Fix: Update installation of code-server - Latest release of code-server use a tag name different from release name - Use NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS to install extensions even on CLI (cdr/code-server#1173) — committed to Zenika-Training/infra4lab by zigarn 4 years ago

@zigarn How did you get the log? I have the same problem on macOS, but I see no detailed log from the OUTPUT panel.

Logs are not in STDOUT but in ~/.local/share/code-server/logs.

Can access the URL (so network is fine), but the path seams to be wrong and give 404:

Installing through CLI works fine, but not in UI:

$ code-server --install-extension vscode-icons-team.vscode-icons
Installing extensions...
Installing extension 'vscode-icons-team.vscode-icons' v9.5.0...
Extension 'vscode-icons-team.vscode-icons' v9.5.0 was successfully installed.
