Enabling `devcontainer` does not add `.devcontainer.json`

See original GitHub issue

Setting the devContainer: true, on the project works and creates entries in .gitignore, files.json, but the actual .devcontainer.json isn’t created.

This works:

new vscode.DevContainer(turbo, {
  dockerImage: {
    image: 'node',
  },
})

I guess when setting devContainer: true on the project, it doesn’t set any defaults and then because of that, the file is not rendered, as it’s set to omitEmpty: true.
