Support for GOPROXY during go feature install

[jongray]

Hi,

Is there currently any way to be able to inject a GOPROXY environment variable into the go feature install?

I work in an environment where proxy.golang.org is not accessible but using GOPROXY=direct works. Is there a way to ensure this environment variable is set so that when the go feature install runs all the tools successfully install.

I have tried remoteEnv and containerEnv but they setup the environment for after the container has been setup so aren't appropriate.

Thanks,
Jon

Hi 👋

Can you try using the Feature as follows and see if that works?

"features": {
    "ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/go:1": {
        "goProxy": "direct"
    }
}

Even though goProxy is not a valid Feature option, it is still passed as the GOPROXY environment variable to the Feature.

If this still doesn't work, can you open an issue at https://github.com/devcontainers/features/issues, and we can look into adding it as an official Feature option? Thanks!
