Stuck: Bitbucket Clone Repository in VSCode Dev Container because terminal doesn't take 'yes' input

[exciteresearch]

"Log" Terminal is locked for input so I cannot enter 'yes' to clone repository into the devcontainer build. This causes the build to fail. 

Does anyone have a solution?

Windows 11, WSL2, VSCode devcontainers.

Hi @exciteresearch and welcome to the community!

Looking at the screenshot you shared, it looks like the git clone command runs in a container. Before the git clone command runs, the known_hosts file from

C:\Users\<your_user>\.ssh\known_hosts

gets copied in the container to

root/.ssh/known_hosts

The issue may be resolved if you simply save Bitbucket's host keys in the file C:\Users\<your_user>\.ssh\known_hosts on the computer where this is running.

You can find Bitbucket's host keys here:

• https://bitbucket.org/site/ssh

You can copy the content on that page and paste it into C:\Users\<your_user>\.ssh\known_hosts, save the file and then perform whatever action you performed when you got this error.

Regarding VS Code's terminal not accepting input, this may be a limitation of VS Code. You will need to reach out to the product's support team to find out. However, ensuring that Bitbucket's host keys are in C:\Users\<your_user>\.ssh\known_hosts (so that they get copied into the container) will most likely solve the issue.

Kind regards,
