Does this issue happen in VS Code?

• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

• I am using HTTPS.

Notes

I had tried to go into /usr/lib/code-server and run yarn, but no luck, where is tsserver.js?

[imwux]

I have the same issue

[jsjoeio]

I cannot reproduce on macOS

where is tsserver.js

Could be this file 🤔 but not 100% sure:

VS Code's tsserver was deleted by another application such as a misbehaving virus detection tool. Please reinstall VS Code

Do you have a firewall or virus tool installed? And did you try reinstalling the extension like it suggests?

More info here maybe: microsoft/vscode#72721

This was missing /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules/typescript/lib , it affected vscode.typescript-language-features looking for tsserver.js and html-language-features looking for typescript.js . I took the typescript dir from another install and no more errors

[jsjoeio]

@code-asher does this ring a bell? It seems very odd that we would be missing one file.

Otherwise I can look into it. I couldn't reproduce though.

[matt-teix]

Also have this issue after updating this morning

[Inky1003]

Also had the issue updating It now. 4.1.0 seems to work fine. Using userLAnd, Ubuntu and install.sh

[gghub77]

node_modules/typescript

The whole typescript dir wasn't there for me under node_modules

[jsjoeio]

Wow...I wonder if it's Linux only then 🤔

For anyone else having this issue, please give a 👍🏼 to the first comment so we can gauge how many people are affected by this.

[imwux]

I can add that I am also running it on linux, the issue appeared when updating to 4.2.0.

I'm also experiencing this following a yay update to 4.2.0 with code-server self-hosting on Manjaro. My case is more general than the original submitter - my steps to reproduce don't involve creating a plugin, just to open my browser to code-server.

same here, anytime I open a file it pops up essentially

[chientrm]

Thing work fine with code-server 4.1.0. However, I can only login Github Copilot with code-server 4.2.0.

[h4ck4life]

I'm affected as well after updated to 4.2.0 .

4.1.0 has no issue.

Ubuntu 20.04

[ArtCore7]

Same Issue with 4.2.0 on:

Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

For everyone who wants to go back to 4.1.0 with install.sh OneLiner:

https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 4.1.0
sudo systemctl restart code-server@$USER

[ppedrotti]

I also have the issue with 4.2.0 on Debian 11, downgrading to 4.1.0 solved the issue. Installed using npm.

[pottiera]

Same issue on macOS 12.3

Can you upload the folder here, and where to put it ?

[aghasemi]

Same issue here. Happened after upgrading to 4.2.0 and I don't want to downgrade because of Jupyter notebooks :D

Put typescript package at /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules/typescript

$ npm i typescript
$ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules
$ sudo cp -r node_modules/typescript/ /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules/

[yokowasis]

Put typescript package at /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules/typescript

$ npm i typescript
$ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules
$ sudo cp -r node_modules/typescript/ /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules/

Thanks. I can confirm this is working.

Put typescript package at /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules/typescript

$ npm i typescript
$ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules
$ sudo cp -r node_modules/typescript/ /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions/node_modules/

Thanks. Your solution gave me an idea to fix it. It seems to work like mine.
It seems (at least in my case) there's no node_modules in /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions directory.
Personally, I use this:

cd /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions
sudo npm init -y
sudo npm i typescript

Obviously, this solution is meant to be temporary (until the real bug fix be applied). But at least, it works :)

[drmrbrewer]

I had the same problem (Ubuntu 20.04) and the solution from @Alirezaja1384 works for me (thanks)... didn't try the one from @cxy930123 but probably it does the same thing? Also in my case there was no node_modules in /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions before running the npm fix but there is after (with just typescript inside).

[M4TH76]

For the linuxserver/code-server/ docker container users here the fix:

log in the container console and type:

cd /app/code-server/lib/vscode/extensions
npm init -y
npm i typescript

reload your browser

[jsjoeio]

@code-asher any ideas on this? Did we forget something in one of our patches?

[ZauberNerd]

@jsjoeio do you plan on releasing a fix version for this or do we need to downgrade to 4.1.0 / wait for 4.3.0?

[jsjoeio]

@ZauberNerd yes, this fix will be in the next release!
