I am not sure if this is related to the bug, but opened terminal windows will also be lost :(

Does this still happen in the latest release? I'm not able to reproduce.

Check out https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/2276 for persisting terminals.

I was able to reproduce on the latest version.

Not sure if this is a bug or intended bug. Should code-server prompt me to open the workspace or automatically open it?

Wait actually it worked this time for me? Hold on...

nhooyr avatar Jan 20 '21 19:01 nhooyr

Yea nvm I was confused, I tested and it works well.

@ntimo let us know if you can still reproduce on the latest release and I'll reopen.

nhooyr avatar Jan 20 '21 19:01 nhooyr

I can easily reproduce it. When i open it in same browser then it works. Different Profiles in mac or different browsers or different devices it remembers nothing.

OS: Mac Monterey

Hi, This bug is very problematic and defeats the main purpose of anyone using code-server in first place. Any update on this?

bugwheels94 avatar Jan 01 '22 09:01 bugwheels94

@code-asher we fixed this in the upcoming release, right?

Actually, I don't know if we tested switching browsers 🤔 Should this work?

jsjoeio avatar Jan 03 '22 17:01 jsjoeio

I think this should work in the next release.

code-asher avatar Jan 04 '22 16:01 code-asher

Great, we'll test when 4.0.1 comes out.

jsjoeio avatar Jan 04 '22 18:01 jsjoeio

I am pretty sure that I can still reproduce this bug in 4.0.1 too. Let me know if screen record is needed

bugwheels94 avatar Jan 17 '22 10:01 bugwheels94

@bugwheels94 that would be very helpful!

I still have this problem in the latest version 4.11.0. I have a workspace open with terminal windows etc., when I try to access in another browser and the windows/terminals are no longer there.
