搭建LegacyPlayersV3时无法通过Docker Dev Environments创建Rust开发环境的问题求助

Problem Description #

I'm setting up LegacyPlayersV3—a tool for logging raid performance on the Warmane WoW private server—following the repo's README tutorial. I've already completed all required pre-steps:

• Enabled Intel Virtualization Technology in BIOS
• Installed Docker, Docker Compose
• Set up Rustup and the default Nightly Toolchain

The next step in the tutorial says to navigate to the Environment directory and run docker-compose -f docker-compose.mac_windows.yml up. But when I open Docker and click the "Create New Environment" blue button, a prompt pops up asking me to install Git, Visual Studio Code, and the Remote Containers extension. I've already installed all these tools, and Docker, VS Code, and Git Bash are all running normally.

No matter what I do—restarting programs, rebooting my PC, double-checking that Git/VS Code work correctly—I can't get past this "Make sure you have your tools installed!" screen. I've searched online for solutions but haven't found anything helpful. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why this is happening.

Possible Solutions #

1. Bypass the Docker Desktop GUI entirely (the easiest fix)

The tutorial's intended workflow uses the command line, not Docker Desktop's "Create New Environment" wizard. Instead of using that GUI button:

• Open Git Bash (or your preferred terminal)
• Navigate to the Environment folder in your LegacyPlayersV3 repository with:

  cd path/to/your/LegacyPlayersV3/Environment
  

• Run the exact command from the tutorial:

  docker-compose -f docker-compose.mac_windows.yml up
  

This should skip the tool check prompt entirely, since you're using the command-line approach the README was written for.

2. Fix Docker Desktop's tool path detection

If you want to use the GUI flow, Docker might not be finding your installed tools because they're not in your system's PATH:

• Check Git: Run git --version in Git Bash. If it returns a version number, Git is in your PATH. If not, add C:\Program Files\Git\bin (default install path) to your Windows Environment Variables under "System PATH".
• Check VS Code: Run code --version in Git Bash. If it works, VS Code is in PATH. If not, add C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\bin to your PATH.
• After updating your PATH, fully quit Docker Desktop (right-click the tray icon and select "Quit Docker Desktop") then restart it, and try the "Create New Environment" flow again.

3. Verify the Remote Containers extension is active

Open VS Code, go to the Extensions panel, search for "Remote - Containers", and make sure it's enabled (not just installed). If it was disabled, enable it and reload VS Code (press Ctrl+Shift+P and select "Reload Window") before trying the Docker GUI flow again.
