VSCode Apigee Emulator : Runtime is not Up

[LoicBertin]

Hello, 

I'm trying to use the Cloud Code extension for VScode and in particular the one for ApigeeX, I followed this tutorial (https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/local-development/vscode/manage-apigee-emulator) but after installing the docker image and starting, VSCode keeps telling me "Runtime is not up". I have gone through the docker logs with Docker Desktop and nothing seems to show an "error".

Thanks in advance for your help

We have fixed an underlying issue that was causing some of the users to see the same symptom you are seeing. The required fix for the vscode extension is available in the latest insider release v1.16.0-insiders.2.

Make sure you are subscribed to the insider release

Hi Alex, definitely, makes sense and I totally agree, thanks for the response, I mentioned the same to Apigee support handling the case already (that this/referred tread is probably not relevant and deprecated) 🙂
