Troubleshooting

This purpose of this page is to outline any known issues with using devpod and provide known workarounds / fixes.

Utilities not found in PATH​

If DevPod Desktop reports that it cannot find utilities in the PATH, you may need to wrap the call in a shell. Something like

#! /usr/bin/env sh

exec $SHELL -c 'exec /Applications/DevPod.app/Contents/MacOS/DevPod'

Port forwarding not working when NOT using an ide​

DevPod relies on an active SSH session to perform port forwarding to the local host. When running DevPod without an IDE, such as --ide none, an active SSH session needs to be open using devpod ssh {workspace} (unless you are specifying forwarded ports using docker compose).
