vscode rust devcontainer: cargo build resulting in "failed to link or copy

[dss010101]

Problem

Im not sure if should be reaching out here or vscode for help on this...but i will start here and let me know if im int he wrong location..

i have built a vs code devcontainer based on mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/rust:1-1-bullseye, running under Docker Desktop on windows 11. I am able to run a basic example using this without any dependencies

i have the following structure (Note: the target and Cargo.lock do not exist until after i attempt a cargo build:

My toml looks like this:

[package]
name = "aipg_client"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

#[dependencies]
#tokio-postgres = "0.7.10"

when i do Cargo build or run from command line, i see this:

vscode ➜ /workspaces/aipg_client $ cargo clean
     Removed 19 files, 3.7MiB total
vscode ➜ /workspaces/aipg_client $ cargo build

i checked these folders and they are all r/w.
What am i doing wrong?

Steps

1. Create a vscode dev container: CTRL+SHIFT+P -> devcontainer:new -> rust
2. Note: i jused a Dockerfile + Docker Compose along with .devcontainer.json. but the issue is reproducible with just a .devcontainer.json file
3. Install rust analyzer extension in the container
4. from bash terminal: cargo new test
5. run cargo build twice

Possible Solution(s)

Could you fill in each section of the issue template? A clear minimal reproducible example helps debugging. Also, please provide the output of cargo -vV which is the version info.

though i dont know if its relevant here i are my docker file and docker-compose:
docker file:

RUN echo "env: $ENV, user: $USER_NAME, user_id: $USER_ID, app_home: $APP_HOME"

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install acl iputils-ping less libpq-dev nano postgresql-client sudo

RUN groupadd -g $GROUP_ID -o $USER_NAME
RUN useradd -m -s /bin/bash -u $USER_ID -g $GROUP_ID $USER_NAME

FROM aipg_client_base as aipg_client_local

As per this discussion: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72448053/rust-incremental-build-not-working-in-vscode-devcontainer

if i add a .cargo/config.toml with the target anywhere outside my project workspace, it seems to work fine

[build]
target-dir = "/tmp/target"

But why? this of course isn't helpful given that that path outside the workspace is ephemeral storage

[dss010101]

Anyone with any advice on how to go about resolving this?

I had the same problem and I thought it was the problem of build dependencies until I saw this post.
It did resolve my issue too...

I am also very curious about what caused this.
