Hello. I recently discovered that Qt has an official plugin (or plugins) for Visual Studio Code. Is there any interest in adding a Devcontainer Feature to go with it?
For those who don't know, devcontainers are an open specification for configuring virtual containers to use as development hosts. GitHub uses them for their online IDE, Codespaces. Visual Studio Code has an extension for using them to run a project inside Docker. To make things reusable, devcontainers have Features, which is a combination of a shell script run when the container is created and a JSON file containing the configuration. It even allows specifying recommended extensions and their settings. I made a proof of concept here: https://github.com/Symbitic/qt6-devcontainer You should be able to create a codespace under "Code" and test it. The feature is under "./.devcontainer/qt6" There are still some areas it could be improved (takes a long time to install, no Android/WASM, uses clangd, etc), but it works. Is anyone interested in seeing this officially added to Qt?
