Problem with JetBrains support docker for PyCharm and most likely other IDEs.
1. Why JetBrains can not connect to docker running container by using exec operation and read installed packages?
Issue:
- It is not possible to just go into running container install some library and get it visible within IDE, it needs to go via all pain to clear caches and wait until IDE will load again.
How it works now:
- It creates copy of docker image and read installed packages from it, does not read anything installed within currently running container.
- Developer needs to install packages within image creation for PyCharm to pickup it. If package is installed in current container, developer needs to go clear caches, restart IDE, wait until it loads etc. and it is because the way how JetBrains integrates and supports running docker containers.
::Reproducing issue with running docker containers within Pycharm::
---
If you want to reproduce issue create docker-compose installation with python. Start by running "docker-compose up" from terminal load PyCharm and configure everything what is require within PyCharm.
Going into running container by terminal:
# docker-compose exec ... bash
# pip install pip-licenses
This pip-licenses package will not be visible inside IDE!
Developer needs to go clear all caches, reload PyCharm and do other things just to get package recognised from running docker container.

2. Why jetbrains can not find proper solution to see packages from currently running container without clearing caches?
Cache should be update if recognised that new package exist within currently running container, not by developers maintaining jetbrains IDE caches.
3. VSCode(free IDE) did find how to support running docker containers, but paid product by Jetbrains can not solve this problem?
4. Can you at least implement something similar level to VSCode for running docker containers?
