Docker Run and Attach Script

This Python script, docker-run-n-attach.py, provides a convenient way to run a Docker container and automatically attach to it using Visual Studio Code.

Prerequisites

Python 3
Docker
Visual Studio Code with the Remote - Containers extension installed

Usage

Make sure the script is executable:
```
chmod +x docker-run-n-attach.py
```

Run the script with the same arguments you would use for docker run:

./docker-run-n-attach.py [docker run arguments]

For example:

./docker-run-n-attach.py --name my-container -v $(pwd):/workspace -it ubuntu:latest

The script will:
- Run the Docker container with the provided arguments
- Automatically open Visual Studio Code, connected to the newly created container

How it works

The script passes all provided arguments to docker run.
It extracts the container name from the --name argument.
It then uses the Visual Studio Code command-line interface to open a new window connected to the container.

Notes

Make sure to include the --name argument when running the script, as it's used to identify the container for VS Code attachment.
The script assumes that the container has a /workspace directory. Ensure your Docker image or run command sets this up correctly.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

Ensure Docker is running and you have the necessary permissions.
Check that the Remote - Containers extension is installed in VS Code.
Verify that the container name is unique and not already in use.
