VSCode is supported in Create Workspace, when opening the workspace configuration file automatically pops up a button to load the workspace, this button is not working

• close workspace not working
• load workspace not working

Steps to Reproduce

If I try opening the workspace file directly from the File > Open dialog, then a key is written to local storage for the workspace with a file path. On refreshing the page, the bundle does not load as the file path fails URI schema validation.

To recover, I have to delete the workspace key from local storage.

Having the same issue that @jwulf mentioned. "File > Open Workspace" results in a blank (grey) page with no options. On my local installation I was able to recover by wiping .local, but on ide.coder.com there is nothing I can do and the editor is unusable. (Console says Failed "Start workbench")

I couldn't recover by wiping ~/.local/ is that the correct location? I've only been able to get it to work after using a workspace action with incognito mode.

Open developer tools in your browser. In Chrome you are looking for the Application > Local Storage tab. Something like that. It is HTML Local Storage in the browser client, which is why Incognito mode works.

FYI Saving a workspace file doesn't seem to work from the command palette (i.e., nothing happens after providing a name). So I created one in vscode and tried to open it using code-server. It shows the content of the file and a button to open the workspace (see screenshot). Clicking the button shows the the following error in developer tools.

im wondering if #490 is related to this and if #755 fixes this

[melroy89]

I though it was me.. but apparently its not implemented..

[sr229]

Hey OP, can you try out v2? I think we have workspaces implemented

[melroy89]

@sr229 I think V2 gives me only more problems now.

Issue nr. 1:

Clicking on the folder won't change the path (which either stays /home or /), see video:

Issue nr. 2:
Moreover, I pressed 'OK', redirected me to a blank page. Which was rather confusing..

Issue nr. 3:
Eventually the folder was added to the explorer, but I can't remove it from the explorer without removing the content. Now /home/coder folder was added accidentally, which is not ideal.

If you're using Firefox you might be running into this issue: #1063

[melroy89]

Yep firefox.

We've opened this in Microsoft/vscode so it will be the web team that'll be in charge of this from now on.
