I'm developing a ruby app in a devcontainer in VScode. In the container I am a non-root user. Now I want to install the Ruby LSP extension in the devcontainer, but I get following errors:

Failed to setup the bundle: Command failed: gem install ruby-lsp ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError) You don't have write permissions for the /usr/local/bundle/gems/sorbet-runtime-0.5.11514 directory.

See Troubleshooting for help

Even if I pre-install the gems locally and then install the extension...

# Gemfile
gem "ruby-lsp"
gem "rubocop"

...I get the same error.

Can someone please tell me what I have to do to get this extension to work? Is there a setting?

The vendor guidance for use with VS Code is to NOT install the gem:

https://shopify.github.io/ruby-lsp/#with-vs-code

If using VS Code, all you have to do is install the Ruby LSP extension to get the extra features in the editor. Do not install the ruby-lsp gem manually.

Thanks. It works. Just add Shopify.ruby-lsp to the devcontainer/customizations/vscode/extensions and open your project in container.
