without-browser-env-var variable is not sent to vscode server

See original GitHub issue

without-browser-env-var is not specified, so tools like create-react-app attempts to start a browser at the vscode defined path and crashes

Sorry for the incomplete data, I will try to edit the issue with the logs and paths appended later

OS/Web Information

Web Browser: Any (Chrome)
Local OS: Mac OSX
Remote OS: Ubuntu
Remote Architecture: amd64
code-server --version: 4.0.1

Steps to Reproduce

Run npm start on integrated terminal for code-server
Crashes immediately trying to look at browser.sh from vscode

Expected

npm start should start, not crash.

Actual

Crashes

Notes

This is the line that gets appended to the browser env so react crashes (as there should not be a browser env file) https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/6249dab4fe849d0ad11500fabd28ddc204ef12da/src/vs/server/extensionHostConnection.ts#L60

code-server version 3.12.0 doesn’t crash

This issue can be reproduced in VS Code: No

We could add that flag although maybe we should implement https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/1528 which will allow passing any VS Code flag.

Adding the BROWSER=false to the env file works!
