abstractExtensionService.ts:644 Extension host (Remote) terminated unexpectedly. Code: 0, Signal: null

Steps to Reproduce

1. edit config.yaml and add this:

bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:8080
auth: password
password: "12345"
cert: true

2. run code-server: code-server

Expected

code-server can be accessed via HTTPS and all expected features work.

Actual

Browser complains about about SSL certificate says "Cannot reconnect"

I have the same situation.
Additionally it seems like some extensions can't load their settings and don't work.

[tenpaiyomi]

Receiving the same issue here as well, completely fresh install. I've noticed a few things, similar to the above, which makes me believe this is the extension host again.

1, the reconnecting loop happens exactly 3 times.
2, Between the 2nd and 3rd reconnect loop, I'm getting the following error message in the console logs

The connection to wss://192.168.1.5:8500/?type=ExtensionHost&reconnectionToken=6661fa0b-34b7-457a-8498-104b5f0249be&reconnection=true&skipWebSocketFrames=false was interrupted while the page was loading.

3, After the 2nd reconnect, before the 3rd, I get the following errors:

Error received from starting extension host (kind: Remote)
The remote extenion host took longer than 60s to send its ready message.

[tenpaiyomi]

Additionally, reverting to 3.12.0, I do not exhibit the above behavior.

[aleleba]

It happens to me too.

[jsjoeio]

Can someone please provide reproduction steps? I'm running 4.0.1 on macOS with Brave and do not see this.

[tenpaiyomi]

@jsjoeio for me it was just installing the image, starting it up and loading up the UI. Latest Firefox, Win 10.

[jsjoeio]

I'm running from source directly on macOS + Brave and can't reproduce this :(

@code-asher any ideas?

[onepunchdan]

For me, this behavior occurs on a fresh install when specifying a cert in config.yaml. Extensions successfully load with cert: false and I no longer get the "Cannot reconnect. Please reload the window." popup.

(edit: my environment)
Pop!_OS 21.10 x86_64
Firefox 96.0b10

@onepunchdan good catch!

I upgraded to 4.0.1 and now none of my extensions loaded and after about 5 seconds I receive the error and same console logs that the OP mentioned.

I commented out my cert configs in my config.yaml and reloaded and now it loads fine with all my extensions and no errors (except for the untrusted connection error).

@jsjoeio maybe this will be enough info for you to replicate the issue?

[tenpaiyomi]

Counter point, I have never touched the config.yml file when experiencing this issue. I went and checked mine to be sure and it is, I presume, default:

bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:8080
auth: password
password: <redacted>
cert: false

[ochen1]

Additionally, reverting to 3.12.0, I do not exhibit the above behavior.

I can confirm, 3.12.0 does not exhibit the same behavior. No errors after downgrading.

[JtMotoX]

I was able to downgrade my Ubuntu install which is working fine now.

> curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 3.12.0
Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Installing v3.12.0 of the amd64 deb package from GitHub.

How do I downgrade my macOS install? Even though I pass the version, it tries to install the latest.

> curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --version 3.12.0
macOS v11.6.2
Installing latest from Homebrew.

[vincentchu37]

Can confirm same behavior using the codercom/code-server:4.0.1 docker image on docker. codercom/code-server:3.12.0 works as intended.

vincent@3:~/code/.config/code-server$ cat config.yaml 
bind-addr: 127.0.0.1:5443
auth: password
password: redacted
cert: true
proxy-domain: code.quickbrownfoxes.org

[JtMotoX]

This can be replicated & tested on any system (tested on macOS, Windows, and Linux) with the docker command below.

Log in with https on port 8080 with the password "temp" and bypass the untrusted cert warning. Just sit back and watch the Console logs and after about 2 minutes you will get the connection error. Even when I pass a valid trusted cert, I still get the reconnection errors.

If I remove the --cert flag and log in with http, I do not get any reconnection errors.

docker run --rm --name code-server --entrypoint "/usr/bin/entrypoint.sh" -p 0.0.0.0:8080:8080 -e PASSWORD="temp" codercom/code-server:4.0.1 --bind-addr 0.0.0.0:8080 --auth "password" --cert
