Description
Type: Bug
- Start a docker container
- Start VSCode
- Try to connect to docker container without an internet connection
It fails because VSCode needs to download a vscode server to install inside the docker container. However, if offline, there should be cached or "default" vscode server already available on the system. It should not fail outright.
There are several issues like this already open, but there has been NO FIXES for this simple thing for over 4 years. This is embarassing!
