Dupe of microsoft/vscode-copilot-release#1129 which was resolved. Had the same problem.

[epicwhale]

Even though I'm using the pre release version, every time the container is built, it installs a non pre release version of the extension, so I'm back to this issue with every build. How do we enforce a dev container with vs insider to always use the pre release version of the copilot extension? I'm lost. It's leading to various other side effects other than this.

[bamurtaugh]

Thank you all for the continued feedback. My understanding is the next step from the related issue was to open an issue in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues since this is likely a Dev Containers extension issue, and include the repro steps of your setup (i.e. what does your devcontainer.json look like, how are you connecting via the Dev Containers extension) so that we can try it out.

Did folks open that issue and I might've missed it? If so, could you please share it here? Thanks so much!

Still plagued with this issue, I've to upgrade copilot and copilot chat to pre-release everytime i run dev container, to get them working. Here's probably how to repro it in devcontainer.json

    "customizations": {
        "vscode": {
            "extensions": [
                "ms-toolsai.datawrangler@prerelease",
                "ms-toolsai.jupyter@prerelease",
                "GitHub.copilot@prerelease",
                "GitHub.copilot-chat@prerelease",
            ]
        }
    }

And here's my full dev container json in case it help debug: https://gist.github.com/epicwhale/cd13a77c17ca24ff37c29cf55994de39

I have this same issue.

[angelusmcnally]

also encountering this

[bamurtaugh]

@chrmarti @sandy081 I assume you'd both like an issue to be filed in remote-release as I mentioned in #9840, but please feel free to use this issue instead if not!

[chrmarti]

@bamurtaugh Thanks for the ping, I'll continue here.

The Default Extensions If Installed Locally setting brings in the chat extension without remembering if it is installed as pre-release locally and that overrides any version (including prerelease) from the devcontainer.json.

I will fix this by remembering if the extension is installed as pre-release locally. This will also benefit the more general case where users are working with a pre-release version locally and expect pre-release to be used in the container too even if the devcontainer.json lists the stable release. (Assuming the user's local choice takes precedence over the devcontainer.json potentially shared with a team.)

[chrmarti]

Verification in next Dev Containers pre-release version:

• Install GitHub Copilot Chat pre-release locally.
• Run New Dev Container command and verify that pre-release of GitHub Copilot Chat is automatically installed.
