godatadriven / python-devcontainer-template Goto Github PK

Following the instructions in the README does not seem to create a working Python development setup.

What I did:

• Platform: Intel macOS Sonoma 14.3, Docker Desktop 4.27.1, VSCode 1.86.
• Read the nice blog post
• Visited the project page.
• Pressed the "use this template GiHub button" link in the README.md
• Successfully created my own copy of the project, at GitHub, without modifying anything.
• Cloned my own copy
• Opened the cloned folder on my machine, with VSCode 1.86.0.
• Answered "I trust this code" (or some such)
• Closed and reopeneded the folder in VSCode, got the prompt "Reopen in Container", wait while the container is started.
• Open the test_sales_analysis.py file, and get warnings about missing pyspark dependencies, see screenshot.

What I would have expected is for everything to work without further configuration, e.g. what a new developer would want during on-boarding.

Sometime during the dev container setup I got a warnings about outdated lint settings or some such. I do not know whether this is relevant.

Also, while having the test_sales_analysis.py open in VSCode, the window says "Python 3.11.2 64-bit" in the lower right corner, which sounds like the version on my Mac, not the version in the Dev Container. I do not know whether this is normal.
