• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

Notes

I am installing this version because I believe it is the version I had before upgrading. The latest version does not work for me, since it throws this error every time I open it:

"The workbench failed to connect to the server (Error: WebSocket close with status code 1006)"

I know that #4443 addresses this issue, but the solutions provided are only for nginx, and I use Apache.

I too am having a similar issue with the latest version and the 1006 error. It would be nice to get a solution that works with Apache to solve this issue. For now I'm deferring the update.

What is the latest working version for you? I would like to stay as up-to-date as possible.

I updated to 3.11.0, but it introduces an error of Unable to write to Folder Settings because no resource is provided.. Doesn't seem to functionally change anything at first glance, but I know they claim to have fixed it in subsequent versions. Just don't have those versions working. I might try going through all the minor version updates to see how far I can push it.

I've upgraded to 3.12.0 now, and I'm not seeing any issues. It would seem the next releases are 4.x, so I won't be upgrading any further for now.

I took a look at our install script. It looks like it always defaults to latest, and doesn't use --version even when passed. See here:

Thanks for catching this!

Apologies for the errors y'all. The team was 4 last year this time. Now I'm the only one full-time. Hoping I can get the 1006 error and others resolved so y'all can upgrade. In the meantime, thanks for the patience!
