Document setup for devcontainer

Hello,

I have a simple dbt project inside a devcontainer (VSCode in a remote container) based on an ubuntu image. On the opening of devcontainer, the vscode-dbt-power-user launches a terminal to run dbt list and it runs successfully and prints all the nodes. But no functionality is added to
Details to reproduce the error :

• I am using Python 3.8.10 with dbt 1.1.1
• The dbt debug command shows no issues
• The dbt project path is /src
• This is the content of the .devcontainer/devcontainer.json :

{
  "name": "dbt devcontainer",
  "dockerComposeFile": "../docker-compose.yml",
  "service": "dbt",
  "workspaceFolder": "/src",
  "shutdownAction": "stopCompose",
  "extensions": [
    "innoverio.vscode-dbt-power-user"
  ],
  "settings": {
    "files.associations": {
      "*.sql": "jinja-sql"
    }
  }
}

I saw other issues related to this (for instance dbt shows connected but extension has zero functionality) but it didn’t show me a missing setting in my setup. Did I forget something ? Thank you for your help !

@dataders I fixed this same issue by leaving out the python extension from my list of extensions in devcontainer.json (since the dbt power user extension is going to install the python one anyways). this is an issue with many other extensions, where VSCode doesn’t “merge” dependencies. nothing the authors of this one can do about it unfortunately

I’m also trying to get this to run in a codespace and am getting a related issue upon booting

Cannot activate the ‘dbt Power User’ extension because it depends on the ‘Python’ extension, which is not installed. Would you like to install the extension and reload the window?

When I look what extensions are installed, it says the Python extension is installed already…
