"Warning: musl detected, skipping GLIBC check" in devcontainers.json?

[dekiesel]

After adding the debugpy extension to the container I am seeing this line in the container config, is that to be expected?

vscode: 1.86

Apologies if this is not the right discussion board.

Hi 👋

The warning message "Warning: musl detected, skipping GLIBC check" is indicating that your container is using the musl library as its C library instead of glibc.

The debugpy extension is checking for glibc because it has some dependencies on it. However, when it detects that musl is being used instead, it skips the glibc check and issues a warning. This doesn't necessarily mean that debugpy won't work, but there might be some features that don't behave as expected.

I was able to provide a generic information on who and why adds the warning that you are seeing. If you need more help, I'd recommend reaching out to the maintainers of the debugpy extension. Thanks!

Hi and thank you for your answer. I am surprised to see this output in the container config. Imo it shouldn't be in the extensions section of the container config at all. Could you confirm that?

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with debugpy extension, hence, it would be great to contact it's maintainers.

Also, can you open an issue in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues? The VS Code team should be able to help you answer this question, thanks!
