No response

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 installed code-server with this command: FORCE_NODE_VERSION=16 yarn global add code-server --ignore-engines I don’t know if one of these flags or enviroment variables break the code-server

PS: I marked I cannot reproduce this in VS Code because its obrigatory, but i don’t have a computer to test, and no, i don’t used HTTPS.

Hmm…maybe when code-server runs, it’s running as a user without the right permissions? Any ideas @code-asher ?

The code-server process run as the same user that i use $ ps aux:

u0_a301  28881 73.7  2.1 11258292 82292 pts/3  R<l   1970   0:02 node /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/code-server --

$ whoami:

u0_a301

Yeah, this is ls -lA on /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.local/share/code-server
