error when trying to run lambda locally using docker with wsl2 - amazon-web-services

Question

Trying to get AWS SAM CLI working to locally test lambda functions. I've installed the helloworld python function, which I can successfully build and validate, until I add the --use-container flag, at which point I get the below errors.
I have Docker Desktop installed and running. I'm using WSL2 with Ubuntu 20.04 on a windows 11 machine.
mylaptop:~/projects/lambda/lambda-python3.8$ sam build --use-container
Starting Build inside a container
Your template contains a resource with logical ID "ServerlessRestApi", which is a reserved logical ID in AWS SAM. It could result in unexpected behaviors and is not recommended.

Answer 1

I ran docker-credential-desktop.exe version which resulted in the 111 error message, so I was able to isolate the issue to something related to docker-desktop-credential.exe. After googling around and trying lots of different suggestions, this finally worked for me, without any restart required.
