Hi Nebula (@nebula-it)

Thank you for the contribution. The tests are failing to get sudo access while executing the onCreate script you have added for non dev container origin base images.
This is happening because the lifecycle hooks such as onCreateCommand use the default container users to execute the commands and the dev container origin base images have a default user vscode configured with sudo access when isn't the case for other base images. Would you kindly optimize the solution accordingly?

Hey Kaniska (@Kaniska244)

Do you have an example devcontainer.json that I can use to verify that setup? This was working when I tested it locally with a devcontainer.json that just had powershell feature.

Hi Nebula (@nebula-it)

The sample configuration is already present in /workspaces/features/test/powershell/scenarios.json file. The following test case can be used to reproduce this.

  "powershell_alma_linux": {
    "image": "almalinux:9",
    "features": {
      "powershell": {} 
    }
  }

If you have devcontainers/cli installed, you can use the following command for this with your changes.

devcontainer features test . -f powershell --filter "powershell_alma_linux" --skip-autogenerated --preserve-test-containers

Even better, you can run it with debian trixie(13) basic debian:trixie base image and it should reproduce the same error.

devcontainer features test . -f powershell -i "debian:trixie" --skip-scenarios --preserve-test-containers

Then if you try the dev container debian trixie(13) image mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:trixie, the error won't come and installation will be successful.

devcontainer features test . -f powershell -i "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:trixie" --skip-scenarios --preserve-test-containers
