can't run hello-world in dev container

[spottedmahn]

Expected Behavior

I can debug the node hello-world app in a dev container

Actual Behavior

Error: A compatible version of Dapr has not been initialized. You may need to install a more recent version.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. clone repo in wsl
2. cd quickstarts
3. code-insiders .
4. update dev container image to 1.6.9, reference: Rvm default gid conflicts with user gid syncing
5. say yes when prompting if you want to open a dev container
6. open the hello-world folder
7. run debugger on node app

This is a good case for resurrecting #448

Hey @spottedmahn - sorry about this. we need to dig into why. I can see that daprd is not by default where it's expected. this looks like an incomplete install from dockerfile.

To workaround for now you can do this from the VS-Code Terminal:
dapr uninstall --all
dapr init

You should no longer see the dapr_placement container already exists because the uninstall step cleaned that up. then you should be able to do this with success:

dapr run --app-id nodeapp --app-port 3000 --dapr-http-port 3500 node app.js

@spottedmahn any chance you want to test and approve the PR I have above?

I believe this is fixed, but please reopen if not
