Description

When I run code server, everything works and I can connect, but after about 2 minutes (I haven't done anything in this time) I get this error:

I only get error
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/travis/build/codercom/code-server/packages/server/build/web/favicon.ico'
I have no problem after 2 minutes, a test lasting 15 minutes

Run code-server in Docker, my Dockerfile is below

@caskeep this is a OOM. Not related.

@BeckettOBrien I know how to solve this, this is sending a 204 via the code-server's server for the favicon request if it can't find it. I might do a PR for that.

[BeckettOBrien]

@sr229 So what can I do to make sure that I do not get this error in the future? Should I try to manually add an icon under that path?

[sr229]

nope, this will be solved in our end, just wait for the next release. This is a minor error, so don't worry.

[BeckettOBrien]

@sr229 Thanks for the help!

[EnKrypt]

Any update? Has the fix been integrated yet?

I'm using the latest stable release and this problem remains.

[BeckettOBrien]

@EnKrypt I haven’t tested in a while, but last time I checked this problem still happened. Are you running through docker?

[EnKrypt]

Nope, I've been running the binaries directly.

However, I've since updated to the v2 pre-release builds and I can confirm that this has been fixed.
From what I can tell, the problem remains only in the latest stable release, i.e. 1.1156-vsc1.33.1

[sr229]

v1 is a deprecated release so I encourage using preview builds going forward - they're pretty much production ready with a few hiccups.

[EnKrypt]

A bit off topic with respect to this issue, but I have to strongly disagree there.

In the 12 hours of using the latest preview build I've had a whole spectrum of issues, to name a few :

• Opening a folder is a big mess. I have to manually type out the path in the url, because the folder picker simply won't open the folder I select or type.
• Random crashes every hour or so when someone is using it. (I've yet to check logs to figure out if something specific is causing this)
• The integrated terminal tends to glitch. Either doesn't load at all, or gets stuck.

Not to mention one of the maintainers unpublished a release while testing, causing the AUR package to remain broken until I stumbled across it. Read the comments here

I'm not getting the vibe that this is production ready, and if you're saying that v1 is deprecated in favor of this, then I'm not sure that's a good thing.

[BeckettOBrien]

I haven’t tried using V2 yet, but you should use whichever build has the least errors at the moment, or continue to use the buggy version and report issues which would get V2 ready faster.
