
