ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/node doesn't work on macos

[yu2003w]

Hi, it seems that features/node doesn't work on mac os.
Is there any plan to support this?

`bash-3.2$ docker pull ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/node:1

Thanks for opening. @Kaniska244 if you get a moment, could you please take a closer look?

Hi @yu2003w ,

This "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/node:1" isn’t a regular image. Its a feature added on top of other devcontainer images. You could check https://github.com/devcontainers/images/blob/main/src/javascript-node/README.md#using-this-image , which contain reference of full fledged, regular devcontainer images for node from MCR repo for different linux flavors such as the followings.

mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node (latest)
mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:22 (or 22-bookworm, 22-bullseye to pin to an OS version)
mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:20 (or 20-bookworm, 20-bullseye to pin to an OS version)
mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/javascript-node:18 (or 18-bookworm, 18-bullseye to pin to an OS version)

Kindly let me know in case of any further concern on this.

With Regards,
Kaniska

Hi @Kaniska244,
Thanks very much for your reply.
When I tried to setup dev environment of langflow (https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow) on my macbook, the log indicated that nvm is not installed as below.
I suspect that it's related with ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/node, however I failed to figure this out.
I will try the same stuff on ubuntu to check whether it's working or not. I suspected that something is not supported well on macOS.

Hi @yu2003w ,

This is indeed failing while installing the node feature which is configured in the devcontainer.json in https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow repo. The problem looks like that in MacBook you must be having default prompt as zsh & I can see as per the error stack trace, its being executed in zsh.
This node feature referred here, requires bash to work (Ref: https://github.com/devcontainers/features/tree/main/src/node#os-support).

Please let me know in case of any further concern on this.

With Regards,
Kaniska

Hi @Kaniska244 ,
I changed 'zsh' to 'bash' in both dev.container.json and Dockerfile as below.

Possibly I misunderstood something.
