Codespaces:

1.84.2 is a bit old (Codespaces is running 1.91.1), does this persist on code-server 4.91.1?

I installed coder just recently by following https://coder.com/docs/install.

I thought that I am on the latest version. How can I check the version of code-server?

Full build of Coder, supports the  server  subcommand.

code-server --version:
1.84.2

What is the use for this commit hash? According to the commit I am on v4.91.1, don't I?

Your is on v4.19.1-rc.2 (19, not 91).

Coder and code-server are two separate unrelated products (although they are often used together), looks like you have the latest version of Coder but not the latest version of code-server.

I could not figure out how to update this because I am on the latest coder version and I thought that coder updates code-server.

Now I figured out that the code-server version is specified in the terraform file of the template. It seems like your docker getting-started template use an old version of code-server.

Oh! Yeah you are right. I will update the template, thank you for pointing that out.

@code-asher Do you know a way to open up the terminal the first time after the workspace is created?

I am not sure if you can do it only the first time, but it might work to use tasks.json, for example:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [{
    "label": "open terminal on folder open",
    "command": "${command:workbench.action.terminal.toggleTerminal}",
    "runOptions": {
      "runOn": "folderOpen"
    }
  }]
}

Closing for now but let me know if you come back to this and it reproduces in the latest version.
