I'm getting the very same error in the beginning. Later, when I navigate to the code-server's address in my browser, login with the generated password and mess around in vscode it suddenly crashes.
In order, I did the following actions:

  • open terminal and execute go version then python3 -V
  • created a new folder
  • Hit File -> Open Folder and navigated to one of the newly created folders
  • crash

I managed to make it work with specifying -d like this:

./code-server ./projects/<myproject> --allow-http --no-auth -d /Users/<username>/.code-server

But I still see the same error in the console.

makamekm picture makamekm on 12 Mar 2019

@xuemind seems like your error is caused because the VM ran out of memory. You might need to add a gb or two of swap so the binary is able to boot properly without running our of memory. I was able to get it running on a GCP micro instance with 600mb of memory like this

Same here on Ubuntu 18.10 server via the binary.

However by specifying -d /home/[user]/.code-server and manually creating /home/[user]/.code-server/Backups/workspaces.json it seems to have worked!

@ndom91 what does your workspaces.json file look like? I'm having trouble finding an example and am receiving a cannot read property 'map' of undefined error with an empty workspaces.json file.

I just created an empty one, i.e. touch /home/[user]/.code-server/Backups/workspace.json

Hmm strange, like I said mine worked while it was empty - as long as it was there. The full command for me was the following:

I solved this in Docker on elementaryOS (Linux Desktop)

I tried the following docker-compose setup:

  vscode:
    image: codercom/code-server
    entrypoint: sh -c "mkdir -p /root/.local/share/code-server/Backups/ && touch /root/.local/share/code-server/Backups/workspaces.json && code-server --allow-http"
    expose:
      - 8443
    volumes:
      - /home/henry/development:/root/project
    restart: always
    networks:
      - vscode
    depends_on:
      - nginx-proxy

Notice I just overrode the entrypoint to make the file in question then run code-server

  1. use directory A as workspace to mount and start the docker, not error
  2. use directory B as workspace to mount and restart the docker, ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/root/.code-server/Backups/workspaces.json
  3. switch back to directory A as workspace to mount and restart, no error

Looks like if you use a new workspace directory, it did not correctly create the workspaces.json?

Same error using MacOS Mojave. Running from the binary works even with the same error, so, maybe is related to another thing. 🤔

Anyone found a workaround ?? This problem still exists
Tried everything from specifying different folder to creating the file manually.

I always prefer binary file compared to docker. Seems like NO one is able to use the binary file installation.

@adithyau I don't have problems running from the binary one, but from docker. That's curious.

gugadev picture gugadev on 17 Mar 2019

When using the docker command shown on the homepage, I've worked around this error by additionally mounting /root/.local to a path or a volume:

$ docker run -t -p 8443:8443 -v "$(pwd)/.coder:/root/.local" -v "$(pwd):/root/project" codercom/code-server code-server --allow-http --no-auth

Note: above command is insecure, use only for testing locally and always review the security documentation provided.

Cheers.

/root/.local/share/code-server/Backups/workspaces.json Have you tried overwriting the entire file?

This error _shouldn't_ actually cause any issues. Not sure if we should suppress it.

Originally, I couldn't load it out with black screen, but later I updated the configuration of nginx, so that vs code could be loaded out on the web page。

Same error using GCP,

Ran into a similar issue, but noticed that when I opened the page in "Incognito" mode, it worked. I suspect that some state is getting saved into the browsers local storage. Clearing it seemed to solve the problem.

In Chrome you can clear a single site with: Developer Tools > Application (tab) > Clear storage

Edit: This is incorrect. As @kylecarbs pointed out below, it's related to an invalid folder. Please ignore.

mdp picture mdp on 20 Mar 2019

@mdp that's an issue with opening an _invalid_ folder. We've fixed that on master. Will come in a release later today.

What is suppose to be in the workspace.json file? If we just set it to default params, shouldn't it work fine?

Is it not maybe an error with your firewall? (UFW or something)

Not working for me. I'm running using the Docker oneliner behind an nginx reverse proxy. All I get is a black screen.

Check if the port 8443 is allowed in ufw rules

Sorry for the confusion here, I am able get the code server up and running.
But even after the connection I got the above error in command line.
Despite the error try to access the link.

I have instance with Ubuntu 18.04 (LTS), installed the latest as of today Coder release which is

root@codercom:~/dev/recommended-bump# code-server --version
1.408-vsc1.32.0

And everything is working except that same error, and I'm guessing that's why my integrated terminal is black and cannot see anything?

tunnckoCore picture tunnckoCore on 30 Mar 2019

This error doesn't actually cause any issues. I would suspect the black terminal is caused by something else

coadler picture coadler on 30 Mar 2019

@coadler for example? It was that why just after fresh machine install and fresh code-server startup. No settings changes or anything. Any ideas to debug it?

tunnckoCore picture tunnckoCore on 30 Mar 2019

Aaaaah, heck. Forget it, just realized to try to disable the Brave's Shields blocker :D Sometimes blocks too much, sometimes not enough.

This issue is closed, is not a bug of code-server? I noticed that the code-server running normally, should I just ignore this error for now?

@liupengf12 yes.

edit: Or at least you can add the file with this content

{
  "rootURIWorkspaces": [],
  "folderURIWorkspaces": [],
  "emptyWorkspaceInfos": [],
  "emptyWorkspaces": []
}

It's a default one.

tunnckoCore picture tunnckoCore on 31 Mar 2019

Same here on Ubuntu 18.10 server via the binary.

However by specifying -d /home/[user]/.code-server and manually creating /home/[user]/.code-server/Backups/workspaces.json it seems to have worked!

@ndom91 hello, i tried your method but then i got the following error

it shows the same error and I couldn't open code-server.

Just wanted to note that it is working for me on a fresh install via the binary now as well. Without any fooling around with folders or arguments.

I pushed a commit which should resolve the JSON message, but it doesn't cause any issues so you can safely ignore it until the next release.
