Chapter 3. Bug fixes

With this release, you can provide ports in the URL for Git Provider Endpoint when adding Personal Access Tokens on the User Dashboard. Previously, it was not possible due to strict validation.

Before this release, when the spec.devEnvironments.persistUserHome option was enabled, the token in .kube/config was not renewed automatically during a workspace restart.

You can find more details about automatic token injection in the official documentation.

Previously, PROJECTS_ROOT and PROJECT_SOURCE environment variables were not correctly set after using the Restart Workspace from Local Devfile functionality. The defect has been fixed in this release.

Previously, when commands were executed using the command definition in the devfile, they had a different $PATH compared to commands launched in containers defined within the components section. The defect has been fixed in this release.

Previously, users were not able to reference the $PROJECT_ROOT or $PROJECT_SOURCE environment variables in their devfile environment variables. This issue has now been fixed in this release.

Previously, during a workspace startup, the status could have been unexpectedly changed to 'Stopped' even though the workspace started successfully. The defect has been fixed in this release, and the status changes are ignored during workspace startup.

Previously, starting a new workspace with a clone of a specified branch didn’t work correctly if the repository didn’t have devfile.yaml. Instead, the default branch was always cloned after the cloud development environment (CDE) startup. The defect has been fixed in this release.

Before this release, branch detection for Microsoft Azure repositories was not working on the User Dashboard. The defect has been fixed in this release.

Previously, using the experimental CHE_FORCE_REFRESH_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN feature could result in the cyclic reload sequence during cloud development environment (CDE) startup. The defect has been fixed in this release.

Learn more about the CHE_FORCE_REFRESH_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN feature in the official documentation.

Before this release, there was an issue with adding an SSH key by manually pasting the key strings in the dashboard. After saving the SSH key and starting the workspace, the project would not be cloned with the following error message: "Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists." With this release, the issue has been fixed.

Before this release, installing the latest Python extension (v2024.14.0) would result in the following would fail with the following error message: "Extension 'ms-python.python' CANNOT use API proposal: terminalShellIntegration". With this release, the issue is fixed

Before this release, it was not possible to open links in Visual Studio Code - Open Source ("Code - OSS"). With this release, the issue has been fixed.
