Hi Alexander, I agree that inotify has known issues with WSL2, but I expect it would only be an issue with bind mounts and I'm not using any. I ran the devcontainer on a different host with Windows 11 Pro host and WSL2 and it worked fine, so there is something odd with my Windows 11 Home edition and WSL2 host. Both running latest Docker Desktop 4.34.2 (167172). Oh well, probably just wait another few months and tools will get better. For now I guess I'll stick to VPN to Red Hat Enterprise Linux host.
Eventually building software will be easy and portable. Just not quite yet! The "development container" idea is still being fought over:
