[Bug]: global search and search by filename does not work in code-server installed from conda-forge

[zegnog]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: chrome
• Local OS: windows
• Remote OS: linux
• Remote Architecture: amd64
• code-server --version: 4.16.1

Steps to Reproduce

1. In a fresh conda environment, conda install -c conda-forge code-server
2. open code-server
3. open a folder with some text files
4. try to search by filename using ctrl+P, or global search using ctrl+shift+F

Expected

Search works like in vscode or standalone code-server

Actual

for search by filename, only previously opened files are available.
for global search, only opened files are searched through.

Logs

Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.
• I cannot reproduce this in GitHub Codespaces.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

• I am using HTTPS.

Notes

I am using conda forge to update and maintain my code-server up to the date. But I found global search and search by filename functions does not work in the version installed using conda-forge, it does work in standalone version though.
I am not using https, but it works locally so browser does not complain.

Ah I did not see this until I already commented on #1588. For visibility, I wrote there:

From what I recall this can happen if ripgrep is missing. I would
check the logs and see if the binary exists. I think it should be
lib/vscode/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/bin/rg

Thanks for the reply. I checked the path and the executable is here intact:

And I used code-server -vvv to produce the log as below:
temp.txt

A brief check does not give me any more info about why the search break. Except there are still other ways to get more logs?

Ugh, my bad, this issue is a duplicated with #5322 and conda-forge/code-server-feedstock#74 . I did not immediately connect those two together until you mentioned rg. The version released by conda forge now works normally after I manually replaced the installed rg with the on provided in standalone version.

Here close this issue in favor of #5322 .
