  • code-server version: 1.1119-vsc1.33.1
  • OS Version: Debian Stretch

Description

The open files are not kept when you reload code server, instead it always loads the same set (memorized from long ago).

This worked at some point in time. I did not track the version where this started happening, but it was around the time service workers were introduced.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open some files
  2. Reload code server
  3. The files you had originally open will no longer be

Same for the cmd session, it's also forgotten upon reload

Try clearing your localStorage to prevent the really old files from opening. We used to store open files in localStorage, but since service workers can't access localStorage it never gets updated with the new files.

Open up your browser console while connected to the IDE and do localStorage.clear(). Then kill code-server and close your browser tab, restart code-server and reopen your browser tab.

@deansheather, do we have any code change to fix this? where can we download the new binary without having to use the workaround suggested above?

web will be merged soon. There's no released binaries for the web branch yet, so you'll have to use the workaround. Sorry about that.
