Since this functionality requires information placed onto the request by code-server (req.args) and Express (req.cookies), move the standalone tests into the integration tests as the proxy can no longer run correctly on its own without that context. We could strip the header elsewhere or refactor in some way (pass in a callback function for the stripping or something) but this seems like the simplest and safest place at the moment to ensure we catch all uses of the proxy. In any case, I think it does lend more confidence to know we are testing the proxy the way it will be used in practice. The downside is some additional complexity when setting up tests, but at the moment I do not think that exchange is overly burdensome.
code-server
Run VS Code on any machine anywhere and access it in the browser.
Highlights
- Code on any device with a consistent development environment
- Use cloud servers to speed up tests, compilations, downloads, and more
- Preserve battery life when you're on the go; all intensive tasks run on your server
Requirements
See requirements for minimum specs, as well as instructions on how to set up a Google VM on which you can install code-server.
TL;DR: Linux machine with WebSockets enabled, 1 GB RAM, and 2 vCPUs
Getting started
There are five ways to get started:
- Using the install script, which automates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager if possible.
- Manually installing code-server
- Deploy code-server to your team with coder/coder
- Using our one-click buttons and guides to deploy code-server to a cloud provider ⚡
- Using the code-server feature for devcontainers, if you already use devcontainers in your project.
If you use the install script, you can preview what occurs during the install process:
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
To install, run:
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting code-server.
Note
To manage code-server for a team on your infrastructure, see: coder/coder
We also have an in-depth setup and configuration guide.
