I can't use "RUN AND DEBUG" function in code-server , do I lack of some library or service ?

[jeffliao888]

I have installed code-server in my private network(can't access the Internet) and also can connect to my code-marketplace server already.
When I try to debug my Python file in code-server IDE ( http://localhost:8080 ), I open the python file and then click the "RUN AND DEBUG" from the side-bar, and there is nothing appear, but before I do this , there is a messages show at the right bottom of the IDE:

"Remote Extension host terminated unexpectedly 3 times within the last 5 minutes."

Do I lack of some library or service ? or I miss something to install ?

Thank you very much for your help !

We will probably need the logs from the extension host to figure it out.

Dear @code-asher ,

Thank you very much for your help !

Here is the log after I run the command: "code-server --auth none --verbose &"
after I login to http://localhost:8080 , the message: "Remote Extension host terminated unexpectedly 3 times within the last 5 minutes." appear at the right bottom.

BTW: Could you tell me how to enable to log the message to a file if I use the following command to start the code-server in CentOS 7 always ? Thank you !

systemctl enable --now code-server@jeff

Dear @code-asher ,

I found something very interesting is that I have 2 accounts (UserA & UserB).
UserA: can't use the function "RUN AND DEBUG" before.
UserB: can use the function "RUN AND DEBUG" after I run code-server@UserB now

after UserB use the brower http://localhost:8080 and use the function "RUN AND DEBUG" to debug,
then I use command> systemctl stop code-server@UserB
and then I use command to up the service> systemctl enable --now code-server@UserA

then I login as UserA and use the brower http://localhost:8080 , then UserA can use function "RUN AND DEBUG" to debug now,
although I reboot the machine, both UserA and UserB can use the function "RUN AND DEBUG" now,
so I guess if there is some configure files create by UserB while this account use function "RUN AND DEBUG", so everything work now.

Could you tell me if there is some configure files created by UserB when it use code-server ?
Because I have so many machines will use code-server, if I use UserB account to login each machine to initial it, I will be crazy !

Thank you very much for your help !

The logs should already be in files in ~/.local/share/code-server/logs and ~/.local/share/code-server/coder-logs.

EADDRINUSE means you already have code-server running on that port, are you running multiple instances of code-server? If so they will need to each have their own port.

Configuration files are created by code-server when first starting (if they do not already exist). But I am not sure why it would only work for one user and not the other. It might just be a coincidence. If you stop code-server@UserA and start code-server@UserB again does the problem occur again?

[jeffliao888]

I only running one instance of code-server in one server.

Now my solution is:

1. I start code-server@UserB in each Linux server first, then UserB login to http://localhost:8080.
2. I stop code-server@UserB and start code-server@UserA , then UserA can use "RUN AND DEBUG" function
3. I found that the other user can use "RUN AND DEBUG" function after code-server@UserB success login to use code-server.
4. each Linux server must run step 1~2 , everything worked fine now.
