Description

Installed the extension in a Devcontainer and if I try to add a connection, all I get is an error:

Error running command msg.addConnection: command 'msg.addConnection' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes msg.addConnection.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure in a Linux devcontainer with VS Code 1.104.3 and MySQL Shell for VS Code 1.19.17, then locate the extension entry point that contributes or registers msg.addConnection. Done means adding a connection no longer reports that the command is not found. The issue names no files or tests, so the relevant implementation and test coverage must first be identified.
