masscode assistant wont work with Remote - Containers (Docker)

[mschoenbein]

Hi, iam using Windows with Docker (WSL2). VSCode is running with remote containers (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-remote-release). The assistant "wont work" with this setup. I get the message "masscode app not found". Greetings

@mschoenbein massCode API work on port 3030. Maybe you need to expose this port in the docker.

@antonreshetov I think that is the Problem. The host cannot be reached in the container with "localhost" but with "host.docker.internal". Can you make a config var for the host adress?

I encounter the similar issue for remote development (not WSL), I try to forward port 3030, but it doesn't work. How can I fix it ?

manage to make it work by forcing the extension to run locally.

add this to the vscode setting

  "remote.extensionKind": {
        "antonreshetov.masscode-assistant": [
            "ui"
        ]
    }

This works for me too! Thank you!
