~/.local/share/code-server/User/settings.json is not respected in code-server v4.0.0

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: Firefox 95.0 (64-bit)
• Local OS: macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave)
• Remote OS: Debian bullseye
• Remote Architecture: 64-bit
• code-server --version: 4.0.0 0f395955515207f9b461ffdd2a595f35311dd05f

Steps to Reproduce

Log in at https://vscode-r.jupyter.b-data.ch.

Expected

The following settings should be applied:

~/.local/share/code-server/User/settings.json

{
  "editor.tabSize": 2,
  "telemetry.enableTelemetry": false,
  "gitlens.advanced.telemetry.enabled": false,
  "r.bracketedPaste": true,
  "r.plot.useHttpgd": true,
  "r.rterm.linux": "/usr/local/bin/radian",
  "r.rterm.option": [],
  "r.workspaceViewer.showObjectSize": true,
  "workbench.colorTheme": "Default Dark+",
  "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "MesloLGS NF",
  "r.sessionWatcher": true
}

Actual

Settings are not applied. ℹ️ It seems v4.0.0 is using the browser storage instead of the file system to read/set settings.

Let’s plan to have a discussion offline in January and then I’ll share notes in a Discussion afterwards with the community.

On a similar note, “bind-addr:” in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml is not respected either.

All other default options are still respected though.
