Testing #2849

  • have an Alpine WSL2 distro that is not the default distro
  • in the Docker Desktop settings the distro is enabled for integration
  • reopening a folder from that distro fails as docker can not be found

Is there a docker executable in the distro when you check on the command line? Maybe the WSL2 integration of Docker Desktop malfunctioned? (Related: #2868)

No, docker is not on the path of the Alpine distro. But I have Alpine checked in the Docker Desktop settings.
So yes, this is for sure a Docker Desktop issue. Either the integration failed, or it has to do with Alpine.
I think what needs to be done on our side is a better error dialog with a link to help (how to enable the integration, how to debug it, known limitations (Alpine?), how to file issues against Docker Desktop).

Fixed with #2868 then. That checks for docker on the WSL side and shows an error dialog with a link to an article about the WSL2 integration tech preview on docker.com. (The same linked from the test item.)
