Launch with docker-compose in Codespaces / VSCode does not work

[wulfland]

The docker-compose up as a prelaunch does not work in Codespaces / VSCode. I think the debuggerPath and containerName are missing in .vscode/launch.json:

        {
            "name": "Docker (start Frontend)",
            "type": "docker",
            "request": "attach",
            "preLaunchTask": "docker compose up",
            "postDebugTask": "docker compose down",
            "platform": "netCore",
            "containerName": "start-leaderboardwebapi-1",
            "netCore": {
                "debuggerPath": "/remote_debugger/vsdbg" // This is the path to vsdbg in the container
            },
            "sourceFileMap": {
                "/src": "${workspaceFolder}/start"
            }
        }

This is true, but i.m.o. due to a bug in VS Code.
Omitting the debugger path triggers a download during launch.
Omitting the container name triggers a question.

Our workaround is to manually run the docker compose up task, and then launch this one.
