`up --frozen-lockfile` doesn't fail when lockfile is outdated
Author: s-h-a-d-o-wCreated Aug 1, 2026Updated Aug 10, 2026
npx @devcontainers/cli up --help says:
--frozen-lockfile Ensure lockfile exists and remains unchanged;
fail otherwise. [boolean] [default: false]
I just ran up --frozen-lockfile twice, changing devcontainer.json (Really simple - image and feature. Changed feature from one to another.) in between without updating the lockfile. Got success and the same container id both times.
