Description

  • VSCode Version: 1.122.0
  • Local OS Version: N/A
  • Remote OS Version: N/A
  • Remote Extension/Connection Type: WSL -> Dev Containers
  • Logs: N/A

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a .vscode/*.code-workspace project with a .devcontainer.
  2. F1 -> Reopen in Container
  3. Fails with horribly translated error message:

The workspace could fail to open in a container: Folder '/path/to/project' is not a subfolder of shared root folder '/path/to/project/.vscode'

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: N/A
Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: N/A


Apparently, this is a regression, as it used to say "The workspace cannot be opened in a container. ...": https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60241019
