Visual Studio w/Docker has exited with code 4294967295 (0xffffffff) - docker

On our new company laptops we are running into issues running containers in docker desktop from visual studio. We tried a bunch of things which were unsuccessful. Any help / thoughts would be great as we are running out of ideas.
.Net Core Version 6 / Asp.net Core (web api)
Running docker compose manually in cmd works and I'm able to hit the site.
Running docker compose debug profile from visual studio results in:
The output window shows "The program '' has exited with code 4294967295 (0xffffffff)."
Docker desktop shows the container running but I can't grab logs from it or hit it in the url.
WSL is fine and everything is working there.
My home machine works great and i'm able to launch and debug containers.

Faced with identical error, I was able to resolve by deleting VSDBG debugger folder:
%USERPROFILE%\vsdbg\vs2017u5
After deleting the folder start Visual Studio debugger (F5) and as a result VSDBG debugger will be recreated
Container Tools build properties https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/containers/container-msbuild-properties?view=vs-2022

I have the same error when I'm trying to start 2 project simultaneously. And one project was cloned from another. So, they have the same GUIDs of projects in .sln files. After changing GUIDs all works ok.

Most of the time this error code does not provide any concrete information. In my case I had to go and find error details in logs folder. Log file is generally located at 'YourProject\bin\Debug\App_Data\Logs' location.
There was an issue with 3rd party service and it worked after fixing the service issue.

"/remote_debugger/vsdbg: not found" and "Failed to launch debug adapter" with docker-compose

I'm getting this error whenever I try to run my project (with docker-compose) and cannot find any solution. I'm really hoping I've just been doing something dumb, so here goes...
I created a simple ASP.NET Core Web App (to test this out as I was having a problem on my "real" project.)
.Net Core 3.1
Visual Studio 16.11.3
Docker Desktop ver 4.0.1 (Docker Engine: 20.10.8)
Scenarios below were tried on both WSL2 and Hyper-V.
Docker itself is running fine, I can use containers no problem.
When I create the project with Docker support, I can run it fine (it creates the container, I can debug, etc)
If I add a docker-compose setup, however, I get the following error popup when I try run my project (from VS)
The only thing I can see in the output window (debug) is this:
The program '' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).
To be clear, the build was successful, the container is running in docker, etc.
After much effort, I found a way to get more information by running the following in the VS Command window:
DebugAdapterHost.Logging /On /OutputWindow
I now can see some more detail (in Output - Debug Adapter Host Log) but don't know how to solve it.
The most relevant message (afaik) is
1> ERROR: Debug adapter error output: /bin/sh: 1: /remote_debugger/vsdbg: not found
but here is the full output:
So I'm pretty stumped. I've uninstalled and reinstalled docker countless times, tried every imaginable setting, ensured everything is running with admin privileges, and so on.
In case it helps, here is my debug output from the same run (note how it says vsdbg is found)
Does anybody know what else I can try, or how to get more insight into this?

Remote Docker Visual Studio Code - No running containers - Mac OS

I am trying to Attach VS Code Window into a Docker container inside my remote machine on Azure.
It has stopped working at some point, the message is "There are no running container to attach to", but clearly there is one because it finds it in the Docker extensions.
These are my steps.
Open VS Code
SSH-Remote Development to open VS Code on the Remote machine and install Docker extension there
I find the docker container in the remote machine, but it fails opening it.
I attach here a screenshot.
I have tried this issue of possibly being because of opening VS Code from Spotlight instead of the Terminal, but is not the case.
Thanks !
I had the same issue, but opening a folder first, on the VSCode instance on the remote machine, seems to solve the problem for me.

