Chapter 3. Bug fixes

Before this update, the HOSTNAME environment variable could be overridden. This resulted in the Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Open Source extension che-resource-monitor not working properly. With this update, the HOSTNAME environment variable is copied to the DEVWORKSPACE_POD_NAME environment variable before the IDE is launched to create a backup source of the relevant data.

Before this update, workspaces from public GitHub Enterprise Server repositories failed to start if no OAuth or Personal Access Token (PAT) was configured. With this update, the issue is fixed.

Before this update, accessing OpenShift API from a workspace in a disconnected cluster failed with the following error message: "HttpError: HTTP request failed". With this update, the issue is fixed.

Before this update, the GitHub Device Authentication was not available in the command palette. This resulted in the following GitHub Copilot error: "Copilot could not connect to server. Extension activation failed: "Request failed with status code 401". With this update, the issue is fixed.

Before this update, the Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Open Source launcher was adding projects from devfile.yaml to .vscode-workspace configuration file only during the initial workspace startup. If you added a new project (or dependent project) to the devfile and restarted the workspace using the "Restart Workspace from Local Devfile" option, the new project was not added to the configuration file. This resulted in you not seeing the project even though all the projects were cloned in the /projects folder. With this release, projects are correctly updated in the .vscode-workspace configuration file.

Before this update, BitBucket OAuth 1.0 was not displayed in the Git Services tab. With this update, the issue is fixed.

Before this update, defaultPlugins defined in the Custom Resource were not applied during workspace startup. With this update, the issue is fixed. You can also add additional sidecar plugins using a devfile.yaml reference:

     devEnvironments:
       - editor: che-incubator/che-code/insiders
         plugins:
            - >-
              https://example.com/devfile.yaml

     devEnvironments:
