Notes

This issue can be reproduced in VS Code: Yes/No

I don’t have VSCode installed locally, and would prefer not to install it, sorry

This is possibly related to https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/2675 or https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/14959. It may also be a limitation of Coder’s internal extension marketplace

I was able to get Python working with version (code-server 3.9.2 109d2ce3247869eaeab67aa7e5423503ec9eb859 ) of code-server by doing these in order

Disable extensions.autoUpdate ( label Extensions: Auto update )
Downloading version ms-toolsai.jupyter-2020.11.358541065 of jupyter and installing it ( you can google the whole string )
Downloading version ms-python.python-2020.11.358366026 of python and installing it

This project is so great , it gives me the same excitey feelings as emacs, so great.

@trir262 hi!

Just noticed this - you appear to be using Microsoft’s ‘official’/proprietary vscode-server binary, not our open-source code-server tool (which is what this repo is for). We currently do not support connecting to a locally installed VSCode with an extension, and code-server can only be accessed in a web browser.

I’ve mentioned this on the original issues you’ve filed upstream too!

I now went to Extensions and saw the possibility to install the extensions to the remote endpoint. That way I am able to install the extensions and now it does seem to work for me. I was able to install Jupyter and now python dev works as it should. There is an inconsistency apparently in installing vsix offline and “Installing extension in remote”

trir262 on Mar 29, 2021

Here are the steps I took:

Installed vscode on win10 client Installed “Remote Development” extension Connected to SSH Linux endpoint, which installed vscode server Downloaded vsix for Python, gitlens & jupyter Installed Python & Gitlens via offline install (linux device has no access to internet) Unable to install Jupyter (apparently that’s not supported, according to my other issue) Opened a remote path that has a .py file in it Opened .py file --> Exception appears in bottom screen I don’t run vscode in a web browser but use the client

Apologies, Here’s my info: Version: 1.54.3 (system setup) Commit: 2b9aebd5354a3629c3aba0a5f5df49f43d6689f8 Date: 2021-03-15T10:55:45.459Z Electron: 11.3.0 Chrome: 87.0.4280.141 Node.js: 12.18.3 V8: 8.7.220.31-electron.0 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042

I think this might be because the Python extension version we ship right now needs code-server 3.9.1/VSCode 1.53. Can you try on the latest version?
