Error when attaching vscode to running container

Question

I'm using Visual Studio Code v1.100.1 with Docker Desktop 4.41.2 and the Dev containers extension v0.413.0.

I have four docker containers running locally and want to attach vscode to one of them.

The remote explorer doesn't show docker containers stating There is no data provider registered that can provide view data.

When I try attaching a new window to one of my containers, an error occurs : Error running command remote-containers.attachToRunningContainerFromViewlet: command 'remote-containers.attachToRunningContainerFromViewlet' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes remote-containers.attachToRunningContainerFromViewlet.

I tried rolling back to older versions of the extensions and the docker desktop installation, erasing all extension data, reinstalling docker desktop.

Has someone encountered this problem ? If so, have you been able to fix it ?

i had faced this issue
check if you had already downloaded the Dev Containers extensions in your VS Code
and that should be in updated version
once downloaded once run docker ps in terminal
if the error still persists then try attaching manually

What do you mean with attaching manually? As for the extension, I’ve wiped them from my vscode and reinstalled them.
