Describe the bug
DevcontainerConnectsilently fails when using alacritty as a terminal emulator. Neovim closes, but no new terminal window spawns to connect to the devcontainer.To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
.devcontainerconfig in Neovim:DevcontainerUpto start the container:DevContainerConnectExpected behavior
A new alacritty window should open running
devcontainer exec --workspace-folder <path> nvim.Root cause
Typo in
lua/devcontainer-cli/devcontainer_utils.lua—vim.fn.executable("allacrity")should bevim.fn.executable("alacritty"). The terminal detection falls through all checks and hits the "no supported terminal emulator found" branch.Additional context
