The approach of this project was to share the same required dev environment by using the same VS Code Dev Containers to make the start for new team members more easy and faster.

• Install Docker Desktop on Windows or Docker on Windows (WSL) without Docker Desktop
  • Because the terms of Docker Desktop have changed, I prefer to use Docker on Windows (WSL) without Docker Desktop.
• Install this VS Code Containers extension at first

Some features (docker, kubectl, etc.) were outsourced in a separately bash script, to increase the startup time for this devcontainer. If you need one of this features, you only need to comment or uncomment the relevant script.

Change the permission to executable with the chmod command.

node ➜ .../.devcontainer (main ✗) $  (docs ✗)
$ chmod -R +x

Optional activate this additional VS Code extensions within devcontainer

    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers",
    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-edit",
    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh",
    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl",
    "ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extensionpack",

Download the XS_CLIENT00P_xxx-70001320 for Linux from SAP Download Center

Drop the unzipped XS_CLIENT00P file on root

Change the path in your .devcontainer\Dockerfile

• (ENV XSCLI="/workspaces/vsc-sap-hana-mta-dev-env-node14x/XS_CLIENT00P_134-70001320)

Change the permission by running your WSL - Distro with the chmod command.

node ➜ /workspaces/vsc-sap-hana-mta-dev-env-node14x/XS_CLIENT00P_134-70001320/bin (docs ✗)
$ chmod -R +x xs

node ➜ /workspaces/vsc-sap-hana-mta-dev-env-node14x/XS_CLIENT00P_134-70001320/sapjvm_8_jre/ (docs ✗)
$ chmod -R +x bin

After that you can build the Dev Container by clicking the Remote Status bar. Only for the first time the building of the Dev Container takes about 10 minutes, but then in no time!

Running project in WSL (Ubuntu)

• For performance reason run the project in the Linux file system (~/home)
• You'll find your Linux home directory on Windows here:

\\wsl$
\\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\

• If you want, use the same Extensions in WSL by running this file code --install-extension

code --install-extension "christian-kohler.path-intellisense"
code --install-extension "christian-kohler.npm-intellisense"
...
