Not installing powershell

[Yebbenbe]

New to codespaces, never used docker. Several resources indicate getting powershell working is as simple as adding the following to the repo's devcontainer/devcontainer.json
features : {
"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/powershell:1": {}

}

I've done this, and rebuilt my container. I've stopped and started it again. I've deleted it and built a new one. Unless I'm googling wrong, there's sparse resources online about this except the same AI-generated 'it just works' stuff.

E: This is related to the Powershell module, obviously. Thought it was it's own separate repo. Once I get this sorted, would like to update the Readme.md or the Notes.md for anyone else who might experience - if someone could advise which

Hello, Yes you are correct. You can easily add powershell using devcontainer features. You can edit your devcontainer.json
sample file is as below:

{
	"image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:noble",
	"features": {
		"ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/powershell:1": {}
	},
	"customizations": {
		"vscode": {
			"extensions": [
				"mads-hartmann.bash-ide-vscode",
				"dbaeumer.vscode-eslint",
				"EditorConfig.EditorConfig",
				"GitHub.codespaces"
			]
		}
	}
}

Let me know if this helps

Hey thanks for this, I'm not 100% sure what went wrong - I think maybe I added a PowerShell plugin prior to changing this, and it somehow prevented the rebuild from working. After completely deleting the code space, starting a fresh one, and forcing a rebuild (a full one, it took a bit) it worked. Thx
