Getting the following JS console error on a fresh dev install created using these steps - [Developing Discourse using a Dev Container](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developing-discourse-using-a-dev-container/336366)

Is it something to be ignored and won’t interfere with active plugin development or do I need to carry out some steps to fix or sidestep this issue?