Docker GetServiceReferences: The given path's format is not supported

Trying to run locally a Web MVC application using Docker. Application compiles and runs fine when Set as StartUp Project outside of the docker-compose project but fails when docker-compose is Set as StartUp Project during the build when it comes to Target DockerGetServiceReferences: with
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\Sdks\Microsoft.Docker.Sdk\build\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Docker.Compose.targets(195,5): error : The given path's format is not supported.
I have added the docker-compose through Visual Studio 2017 to an existing application as described here:
How to containerize the .NET Framework web apps with Windows Containers and Docker
I appreciate this might be quite vague so if there are any more details I could provide please let me know.
EDIT:
Adding docker-compose to just default MVC template in a new project works fine so the problem seems to be with the legacy solution. Also noticed I can't navigate docker-compose project General Properties, I get the URI formats are not supported popup error
EDIT:
Adding a brand new MVC project from the template to the solution without any references to other projects also generates the error. Could this indicate that the problem might be somewhere on the solution level?
EDIT:
I have created a new Solution file and started to migrate all the projects. This way I am successfully able to compose docker image. Once I am finished migrating all of the project I will do a comparison on .sln files and try to see what is different.

Visual Studio Container Tools requires Docker to be running before building, debugging or running a containerized project

I am working on .Net core Microservices. I installed Docker Toolbox containing docker cli and kitematics. After that i created a simple (.Net core) web api project in visual studio 2017 and also enable docker support.
But when i hit F5 to run the program it shows following error and doesn't run.
Visual Studio Container Tools requires Docker to be running before building, debugging or running a containerized project.
Please review the attached image.
Visual studio error on running the project
If i build and run the project using docker cli, it's working. The problem is with visual studio 2017.
In my case I had an erroneous reference in Dependencies > Packages to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Azure.Containers.Tools.Targets
Removing the reference fixed the error.
The problem occurs because Visual studio container is unable to connect to docker for windows and solution for this is to open the visual studio 2017 from Docker CLI using following command.
/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Microsoft\ Visual\ Studio/2017/Community/Common7/IDE/devenv.exe C:\\PATH\\TO\\MY\\SOLUTION.sln
Here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
is the location of my devenv.exe file and 2nd parameter
C:\\PATH\\TO\\MY\\SOLUTION.sln
shows the path of solution file.
For further details of this solution, click Here.
In my case, this issue was caused by a disabled BIOS Virtualization. To enable Virtualization, see here. In order to check whether Virtualization is already enabled, start Task Manager > Performance > find Virtualization. If you are hosting your docker container application in full feature IIS, make sure you start Visual Studio as an Administrator.
I was getting the same error when I was trying to rebuild my solution after changing my .Net Core 2.0 application to .Net Core 2.2. As I reset my windows, there was no docker installed on my machine. To fix this all I had to do is to install the docker for desktop as I wanted to containerize my applications.
Once you install the Docker, it will ask you to enable Hyper-V and Container features. By clicking the Ok button in the pop up as preceding, will enable this features for you.
Your computer will be restarted automatically and once it is done, you should be able to see that the Virtualization is enabled in the task bar.
After this I was not facing this error.
Check shared folders inside the default virtual machine setting in Virtual box to make sure you shared the disk where you project located. By default shared only C:\Users. So alternatively you can move your project somewhere inside C:\Users folder (for example in Desktop folder)
I was facing the same issue and I resolved it by switching to IIS Express instead of Docker in debug menue on visual studio 2017

docker support visual studio 2017 fails

I've been playing with docker for a while and was pleased to see the new tools in VS2017. I've had issues before with docker for windows but I can't see why this one is happening.
I create a webapp just straight from the box and add docker support. I then simply try and launch it with no changes and I get the following error.
I have checked that the container is registered and it does look to have gotten that far:
a quick docker ps -a yields this:
The thing is the error reporting appears to be trying to deploy from a build path does does indeed not exist (my projects are on my G drive not F, that is where visual studio is installed).
So what gives? I can run the docker-compose from the command line inside the project path and then docker-compose up and it seems fine. Seems visual studio is just using the incorrect path, not sure why.
Version in use are:
Docker for windows 17.04.0-ce-rc2-win6(10840)
Visual studio 2017: Version 15.1(26403.0)
I checked again which version of docker I was using and I was using from the edge stream. I fell back to stable and this issue went away.
I had the same problem. It turns out solution told above of reverting to Docker stable version solved it. With Edge version, the build looks for solution file in the VS IDE folder instead of current folder.
