Backend Development

Hello there. I’m stuck trying to Since they changed the ‘relation databases’ course to not use Gitpod, I haven’t been able to make progress. I can’t get get past step 3/4. When I try to do the instruction for step 3:

  1. Open the command palette in VS Code by expanding the “View” menu and clicking “Command Palette…” and enter Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container in the input.

I am the prompted 5 or so times with initialization options, which are not mentioned in the instructions. When I then initialize trying to use recommended settings, step 5 does not work. I cannot find ‘CodeRoad: Start’ in the command pallete.

Can the instructions be expanded somehow? Or am I doing something wrong?

Is the CodeRoad extension listed in your extensions? (You can see your extensions by hitting Ctrl + Shift + X).

Thanks, I’ve been able to get it working after realizing I also needed to install CodeRoad as a plugin. I appreciate the help.

actually you don’t need to manually install coderoad.
If you pull in the latest changes to the repo, you would have been able to continue (and coderoad would have been installed into your docker environment which is a type of container that holds the required software setup)

You may have to uninstall coderoad later on now if you decide to do a future/other course in the RDB curriculum as it currently stands. Just fyi.
