Description

  • VSCode Version: 1.78.2
  • Local OS Version: macOS 13.4 (but, problem is not unique to macOS)
  • Remote OS Version: Any (but I used https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-remote-try-cpp)
  • Remote Extension/Connection Type:
    • Dev Containers v0.292.0
    • Dev Containers v0.294.0 (Pre-Release)

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a new devcontainer (used https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-remote-try-cpp)
  2. Inside Container: mkdir /workspaces/some_other_dir
  3. Inside Container: "Add Folder to Workspace" --> Add /workspaces/some_other_dir
  4. Error Dialog pops up. But, if you hit Cancel, everything still works (Confusing for users)
