Are there any updates? Currently, all Codespaces plugins for JetBrains products are unavailable, which is really inconvenient and disappointing. If GitHub does not plan to maintain these plugins anymore, it would be fair to announce this to the users, suggesting that they consider changing their environment. |

I think this plugin can be considered dead. Right? |

If the GitHub team no longer wishes to maintain this plugin, why not make its code public? I believe that GitHub, as a company that empowers open-source software, would find the idea of making this plugin open-source quite fitting. |

You might be interested in my last reply to the thread which shows a workaround to the problem. :) https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/78982?sort=top#discussioncomment-8442455 |

GitHub Codespaces still shows the option to open into the JetBrains Gateway - someone has really dropped the ball on this.

Just wondering, do we have anybody from the team who can assist in this? Or we are just waiting for more votes for this question to be seen? |

I really dislike how GitHub as it's owned by Microsoft forces people onto VSCode by doing stuff like this, this isn't the first time nor the only instance. |

Top voted discussion of all time in Codespaces category and still no communication about the status of the plugin for more than a month lol |

Are there any updates on this? If this is not a priority for Microsoft, then maybe the plugin can be open-sourced so the community can step up and help with fixing the problem(s) and make it work again. This has been broken for 3 months now! If there was a way to gain access to the VM/container that hosts the codespace then you could connect with JetBrain's Gateway via the SSH plugin. |

Hi, everyone! Pauline from Gitpod here. 👋🏼 In case you didn't know, Gitpod is already integrated and updated with the latest JetBrains Gateway May be something you'd like to play with as you wait! 🥳 |

JetBrains gateway (Currently in Beta) has limited support for remote IDE's, the most popular for sure but RustRover (my IDE) is not yet supported in Gateway, thus not supported for remote development in any platform either cloud or self-hosted in case others go down the rabbit hole I did from hours of research. |

@dallinwright-optioncrit Thanks for sharing! I will share this internally as feedback. Although it sounds like this is more of a JetBrains "issue", right? Worth passing that to them too, if you can. |

Hey Pauline - Personal opinion here: While I appreciate that there are working alternatives to Codespaces, we really need GitHub to address this rather than pushing orgs to new remote dev. providers I also find it a bit tasteless to attempt to capitalize on this tech support thread to shill competing products; at worst, the next step for this thread's participants is to help define how to leverage SSH tunnels in Gateway to restore the Codespaces connection rather than opting for a new provider |

@github-staff - Will there be a workaround or should we all move to JetBrains Spaces or Gitpod? |

Space contains many features, if you only want self hosted dev containers you can try the new SpacePort solution: https://lp.jetbrains.com/spaceport/ |

From what I observed, it works, but only on Gateway, not directly into your IDE, which is strange. |

I needed to install the codespaces plugin and restart the IDE for it to show up.
|

Well, after restarting the IDEs multiple times, now it works for IntelliJ, WebStorm, GoLand, and Gateway, but it does not seem to work with RustRover (does not find the extension, I guess because of RR is still in Preview), sad :/

Try reinstalling the plugin and restarting your ide, it worked for me that way. |

The GitHub Codespaces plugin for the JetBrains Gateway now supports the latest versions of the Gateway, as well as the latest JetBrains IDEs. We will continue to post planned Codespaces enhancements on the GitHub public roadmap. |

Thank you for updating the plugin. I don't see much in the roadmap for Codespaces and certainly nothing scheduled. When can we expect the actual Codespaces roadmap to be published on the public page? |

Hey @github-staff -- Is there any work to further keep Codespaces up-to-date with JetBrains Gateway? As the below comments call out, you're currently out of sync with JetBrains and it's causing people a lot of headaches. My team and I are running into this now and we're struggling to use Codespaces for half of our client's application because of this incompatibility. Can we track the status of that incompatibility anywhere? |

This plugin is not compatible with the latest version 2024.2. Do you have any timeline for 2024.2 or should we just wait, again? |

We dropped Codespaces because of their lack of active IntelliJ support. You could try to use the workaround I've mentioned a couple of posts before which should technically always work: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/78982#discussioncomment-8442455 |

Not found in Gateway 2024.2 or equivalent IntelliJ versions. |

It looks like maybe there just needs to be a version bump for the plugin to support the latest version (2024.2)? It worked until we upgraded. |

Simply just install "jetbrains toolbox" https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/ install latest version of the Year 2023 |

That is silly. It says it is compatible with version up to 2024.1.7 while we currently have 2024.3. How can you be so far behind? How Gitpod, Amazon Catalyst or Coder can keep up with versions and you are not? Is this part of strategy to move everybody from JetBrains product to VS Code? |

@samus-aran @ettaboyle @github-staff -- Can we mark this as unanswered? There continues to be incompatibility with Jetbrains and I'm sure many of us would like to track the issue here since this thread has a good deal of information in it and this is a recurring issue. @samus-aran maybe you can update the title of the discussion so it's more generic? Thanks folks! |

Installing old 2023.2.4 version of gateway via jetbrains toolbox works. Not great, but at least it works. Please sort this out jetbrains, dev-containers and code spaces are really gaining popularity, and I'd like to be able to share a low friction onboarding with fellow devs. I think it's important that new versions of gateway are not released before the key plugins are available to support them. It's not a good experience getting an upgrade that disables key plugins like codespaces. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/20060-github-codespaces/versions/stable/400277

I think it's more a GitHub issue than JetBrains, the Codespace plugin is made by GitHub and they just never released a newer version of the intellij codespace plugin, see the versions here: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/20060-github-codespaces/versions/stable/400277 So GitHub needs to "sort this out" not JetBrains? |

Definitely this is on GitHub side. They are the owner of this plugin. That is why they seem like wanting to push people more towards VS Code. Which is not the best practice. |

Did the GitHub Codespaces plugin disappeared from JetBrains plugin repository? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-

It did. I guess jetbrains had enough of this and removed it from their marketplace. Direct links to old versions of the plugin don't work anymore either. It further erodes the little faith I have in GitHub, after the shitshow that is their non-existant roadmap updates/communication and removing practically everything that isn't AI now. |

@stefanschulte It seems everyone at GitHub is busy catching up on the AI dev tools and forgot that people still build software using existing tools. @github-staff Can I ask for a comment? |

and others
I feel like GitHub should do a better job at fixing their plugin in time. People can't use their services and some of them are actually paying customers which is unacceptable.
We've spend a while looking into workarounds that can help us use CodeSpaces.
Here is what seems to be working for us so far:
Add your SSH key to Github (i.e.
~/.ssh/id_ed25519)Download and install gh cli
gh auth loginto AuthenticateStart a CodeSpace
Run
gh codespace ssh --config(might need to re-authenticate to elevate permission levels, but that will be automatic so just follow the seps)The above command will give you an output similar to this (you can get the id via
gh codespace list):
