Envbuilder Fails to Clone Repo from (Microsoft Team Foundation Server) TFS
I am having an issue cloning a repo from TFS into my workspace. Because I can't clone the repo, envbuilder won't find my
.devcontainer/ directory and the DockerFile and json config in there to build out the environment for the workspace. When using the docker run command, to test locally, I'm faced with the following errors:
The base of my command:

When I run the above command I'm given this error
I tried was adding the extra environment variable ENVBUILDER_SSL_CERT_BASE64=ACTUAL_BASE64_CERT
Finally I've ran a combination of adding environment variables for
- ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME=$PAT_TOKEN
- ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME=$BASE64_PAT_TOKEN
- ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME=my_tfs_username and ENVBUILDER_GIT_PASSWORD=my_tfs_password
- ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME=oauth and ENVBUILDER_GIT_PASSWORD=$PAT_TOKEN
- ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME=oauth and ENVBUILDER_GIT_PASSWORD=$BASE64_PAT_TOKEN
- etc
They kept resulting in
authentication required@yuji.fushiguro i am unsure, though a quick question, do you usually use
git clone or git tfs clone?
also, you should try authenticating through git clone first and see what that works, then input the same values in ENVBUILDER_GIT_USERNAME and ENVBUILDER_GIT_PASSWORDYes, locally I would run
git clone https://tfs.example.com/tfs/EXAMPLE_Git_Collection/CloudEngineering/_git/example-helloworld-app-code to clone a repo from TFS. Sometimes in VSCode it prompts me to enter my username and password.
I know we have tried using basic auth before to access TFS from our cloud environment with the following command git -c http.extraheader="AUTHORIZATION: Basic ${BASE64_PAT_TOKEN}" clone https://tfs.example.com/tfs/EXAMPLE_Git_Collection/CloudEngineering/_git/example-helloworld-app-code
Are there any alternative methods other than using envbuilder?hey, sorry for the delay, have you been able to figure this out?
Are there any alternative methods other than using envbuilder?we're starting to roll out our new Dev Containers integration: https://coder.com/docs/@v2.23.1/user-guides/devcontainers it's currently in Early Access, so I would advise against it but the new integration uses the official devcontainers CLI instead of envbuilder, and also allows to show different dev containers in the web UI

Hey sorry for the late response but no I still haven't figured this out. I switched gears to building an image that's able to pull from our private registry and also run vscode as well. I do have a question about the JetBrains IDE? Are those web-based like VSCode or do they use remote access like the desktop version?
hey, JetBrains IDEs are desktop only now sadly
in the past JetBrains had a project called projector that allowed you to use their IDEs on the web, but they stopped maintaining it due to unreliability
Okay, that's what I was reading, but I was seeing one of the videos on YouTube. So I thought it was still possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uboyR5Cylk&t=20s
Can't find any real documentation of a working implementation. Every iteration I have tried has failed and I'm getting error about options I'm trying to use in the projector command when the documentation states I should use them.

We can call this close
maybe we should add it to the docs
to explain that it's discontinued
