FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE-p14 install script throws errors

[irgipaulius]

• Web Browser: not applicable
• Local OS: not applicable
• Remote OS: FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE-p14. (a jail inside a FreeNas server)
• Remote Architecture: x86
• code-server --version: 3.7.2 a0db672

---

Problem with: installation script

---

## How to replicate

1. create a new jail in FreeNas. SSH into it with sudo permissions
2. pkg upgrade
3. curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
   3.1. it finishes successfully, everything seems fine
4. curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
   4.1 installs code-server successfully
   4.2 but it spews discouraging errors
   4.3 and does not print out info on how to run and start using code-server after it's finished, like it's supposed to do according to the documentation.

Logs go into what seems like an endless loop of these 12 error lines over and over again:

Done in 0.07s.

And upon scrolling a bit higher, you can see this error:

Consequences

It does not influence my accessibility to the product, but it did influence the experience of the installation process. I panicked that something is wrong with my system and I started debugging until 20 minutes later I had an idea to run code-server --version and it proved that it installed successfully. Wasted time I'm not getting back.

Thank you for reporting. VS Code uses rimraf in their post-install to remove some files from some Node modules although I'm not entirely sure why as it still works without doing that. I'm not sure how rimraf is missing though; it should be in the package.json dependencies. I have sometimes seen dependency downloads time out and instead of erroring yarn/npm seem to just keep chugging along which results in problems later when those dependencies are used (it happens in our CI fairly often). You're able to use code-server though? Including the terminal, extensions, etc? I'll take a look at 3.7.2 and see if I can reproduce.

I don't yet have the possibility of doing that since I did not enable port forwarding on my remote server, lol. I was just able to install as a preparation for when I actually will be home and connect to my FreeNAS machine via WAN. So I guess I Can't answer you now.
