Keeps reconnecting on iPad

[korjwl1]

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: Safari, Edge, . .. etc
• Local OS: Lubuntu 20.04
• Remote OS: IpadOS 15 on M1 Ipad
• Remote Architecture: I used code-server with bind-addr option and cert, cert-key option. Used pem files from Let's Encrypt for my asus router DDNS for cert and cert-key
• code-server --version: 3.10.2

Steps to Reproduce

1. Just access with any browsers on IpadOS 15
2. Then I cannot access to any files, extensions and terminal on the Code-Server. All I can see is keep reconnecting response on the left bottom part. (The one for open remote repository)

Expected

The code-server works perfectly on the Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Firefox on Lubuntu 20.04.
I also expected that on the Safari or Microsoft Edge of Ipad OS 15

Actual

I didn't see the white page, and could have clicked the ui buttons. However, when I click new terminal, the terminal partition comes out but no terminal is opened. Also, I cannot access to the folders, files and also cannot see any extensions.
All I could see was that on the left bottom part where you can see your domain, the status message kept changing between reconnecting to your doamin and your domain rapidly.

Notes

This issue can be reproduced in VS Code: Yes/No

Hmm... I'll need to take a look at my own iPad setup and see if I'm having similar issues.

Is it possible for you to take a screen recording on your iPad and share here? That might help us troubleshoot.

Getting the same error here on iPadOS 15/MacOS 12 betas in Safari. Specifically seems to happen when interacting with the extensions search bar (code-server is running from the official docker image).

Connecting from MacOS 12 using Firefox or Chromium works as expected.

Hmm... I wonder if something changed in the newest versions of Safari 🤔

I just tested 3.10.2 on my iPad today (14.6) and it works as expected. I'm also using it on macOS Big Sur 11.3 and having no

@jmlingeman do you mind posting steps to reproduce? (including how you installed code-server)

[jmlingeman]

Yeah it looks like it is likely an updated Safari problem. At least in my case if I do not try to search for any extensions then everything seems to work fine. Searching for extensions causes the above behavior. Not sure if that is the case for OP.

[jsjoeio]

Searching for extensions causes the above behavior

Very strange. Maybe @code-asher has seen something like this in the past

[korjwl1]

this is the recorded screen. I took more time to investigate, and found out that such behavior only happens after I try to search for the extensions as other guy said. The problem is that, after such thing happens, only after I restart the server the code-server comes back to normal on Ipad

Hmm... I'll need to take a look at my own iPad setup and see if I'm having similar issues.

Having similar issues on my iPad as well. Running iOS 14.6 on an iPad Pro 11” 2018 model, code-server 3.10.2 being hosted on arm64 Debian buster and installed via install.sh. This only happens when I try to access remotely over the internet…if I VPN into the LAN that my server is located on and access code-server via the local address, the problem disappears. Perhaps a weird new SSL issue?

EDIT: When I’m VPN’ed in, the constant reloading issue goes away - however, I still can’t use the terminal.

EDIT 2: I put some bunk in .bashrc that would typically throw an error, and the error message indeed got printed in the code-server terminal window. It’s making it far enough for that to happen, but yeah, no actual prompt ever appears.

[jsjoeio]

Thank you all for the screen recordings!

This is very very strange... But the fact that multiple of you are having the same issues means something has to be up 🤔

such behavior only happens after I try to search for the extensions

I just tested with my iPad setup (iPad iOS 14.6 + code-server 3.10.2 running on Railway) and it works as expected

RPReplay_Final1623342442.MP4

@code-asher or @oxy any ideas on what might be causing this? The only thing coming to my mind is issues with native dependencies i.e. ripgrep but I think that only affects code-search, not extension-search 🤔

The only other thing I'm noticing in common between @korjwl1 and @reticulatingsplines videos is in the bottom left corner - see how it keeps flashing saying "Reconnecting"? Notice how mine never changes. My guess is it has to do somehow with the connection to the environment? But unsure about that.

Have any of you reconfigured the marketplace URL?

[code-asher]

I think we might need the logs for this one. From what I understand the browser logs can be tough to get on an iPad but they might help in addition to the logs stored in the log dir.

[jmlingeman]

Here is the error that appears in the JS console (using the Inspect Browser app). Also, I found that if I load code-server in desktop Firefox or Chromium, I am able to navigate away from the extensions page, which then allows me to continue working on my iPad when I reload the page (as the extensions tab is no longer open).

Very strange.

I’m not sure how to enable the trace logs mentioned in the image, but I would be happy to do so. I also can’t seem to find where the code-server logs are in the coder provided docker container. Again, would be happy to grab those if someone can point me to where they are.

Here's my environment
Code-server

• OS: Lubuntu 20.04 (Basically same as the Ubuntu 20.04) on Synology VMM
• Code-Server Version: 3.10.2
• Installation Method: curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
• Settings: used options of '--bind-addr', 'cert', 'cert-key'. Let's Encrypt certificate was used. Nothing else used

Tested Environments

• Windows 10: Worked without any problem with Microsoft Edge

• macOS Big Sur 11.4: Worked without any problem with Safari, Vivaldi

• Android: Worked without any problem with Kiwi Browser

• IpadOS 15.0 Beta with iPad 12.9 2021: Reconnecting issue on any browsers even on the local network

• IpadOS 14 with Ipad 12.9 2021: Worked without any problem with Safari

• Lubuntu20.04: Works fine on the Firefox

  The problem must be caused by the iPadOS 15 and extension market since I can reproduce the problem by opening the extension market on the iPadOS 15. The problem can be solved by connecting to the code-server on the other environments and open any files so that the last visited page is not the extension market. If you just move to other tab and do not open any files, the problem won't be solved.
  I do not know what part of IpadOS 15.0 caused the unexpected SIGPIPE but this seems to be the reason. Since I did not reconfigured the marketplace URL, so I'll try it and tell you
