Setup VSCode Inside Container
When developing with TEN, it's generally recommended to perform compilation and development within a container. However, if you're using VSCode outside the container, you may encounter issues where symbols cannot be resolved. This is because some environment dependencies are installed within the container, and VSCode can't recognize the container's environment, leading to unresolved header files.
To solve this, you can mount VSCode within the container so that it recognizes the container’s environment and resolves the header files accordingly. This guide will walk you through using VSCode's Dev Containers and Docker extensions to achieve this.
Step 1: Install the Docker Extension
First, install the Docker extension in VSCode. This extension allows you to manage Docker containers directly within VSCode.
Step 2: Install the Dev Containers Extension
Next, install the Dev Containers extension. This extension enables VSCode to connect to Docker containers for development.
Step 3: Start the Development Environment Using Docker Compose
This step is similar to the process outlined in the Quick Start guide. However, instead of running:
Using the docker compose up -d command, start the container in detached mode:
After executing this command, the container should start. Open VSCode, switch to the Docker extension, and you should see the running container.
Step 4: Connect to the Container
In the Docker extension within VSCode, find the astra_agents_dev container in the list and click Attach Visual Studio Code to connect to the container. VSCode will then open a new window that is connected to the container, where you can proceed with development.
