the inbuilt port forwading not working due to vscodium does not code-tunnel in bin

[yogeshdnumb]

Describe the bug

when using the ports feature it shows the following error
Unable to forward localhost:5173. spawn /opt/vscodium-bin/bin/code-tunnel ENOENT
I looked into /opt/vscodium-bin/bin but it does not contain code-tunnel

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

• This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

• I checked the Docs page and the Troubleshooting page and my issue is not mentioned there.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Forward a port
2. Enter port number
3. get error shown

Expected behavior
I expect it to open a link or otherwise show that vscodium does not support port forwading

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: archlinux
• Architecture: x86-64
• Version: 1.85.1
• App Manager: AUR (vscodium-bin)
• Sandboxed: no

Additional context
I just am not sure if vscodium supports it a mention in troubleshooting guide would be nice

I also get a similar error 2024-02-01 15:42:47.242 [error] [forwarding] Error: spawn c:\Users\<my username>\scoop\apps\vscodium\1.85.1.23348\bin\code-tunnel.exe ENOENT

Just use https://open-vsx.org/extension/jeanp413/open-remote-ssh

Just use https://open-vsx.org/extension/jeanp413/open-remote-ssh

This looks like a replacement for vs code's remote development feature, not port forwarding

I don't even know how you have tried the feature since it's being deactivated...

The commmands and menu aren't available like on Visual Studio Code:

For what it's worth, That code-tunnel binary appears to be proprietary.

Hey, any updates on getting this to work?

Same issue — any updates?

same issue - im going to switch to vs code

[daiyam]

code-tunnel uses MS network to discover/tunnel the connexion. We don't have the structure to do that.
But the local port can be forwarded with a tool like ngrok.
Also, when connected to remote pc with Open Remote - SSH, the ports are successfully forwarded.
