Code-server: [SOLVED] Global Search and Replace doesn't work; node.js spawn ENOENT error

• Web Browser: Firefox/Edge (Chromium based)
• Local OS: macOS 10.15
• Remote OS: FreeBSD 12.1
• Remote Architecture: amd64
• code-server --version: 3.4.1 48f7c2724827e526eeaa6c2c151c520f48a61259

Fail with “Error: spawn ENOENT”

That's odd, vscode-ripgrep is supposed to download ripgrep as part of the postinstall. When you installed code-server were there any errors about downloading rg?

Something that might work to fix it would be to try running yarn in the vscode-ripgrep directory and see if it downloads rg.

Re-installing code-server might also work.

I had troubles with npm but yearn worked fine no errors, also search and replace work fine infile just not global.

I'll try the suggestion

The bin folder was empty but running yarn (and yarn instal) didn't download it either:

yarn install v1.22.4
warning ../../../../../../package.json: No license field
[1/4] Resolving packages...
success Already up-to-date.
$ node ./lib/postinstall.js
bin/ folder already exists, exiting
Done in 0.23s.

I wonder if it cause there's no binary for FreeBSD

[mike-pt]

Yeah I think that might be it:
https://github.com/microsoft/ripgrep-prebuilt/releases/tag/v12.1.1

[mike-pt]

There's a port though :)

https://www.freshports.org/textproc/ripgrep/

I installed it and simlinked rg inside the bin dir /usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/code-server/lib/vscode/node_modules/vscode-ripgrep/bin

[code-asher]

That makes sense! It might make sense to try and fix this on our end even if it's an upstream issue since we list FreeBSD in our install script and docs. Or possibly we can get a PR merged upstream.

Yeah I looked into that actually we should be easy to do at this side as a post yarn install (npm is not working for me but I assume it would be the same) that said I was actually gonna submit a GHI on MS side and point to the port
