Since 18/01, trying to open the workspace on my local Visual Studio Code gives the following error :

Hi @vangel75 could you share your gitpod.yml config? From the logs I think it's something wrong with it

[vangel75]

Hi @jeanp413 , here it is (I've removed the tasks part as I dont't think it matters) :

image:
  file: ./.gitpod.Dockerfile

# Allow a failed build to fail CI
github:
  prebuilds:
    addCheck: prevent-merge-on-error

# List the start up tasks. Learn more https://www.gitpod.io/docs/config-start-tasks/

experimentalNetwork: true

# List the ports to expose. Learn more https://www.gitpod.io/docs/config-ports/

@vangel75 the error is caused by the addCheck: prevent-merge-on-error in the .gitpod.yml, I created a PR fixing it in the meantime you can remove it to open your workspace in vscode desktop

[vangel75]

@jeanp413 ok, many thanks.

[vangel75]

@jeanp413 do you have an estimated time of when the fix will be released ? Thanks

@vangel75 I think I'll be deployed tomorrow #7794 (comment)
