vscode: VSCode 1.86 doesn't work with stable Dev Containers extension

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: No

  • VS Code Version: 1.86.0
  • OS Version: MacOS 14.2.1

Steps to Reproduce:

The recent VSCode 1.86 stable release broke our devcontainer. Reloading the window gives the error bad option: --ms-enable-electron-run-as-node. This is likely the same as https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/202096. The workaround was to use a pre-release version of the Dev Containers extension, but it would be nice if the stable VSCode and stable Dev Containers extension would work fine. I’m opening this issue here but feel free to move it to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues if appropriate.

Same versions (vscode, mac). Upgrading Dev Containers to v0.338.0 (pre-release) worked for me.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.86.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

Make sure you are running Dev Containers v0.338.1 stable or later (recent pre-releases also work). This was caused by the stable version being released with some delay to VS Code 1.86, sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks @chrmarti I can confirm that reinstall the new package again (1.86.0) and install the devcontainer extension v0.339.0 (pre-release) make work all again Thanks for hyper quick response and actions on that!!

@stanislavstoyanov99 We are working on a workaround for this for the upcoming 1.86.1 (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/204344).

Closing as fixed. Thanks.
