The parsing errors stopped when I converted the forward slashes to backward slashes, but then this happened:

Local file path parse error. Resolved path must be a child of the .devcontainer/ folder. Parsed: \c:\Users\raymondzhao\work\endgame\small-docker-sample.devcontainer\foo
[2022-09-01T20:53:05.670Z] Error: Failed to process feature ./foo

According the the spec, you should reference the local feature as following -

{
        // ...
        "features": {
                "./foo": {},
        }

}

@rzhao271 Can you try testing with this reference ☝️ and see if its works?

[joshspicer]

Thanks for the report. It also reminds we of #177, which I think should tackle alongside this

[rzhao271]

Seems to be fixed now
