More Info

dcx

Lints devcontainer.json and .devcontainer.json as you type. Problems show up inline and in the Problems panel:

  • typos in property names, with a suggestion (postCreateComand → postCreateCommand)
  • values the schema doesn't allow, and values of the wrong type
  • settings that don't fit the config's setup, like image in a Docker Compose config
  • missing required properties, duplicate keys, and syntax errors

The same checks run from the command line with dcx check.
