Preventing automatic extension installation

[Nefcanto]

Hello

This is what I do:

I bring up some docker containers to develop my application — one for React, one for .NET, etc.

Then I want to debug my .NET code. I use Dev Containers => Attach to Running Container.

The problem is that, as soon as I attach it, it automatically starts installing a couple of extensions. ES Lint and C#.

I don't want it to install extensions automatically.

• First, we use our own selection of extensions for debugging. The default selection does not suit us. For example, we don't want ES Lint in debugging C# code.
• Second is because we use specific versions of those extensions and we install them manually through their downloaded .vsix files.
• Third is because we constantly remove containers and re-create them (chaos engineering) and this automatic process incurs a lot of internet costs for us.

So, how can I prevent those extensions from being installed automatically?

Hi 👋

Looks like you are using devcontainer/features or devcontainer/images for you dev container? We have devcontainers/features#386 open to track this request.

Feel free to comment/add your thoughts on that issue, thanks!
