How to run Bevy on Github Codespaces

[Deaths-Door]

After setting up my development environment on GitHub Codespaces and installing all the necessary libraries, I'm encountering a runtime error with bevy 0.13.2

thread 'main' panicked at /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/bevy_winit-0.13.2/src/lib.rs:138:14:
Failed to build event loop: Os(OsError { line: 786, file: "/root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/winit-0.29.15/src/platform_impl/linux/mod.rs", error: Misc("neither WAYLAND_DISPLAY nor WAYLAND_SOCKET nor DISPLAY is set.") })
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Then I set the DISPLAY environment variable (as suggested online, using export DISPLAY=:0) resulted in a different error message.

thread 'main' panicked at /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/bevy_winit-0.13.2/src/lib.rs:138:14:
Failed to build event loop: NotSupported(NotSupportedError)
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

The code that I am using is

use bevy::prelude::*;

fn main() {
  App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_systems(Startup, setup)
    .run();
}

fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
  commands.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());
  commands.spawn(SpriteBundle {
    sprite: Sprite {
      color: Color::hex("98c379").unwrap(),
      custom_size: Some(Vec2::new(32.0, 32.0)),
      ..Default::default()
    },
    ..Default::default()
  });
  commands.spawn(SpriteBundle::default());
}

Is there a way to fix this error and successfully run my Bevy application on GitHub Codespaces?

Try use MinimalPlugins rather than DefaultPlugins, which will call WinitPlugin.

Changing to MinimalPlugins causes it to run , however no window seems to be created

If you want to run rendering in codespaces, you'll need to setup a virtual x11 server, then connect with VNC or something similar. it will also be very slow as there isn't a GPU available on codespaces, even when paying, so you'll also need to install a software renderer.

It's generally a bad idea.

Oh ok, in that case I will continue trying out bevy on my local machine
