Setup vscode development for dapr in WSL

- 1 minutes read - 205 words

Dapr development is quite difficult to setup correctly. You can get the idea from (this issue) as the issue is still open now since it was created.

I followed the instruction to install dapr vs code extension in dapr. My environment is WSL based. I tried several times to try to debug the dapr applications and failed. I noticed in the following screenshot that there was a warning icon before kubernetes. I got 'Failed to update dependencies: The "streams" argument must be specified. ' error when I clicked the warning icon.

I googled internet and finally reached the issue after serveral failed attempts from other solutions in the internet. There are several solutions in the issue, none of them works on my case. I combined serveral ideas from this issue and got the solution to my case. Here is my solution to the issue in WSL.

  • Get output of "Bridge To Kubernetes"

  • Open the log file of "Bridge To Kubernetes"

  • Find the link of lks.json

  • Open lks.json and locate the url of lpk-linux.zip

  • Download lpk-linux.zip and unzip lpk-linux.zip

  • Move lpk as ~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/mindaro.mindaro/file-downloader-downloads/binaries

  • chmod +x the 3 files: bridge,kubectl/linux/kubectl and EndpointManager/EndpointManager

  • export BRIDGE_BUILD_PATH=.config/Code/User/globalStorage/mindaro.mindaro/file-downloader-downloads/binaries: bridgetokubernetes can’t correctly locate the binaries as it detects the environemtn as WSL.
