    GitLab announced in Version 15.7 the new beta feature for the VS Code Web IDE. I tried to test it, but without success.

    Maybe someone in the community tried it with success?

    @andreas I managed to get this to work but you have enable the feature using the rails console and not by editing config.yml .

    @girish I already read about that in the GitLab KB, but I don't know how to access the rails console.

    Maybe something to wait better until it's out of beta?

    @andreas With the warning that this is a beta as mentioned in GitLab page..

    You have to run Feature.enable(:vscode_web_ide) in the rails console. To do this, in GitLab's Web terminal

    root@5099522c-893e-4254-ab8e-9ec83fc131d0:~/gitlab# sudo -u git bundle exec rails c -e production
    `/home/git` is not writable.
    Bundler will use `/tmp/bundler20230113-1025-a75owg1025' as your home directory temporarily.

    => true
    

    Not sure if GitLab restart is needed, but I restarted GitLab. Then, pressing "." in the file viewer listing opens up vscode.

    @girish That's cool, thanks for providing the instructions. It's working.
    To confirm, a restart is not needed, I tried it without.

    Maybe it would be helpful to add the command to start GitLab rails for feature enabling to the Cloudron GitLab help page.

    Before opening the thread, I only pasted the command Feature.enable(:vscode_web_ide) into the terminal and got a bash error.

    @MooCloud_Matt What do you mean without a file sync?

    I already tested to edit files in the Web IDE and committing it back to the repository. That works for me. Only the diff comparison is not working on my side.

    That front end code and the code server ware out of sync.
    So any file change on the front end was not updated un till a commit was done.

    For example if you have a Vue app, vite will not update your dev build untill you didn't commit
