Description

Testing #7248

I didn't have docker setup correctly on my machine and therefore I could not properly connect to the docker daemon. All the dev container CLI says is "an error occurred" with a docker command. Executing the docker command separate from the CLI gives a much more helpful "permission denied" error.
