Code-OSS Server Setup: Error server contents are corrupted

[Qfl3x]

When setting up a new server, I get the following error:

[Trace  - 10:48:02.865] Server install command stdout:
Error server contents are corrupted
bd2d2de3e07576ad4646d204: start
exitCode==1==
listeningOn====
connectionToken====
logFile==/root/undefined/.129500ee4c8ab7263461ffe327268ba56b9f210d.log==
osReleaseId==ubuntu==
arch==x86_64==
platform==Linux==
tmpDir==/run/user/0==
bd2d2de3e07576ad4646d204: end

When I open up the executable at /root/undefined/.../openvscode-server, it works fine (or at least appears to do so).

What's weird is that the logFile path doesn't exist, the path that does exist looks like: /root/undefined/129500ee4c8ab7263461ffe327268ba56b9f210d/<Extracted Tar ball>

Code-OSS info:

• Version: 1.74.2

Host info:

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
• No Users defined, only root (It's a compute instance only for executing heavy code)
• I used the files noted here: Error Downloading Server from... #33 and Error while using ssh key with passphrase #32

Thanks!

Related #57 (comment)

I guess I can detect if the server is openvscode-server and rename it in the install script, but yeah switching to vscodium is easier, not sure how popular is Code-OSS but in any case let me know and I can push a commit with the change I mentioned.

Is it possible for you to switch to vscodium?

My OS (Solus) only ships Code-OSS.

@Qfl3x please update to 0.0.27, added a new setting remote.SSH.experimental.serverBinaryName, you need to set to the binary name in this case openvscode-server

@jeanp413 I got a new problem:

[Trace  - 11:11:25.770] Server install command stdout:
Server script already installed in /root/undefined/bin/129500ee4c8ab7263461ffe327268ba56b9f210d/bin/openvscode-server

The logFile doesn't exist. undefined only has bin as a subfolder.

(For anyone else reading, you have to rm -rf the previous folder ('undefined' here) for this to work up to this point)

EDIT: I touched the token file to see what would happen and I got the same error for the log file. touched that as well and got a Server did not start successfully

EDIT2: I killed every openvscode instance in the Server, and now the real bug has showed up (It was printed, but I thought it's nothing): Error: Connection error: Client refused: version mismatch, the token and log errors will disappear if I forcefully kill all openvscode instances after the extension downloads and installs the server. First install always fails with the token bug, subsequent server connections won't as long as I kill the instances. Terminal not working, and can't install any extension.

New Update: Works fine after I edit the commit in product.json (After downloading and initial "install").

Steps to work:

1. Do all the edits on the extension config (experimental and custom download link)
2. Connect to the server -> It crashes with version mismatch/token file not found
3. Kill all instances of openvscode-server on the server
4. Edit the product.json file on the server (undefined/bin/<commit>/product.json): Make commit equal to the local Code-OSS commit
5. Connect to the Host
6. Works!

What's the version and commit of your code-oss installation? I thought openvscode-server had the same commit as code-oss 🤔

From your logs you are using using 1.72.1 as I see the commit 129500ee4c8ab7263461ffe327268ba56b9f210d so openvscode-server should be the same version, could you share the complete logs to be sure you are downloading the correct version

[Qfl3x]

The commit id that was on product.json before I edited it started with 3. So definitely different. I'll post my logs tomorrow as I'm setting up the VM at the moment. When I started the server in a browser it was version 1.74.2

(My Version is 1.74.2 not 1.72.1)

That's odd 🤔, the extension is detecting 129500ee4c8ab7263461ffe327268ba56b9f210d which does it by reading the product.json of your code-oss, and last time I checked they were using the same commit as upstream https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/releases/tag/1.72.1

If you say you have 1.74.2 then can you check the commit field in product.json of your code-oss, it should be e8a3071ea4344d9d48ef8a4df2c097372b0c5161 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/releases/tag/1.74.2

If the above is not the case then there's not much I can do sadly, probably it'll be easier to change the commit value in your code-oss installation rather than openvscode-server so you'll only need to do it again if you update code-oss

It wasn't the correct commit. I edited. I think the package maintainer needs to be notified.
