Need to run onboarding everytime with Docker and VS Code Extension

Postby standard » Fri Jun 05, 2020 9:51 am

I have set up a docker container with all the tools for VSCode and ESP-IDF. When I launch the container and attach VSCode I need to run the onboarding every time otherwise the build fails and complains about no having the correct python packages. I am saving my settings to settings.json and this stays in my project folder that is mounted in the container from my host machine.

It's as if the extension wont look at my settings.json file till onboarding has been run. After onboarding has been run there is no changes to my settings.json file and i can build my project.

Is this expected behavior? Or am I missing something that needs to be set?

EDIT: I should add that when running onboarding I dont actually download anything, I simply locate specify my python location, ESP-IDF and the tools.

Are you sourcing the export.sh after everytime the container is launched ... ?

Thank you very much for the clarification!

Though, could you please explain: why when I am running IDF container from terminal on my docker host - I don't need to source `export.sh`, and why it's required when running terminal from VSCode on the same host?

Sorry, I am a newbie with Docker, tried to find but now luck(

OK, I can share the solution now.

The problem source is in that the VS Code runs terminal as docker exec ... bash what doesn't run docker ENTRYPOINT script which contains sourcing of /opt/esp/idf/export.sh.

I think there are many ways to make this, but I made by adding

Code: Select all

"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux": ["--init-file", "/opt/esp/idf/export.sh"]
to workspace.code-workspace:

Code: Select all

{
	"folders": [
		{
			"path": "."
		}
	],
	"settings": {
		"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux": ["--init-file", "/opt/esp/idf/export.sh"]
	}
}
