FreeBSD installation not working error "Cannot reconnect. Please reload the window."

[siuleinad01]

I have been trying to get this to work on FreeBSD 12.1, code-servers installs with some warnings but when you load the screen, authenticate and code actually opens after a few seconds I get the above error, and in the terminal I get the following"

My end goal is to run code-server on a freenas jail but the above error happens in a VM running FreeBSD 12.

[nhooyr]

Hmm. How did you install? What version of node?

[siuleinad01]

This is what I get while installing
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh

I get basically the same behaivior with 12 when trying to open code in the browser here is the log

Let me know if you need any more info, I have tried to install the spdlog manually but get the same error everytime

[nhooyr]

Very weird. When I tested FreeBSD 12 on GCP, it worked perfectly for me.

Can you try a different machine or a fresh VM?

[siuleinad01]

same error on a new VM I just installed, it might be I am missing some dependencies if you test it in gpc, dont know

[sillero]

I ran into this on a Raspberry Pi4 with Ubuntu. It works now.

What I did was go into /usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/code-server/lib/vscode/ (in this case here) and I ran npm rebuild several times until it finished rebuilding. Every time I got an error it was because of a missing library, fixed by googling and installing the relevant library (apt, apt-get in my case).

[siuleinad01]

After @sillero comment went ahead and test and I was able to fix the issue in freebsd, so went ahead and did a fresh install in al jail on Freenas and was able to install code-server without any problems here are the steps in case you guys want to add a section on how to install a jail:

pkg git python libinotify pkgconf libX11 libxkbfile libsecret
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh

Thanks for the help

[nhooyr]

Will do!
