Chapter 3. Bug fixes

Before this update, including a Bitbucket Personal Access Token (PAT) in workspaces on a OpenShift Dev Spaces installation with Bitbucket OAuth integration resulted in a "Backend is not available" error message. With this update, the workspace starts without issues.

Before this update, OpenShift Dev Spaces failed to find devfiles at the root of GitLab private repositories. This update solves the issue.

Before this update, there was an issue with volume sizes in devfiles being ignored. With this update, if at least one volume in a DevWorkspace specifies its size, and the computed PVC size is greater than the default per-workspace PVC size, the computed PVC size will be used.

Before this update, OpenShift Dev Spaces failed to find the devfile.yaml in Azure DevOps Git repositories when the provided URL ended with the .git suffix. This behavior has been addressed in this release.

Before this update, you could experience the page blinking shortly when navigating to the "Existing Workspace" page on OpenShift Dev Spaces User Dashboard. This has been addressed in this release.

Before this update, the User Dashboard would sometimes create a workspace twice resulting in the "409 Conflict" error. This behavior has been addressed in this release.

Before this update, workspace startup failed when the file name of the raw devfile was not devfile.yaml or .devfile.yaml. With this update, the name of the raw devfile does not prevent a successful workspace startup.

Before this update, downloading a project zip file from an external devfile registry failed with an "x509: certificate signed by unknown authority" error. With this update, the project-clone init container reads any .crt or .pem files stored in /public-certs. These certificates are added to the HTTP client used for preparing zip-based projects in a DevWorkspace and allow you to download project zips from default-untrusted sources by e.g. auto-mounting certificates to /public-certs in the container.

Before this update, there were failures in route creation. With this update, the handling of routing in the DevWorkspace operator is improved.

Before this update, granting extra permissions to the Bitbucket OAuth application broke the workspace startup flow. With this update, the issue is fixed.

Before this update, it was not possible to start workspaces based on Devfiles that did not contain metadata. With this update, devfiles without .metadata.name are considered valid. This is consistent with the specification.

Before this update, OpenShift Dev Spaces was missing factory URL parameters after successful OAuth authentication. This resulted in the workspace not starting. With this update, the issue is fixed.

Before this update, GitLab OAuth tokens expired after 2 hours and were not refreshed after a workspace restart. With this update, the issue is fixed.

Before this update, the ephemeral mode was used for the 'Restart with default devfile' functionality. When restarted, any changes in the workspace were lost. With this update, restarting the workspace with the default devfile does not erase changes you made previously.
