Code-server: vsvim extension doesn't work

[bschau]

Running code-server 3.2.0 on a Ubuntu 18.04 server. I've install the vsvim extension but it doesn't work:

Ah yeah is this on Firefox? Unfortunately the extension uses a regular expression that isn't supported by Firefox. :(

[bschau]

Yes, this is on firefox. Bummer. No polyfill exists for this?

According to this thread:

https://github.com/eklem/words-n-numbers/issues/17

... Mozilla will make some changes to their RegExp engine in v78+ of Firefox.
Hopefully, it will solve the problems.
I will close this issue.

You can test out Firefox Nightly and see if that does it. It's v78 now. Release date is at the end of June.

I'm running firefox 78.0a1 and it seems to work!

I've seen no errors in the extensions I use. The only "minor" t
hing was:

A system error occurred (spawn /usr/lib/code-
server/lib/vscode/node_modules/vscode-ripgrep/bin/rg EACCES)

... however, a chmod 755 fixed that :-)

And now vscode-vim works. So nice! :-)

That's awesome, we should add a FAQ entry.

Should be fixed in 3.3.1 which was released a few days ago.

Firefox 78.0 has been released which fixes the browser side of this issue.

Awesome, I guess we can just close this issue then!

Thanks for letting us know @tidux
