Expected

'/usr/local/Cellar/code-server/3.12.0/libexec/lib/coder-cloud-agent' didn't installed using brew install code-server.

Actual

So, I manually installed 'coder-cloud-agent' using curl -fsSL "https://github.com/cdr/cloud-agent/releases/latest/download/cloud-agent-darwin-amd64" -o ./lib/coder-cloud-agent on '/usr/local/Cellar/code-server/3.12.0/libexec', and
chmod +x lib/coder-cloud-agent. Then, solved.

I got this exact same error after upgrading to 3.12.0 using brew.

Thank you @danna2019 for opening this and posting the solution for how you fixed it!

[jsjoeio]

Any ideas? @code-asher @TeffenEllis

[code-asher]

We download this as part of the post-install: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/92d0d28dd7cea42f808e060b01208aa6939e8646/ci/build/npm-postinstall.sh#L60 When we build the release we add `postinstall` to the `package.json` and copy the install script: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/92d0d28dd7cea42f808e060b01208aa6939e8646/ci/build/build-release.sh#L52-L58 One recent change is the addition of `bash` (It used to just be `./postinstall.sh` without `bash`). Actually I forgot that our npm package postinstall is written to run with just `sh` (in case bash is not installed) so this should probably be `sh postinstall.sh`. Could the `bash` addition here be the problem? Is this ran when a user runs `brew install` or is it ran when it is added to Brew?

[code-asher]

I wonder if other parts from the postinstall are missing. For example in vendor/modules/code-oss-dev the following should exist:

• node_modules.asar
• extensions/node_modules

[jsjoeio]

Could the bash addition here be the problem? Is this ran when a user
runs brew install or is it ran when it is added to Brew?

Good question. I'll run brew uninstall code-server then reinstall with brew install code-server and paste the logs here

Dang, looks like it was installed from cache

[jsjoeio]

Find and delete cache

find /Users/jp/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/ -maxdepth 1 -name "*code-server*" -print

then rm <path>.

then install with brew install code-server

Well nevermind...that doesn't tell us anything.

If you want a formula for code-server, look at /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/code-server.rb.

I seem it doesn't have any postinstall something.
