Genie Builder plugin is not working for Remote SSH - connected server about geniebuilder_geniecloud_issues

Hi all,

I am also seeing this same issue after trying to use the non-code editor on a linux server that I remote into via SSH. Do you know if there is a solution to this issue?

Thanks!

I am seeing this problem too when trying to use the no-code editor via the "Remote - SSH" extension. All I get in the console window is several messages like this:

[ Info: 2023-02-13 16:44:12 GET /_devtools_/pages?CHANNEL__=MXFNRRLFXGVHUFZPABHKQSFWKXOKBUWI 200

When running locally I do see the no-code editor and I see a lot more GET messages in the console.

It seems like maybe some port is not being forwarded automatically, but I'm not sure how to test/troubleshoot that.

Hi - sorry for the lack of feedback on this one. Most likely this is caused by the fact that we expect the no-code editor to run on localhost. We could add some config to allow adding the host. I'm not familiar with how the VSCode SSH plugin works though - how do you access/forward the port from the server?

The VSCode Remote SSH extension establishes an SSH connection to a remote host and then presents the files and folders of that host's filesystem as if it were local. Running a "terminal" opens up a command line terminal inside VSCode that is actually on the remote host. Running a Julia REPL from the Julis extension will run a Julia REPL session on the remote host. VSCode can forward ports from localhost to the remote host. These forwardings can be setup explicitly, but sometimes they happen automatically (not sure what triggers the automatic forwarding). The Remote SSH extension really makes interactively working on remote servers very convenient. For example, plots from plotting in the remote "active" (i.e. VSCode-aware) Julia REPL show up in the VSCode plot pane. FWIW, the Julia extension can be loaded locally, but for use with Remote SSH the Julia extension gets installed on the remote system. For genie-builder, I would imagine that the GB extension would get loaded on the remote and run on the remote (which it would consider to be "localhost") and then any ports that it listens on would have to (somehow) be forwarded from the local system. The (other) tricky part might be if there are backwards connection to the client side, but I don't think that's required. Not sure if this answers your question exactly, but hopefully it provides some additional context.
