Research direction

The report names no source files or tests; start by reproducing the Python debugging steps in Chrome on code-server 4.98, using both the F5 key and Run→Debug menu. Compare the installed Python extensions and debugger behavior with code-server 4.8.3 and GitHub Codespaces, then verify that starting a breakpoint session works.

Description

bug triage

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

Web Browser: Chrome
Local OS: Win10
Remote OS: CentOS
Remote Architecture: amd64
code-server --version: 4.98

Steps to Reproduce

Open a python file , toggle a breakpoint
press F5, nothing happen
Choose Run->Debug in the menu, still not working
check exentesion, Python, Python debugger from ms-python are installed.
check if there are any error messages in the extensions, not found

Btw, I am using code-server under a nignx service. At first I though it was the key-mapping problem, but running from menu selection is not working too, so it does not seem to be this problem.

If I change to use another python debugger (Kylin), it is working.

Expected

debugger should start to run

Actual

nothing happen, debugger not started

Does this bug reproduce in native VS Code?

NO, not even in older version of code-server, for example 4.8.3 is ok.

Yes, this is also broken in GitHub Codespaces

Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?

I am using a secure context.
