[v2] Java Run and Debug doesn't work

[wjayesh]

• code-server version: 1.38.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04.3, Docker(running locally)

Description

• Run and Debug commands, that are available after right-clicking on a file, do not work. On clicking on any of these, an "Activating Extensions" message appears on the status bar which disappears in a while. There is no further activity.

• Running tests through Java Test Runner extension works and shows a report but Debug Test shows similar behavior as Run and Debug.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a container with command sudo docker run -t -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 -v "LOCAL_PATH:/root/project" codercom/code-server:v2
2. Open localhost:8080 on your browser
3. Create a terminal from the drop down menu "Terminal"
4. Install JDK with the command sudo apt install default-jdk
5. Install Java Extension Pack through the Extensions option in the sidebar.
6. Git clone a sample java project with tests.
7. Use "Open Folder" to open the cloned directory.

Hi WJayesh,
I have same problems like you and that's why decided to work with VSCode desktop application via SSH.
The only thing that I can help you is about 3rd problem. You need to set Default Shell to bash via "ctrl + shift + p -> Select Default Shell -> bash" command. Then you can launch a new terminal.

Thanks for the suggestion @harunozceyhan
Also, the terminal problem is resolved 👍

@sr229 @code-asher Any updates on this? Thanks

Java processes run and and can be debugged provided that bash is selected as a default shell in VS Code. This could be preset in the Docker image of the code-server by exposing an environment variable during the image build:

ENV SHELL /bin/bash

@emil-simeonov-se Thanks for the fix!

@wjayesh We'll have a new v2 image pushed once https://travis-ci.com/cdr/code-server/jobs/248856470 completes so give that a shot when you have some time and let me know if it doesn't fix the problem for you (it seems to fix it for me).

Thanks @code-asher @emil-simeonov-se . I will take a look and update this comment to confirm 👍
