Hey @pedmands, this looks like the same error as #1781. We think that error might in turn have been due to the same issue as #1647.

Since it prompted you to select a workspace folder I assume that means you have multiple of them. In your workspace file, there should be some tasks related to Docker (build, run), can you try moving them to yourWorkspaceFolder/.vscode/tasks.json, can see if this issue still occurs? If you're using debugging as well, there are probably launch configurations in that file that need to move to .../launch.json.
