Error fatal exit status 1 while following quickstart for Go in WSL 2

[mattwelke]

What happened?

I followed the quickstart tutorial, beginning at https://www.devspace.sh/docs/getting-started/introduction.

I was able to complete Download DevSpace, Initialize Project (I chose the "Golang" tab), and some of Development. I chose all of the default, suggested options.

During the Development step, when I got down to the part of the tutorial where you run devspace dev, I ran this command but then I got an error. The complete terminal output looks like this:

info Using namespace 'my-namespace'
info Using kube context 'kind-kind'

fatal exit status 1

At this point in time, there is a container that exists and is in a Running state

> k get po
NAME                            READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
app-devspace-77d5787fd7-qmn6x   1/1     Running   0          17m

But I'm not sure what to do at this point because my terminal has had control returned to it and based on language used in the quickstart, I don't think this is what's supposed to happen:

Once the terminal to your dev container opens

What did you expect to happen instead?

I expected to be able to complete the quickstart tutorial.

I also expected, based on my experience using DevSpace on my work machine, where it was already set up for me by a colleague, that at some point, I would have a terminal into a dev container open, but this didn't happen.

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)

Follow the steps I described above to attempt to complete the quickstart tutorial, choosing Go as your programming language. Observe the output from devspace dev.

Anything else we need to know?

I suspect that the fact I'm running this with WSL 2 is related to this issue. But I have not yet tested this in a different OS so I have not yet confirmed that WSL 2 is the only way of using Linux that causes this problem.

Tested with Ubuntu by itself (no WSL) and found that the issue did not occur then. I was able to launch the pod, get a terminal into the container, and test it out where I made a change to the code, re-ran go run main.go, refresh my browser, and see my changes reflected.
