The container builds fine on both Linux and Mac, but I can't get it to work on my Windows machine at all.

I have tried running from VSCode in Windows and from Ubuntu installed on WSL but get the same error, is there something that needs to be changed when installing on Windows systems?

[chrmarti]

The touch command referred to in your devcontainer.json does not exist on your Windows box. Similarly ${env:HOME} might be empty on Windows.

For the home folder you could try using ${localEnv:HOME}${localEnv:USERPROFILE} because one of the two is usually empty and the other one set (depending on the OS).

[DennisReddyhoff]

Thank you, in the end this was fixed by checking the 'Dev > Containers: Execute in WSL' option and rerunning to get around having to reformat the json file. We also ran in to issues of Git changing Unix line breaks for Windows ones. We now run the container in WSL and it builds.
