[Bug]: Jetbrains IDEs Failing

[matdave]

Before submitting

• I have searched existing issues to confirm this is not a duplicate
• I am running the latest version of Devsy

What happened?

When I attempt to launch any of the Jetbrains IDEs, e.g. IntelliJ, PHPStorm, etc. It fails to open in Gateway and shows error:

Worker binary deploy failed: Worker binary deploy failed: check command log for details: Process for command /bin/zsh -lc echo\ REMOTE_EXEC_OUTPUT_MARKER_\ \&\&\ mkdir\ -p\ /home/vscode/.cache/JetBrains/RemoteDev/remote-dev-worker failed with exit code 1; stdout: mkdir: Permission denied; stderr:

What did you expect to happen instead?

Opening the IDE in gateway

Steps to reproduce

1. Select a workspace
2. Chose IntelliJ as the IDE
3. Rebuild
4. Click Open in IDE

devcontainer.json

{
  "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers-extra/features/mise:1": {},
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/php:1": {
        "version": "latest",
        "installComposer": true
    },
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/common-utils:2": {
    	"configureZshAsDefaultShell": true
    }
  }
}

Is your host out of disk space?

[matdave]

@skevetter it's running on my computer, and my computer is showing 2TB available.

[matdave]

it looks like within the VM is it much smaller

[skevetter]

I need you to provide your provider configuration. You may need to configure the storage option with a higher value than the default.

[matdave]

@skevetter I had just been using the default that gets set when you do devsy add provider microsandbox. It should be 8GB, but apparently wasn't. The storage adjusted correctly when I defined host requirements in the devcontainer.json.

  "hostRequirements": {
    "cpus": 4,
    "memory": "8gb",
    "storage": "16gb"
  }

However, I just noticed that I am having similar issues with RAM, no matter where I set it. You can see in my above I have it set to 8GB, however in the container I am seeing 2GB. Everything else seems to be set correctly though.

Figured it out. It was the "Ephemeral" setting. When I set that to false, it respected the values correctly.

[skevetter]

Microsandbox support was recently added and I consider it to still be early support for microvms in Devsy. There are lots of moving parts and I do not have the bandwidth to track down everything. If there's a desired UX improvement, file a feature request and I will look into it.
