No response

Does this issue happen in VS Code?

• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

• I am using HTTPS.

Notes

I installed code-server with this command:
FORCE_NODE_VERSION=16 yarn global add code-server --ignore-engines
I don't know if one of these flags or enviroment variables break the code-server

PS: I marked I cannot reproduce this in VS Code because its obrigatory, but i don't have a computer to test, and no, i don't used HTTPS.

Does it have the right permissions?

Yeah, this is ls -lA on /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.local/share/code-server

Hmm...maybe when code-server runs, it's running as a user without the right permissions? Any ideas @code-asher ?

The code-server process run as the same user that i use

What happens if you manually remove the folder and then try installing again?

The folder doesn't even exist, I already tried giving rm -rf on it and it says the folder doesn't exist, but if you like to see the output, is here:
$ rm .local/share/code-server/extensions/* -rfv ; code-server --install-extension /sdcard/Download/vscode-clangd-0.1.16_vsixhub.com.vsix:

I suspect of this deprecation warning of fs.rmdir()

[jsjoeio]

But it's just a warning, right? It shouldn't fail because of that, at least I wouldn't expect it too. @code-asher any ideas?

Yeah, it's a warning of deprecation

Does this happen with Node 14? The last time I tried 16 it did not work.
