Unable to prebuild devcontainer image (error command docker tag)

[Defman]

Error

Error: Dev container build failed: Command failed: docker tag example_devcontainer_app ghcr.io/example/example-devcontainer:latest (exit code: undefined)
An error occurred building the container. Error: Command failed: docker tag example_devcontainer_app ghcr.io/example/example-devcontainer:latest

The error only occurs when trying to push the image, the simplest setup without cacheFrom and push works like a charm.

I have the same issue:

Maybe a duplicate? #191

Fixed in the Dev Containers CLI 0.57.0. The CI action will automatically pick up that version.

This error still happens for me

Looking at the code, this might still occur when you are using a devcontainer.json with an image and no features or with a Docker Compose configuration.

@mintuhouse Could you append your devcontainer.json?
