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

There are other errors when not installing globally (such as a 404 error).

A short term hack/workaround: after the global install, go to the node_modules/code-server/lib/vscode directory directly and issue an npm install --legacy-peer-deps.

After installing code-server(v4.11.0) on my Raspberry Pi 3(OS: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11) with npm(node v16.16.0): npm i -g code-server --unsafe-perm, i installed the missing libraries with the following commands:

npm i -g @microsoft/1ds-core-js minimist yauzl yazl spdlog xterm-headless
sudo apt install libsecret-1-dev

then changed into the node_modules/code-server/lib/vscode directory to run the command:

npm i --legacy-peer-deps

Eventually code-server works as expected.

I tried installing this three packages with npm globally and it seems the problem is solved sudo npm install -g @microsoft/1ds-core-js minimist yauzl i hope this will solve the problem

Ok able to reproduce on Ubuntu 22.04 on an ARM instance. Seems a problem with the underlying dependencies of lib/vscode, specifically xterm… Which I would have expected the shrinkwrap file to prevent…

Relevant discussion for npm: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/397, but doesn’t seem to go anywhere…

Brainstorming on next steps/fixes - happy to hear thoughts/other ideas:

  • After installing vscode, before doing the release, force an install of xterm@4.19.0 which will override the version brought by the yarn.lock from vscode (which is what eventually ends up in the release package we vend).
  • Edit the install script to issue a --legacy-peer-deps, which is going to revert to an older behavior which won’t validate these peer-deps.
  • Try to force upstream (vscode) to go back to xterm@4.19.0 - though likely wouldn’t work, as the next time they upgrade deps it’ll bump to the next beta version…

And either way, need to sanity check why logging for the nested commands is not being bubbled up to the user…

I suspect it’s an issue with how the combo npm + semver computes peerDependencies…

Likely the semver carret plays differently with beta versions - i.e. doesn’t really consider 4.20.0-betaXX as a valid version above 4.19.0?
