- When starting a workspace, shell out to the Coder binary instead of making an API call. This reduces drift between what the plugin does and the CLI does.
- Increase workspace polling to one second on the workspace list view, to pick up changes made via the CLI faster. The recent connections view remains unchanged at five seconds.
- Support an "owner" parameter when launching an IDE from the dashboard. This makes it possible to reliably connect to the right workspace in the case where multiple users are using the same workspace name and the workspace filter is configured to show multiple users' workspaces. This requires an updated Gateway module that includes the new "owner" parameter.
-
Add the ability to customize the workspace query filter used in the workspaces table view. For example, you can use this to view workspaces other than your own by changing the filter or making it blank (useful mainly for admins). Please note that currently, if many workspaces are being fetched this could result in long configuration times as the plugin will make queries for each workspace that is not running to find its agents (running workspaces already include agents in the initial workspaces query) and add them individually to the SSH config. In the future, we would like to use a wildcard host name to work around this issue.
Additionally, be aware that the recents view is using the same query filter. This means if you connect to a workspace, then change the filter such that the workspace is excluded, you could cause the workspace to be deleted from the recent connections even if the workspace still exists in actuality, as it would no longer show up in the query which the plugin takes as its cue to delete the connection.
-
Add owner column to connections view table.
-
Add agent name to the recent connections view.
- Add support for latest 2024.3 EAP.
- When a proxy command argument (such as the URL) contains
?and&, escape it in the SSH config by using double quotes, as these characters have special meanings in shells.
- When the
CODER_URLenvironment variable is set but you connect to a different URL in Gateway, force the Coder CLI used in the SSH proxy command to use the current URL instead ofCODER_URL. This fixes connection issues such as "failed to retrieve IDEs". To aply this fix, you must add the connection again through the "Connect to Coder" flow or by using the dashboard link (the recent connections do not reconfigure SSH).
- The "Recents" view has been updated to have a new flow. Before, there were separate controls for managing the workspace and then you could click a link to launch a project (clicking a link would also start a stopped workspace automatically). Now, there are no workspace controls, just links which start the workspace automatically when needed. The links are enabled when the workspace is STOPPED, CANCELED, FAILED, STARTING, RUNNING. These states represent valid times to start a workspace and connect, or to simply connect to a running one or one that's already starting. We also use a spinner icon when workspaces are in a transition state (STARTING, CANCELING, DELETING, STOPPING) to give context for why a link might be disabled or a connection might take longer than usual to establish.
- Previously, the plugin would try to respawn the IDE if we fail to get a join link after five seconds. However, it seems sometimes we do not get a join link that quickly. Now the plugin will wait indefinitely for a join link as long as the process is still alive. If the process never comes alive after 30 seconds or it dies after coming alive, the plugin will attempt to respawn the IDE.
- Extra logging around the IDE spawn to help debugging.
- Add setting to enable logging connection diagnostics from the Coder CLI for debugging connectivity issues.
- When using a recent workspace connection, check if there is an update to the IDE and prompt to upgrade if an upgrade exists.
- On Windows, expand the home directory when paths use
/separators (for example~/foo/baror$HOME/foo/bar). This results in something likec:\users\coder/foo/bar, but Windows appears to be fine with the mixed separators. As before, you can still use\separators (for example~\foo\baror$HOME\foo\bar.
- Allow connecting when the agent state is "connected" but the lifecycle state is "created". This may resolve issues when trying to connect to an updated workspace where the agent has restarted but lifecycle scripts have not been ran again.
- Set
--usage-appon the proxy command if the Coder CLI supports it (>=2.13.0). To make use of this, you must add the connection again through the "Connect to Coder" flow or by using the dashboard link (the recents connections do not reconfigure SSH).
- Add support for latest Gateway 242.* EAP.
- The version column now displays "Up to date" or "Outdated" instead of duplicating the status column.
- Polling and workspace action buttons when running from File > Remote Development within a local IDE.
- Multiple clients being launched when a backend was already running.
- Automatically restart and reconnect to the IDE backend when it disappears.
- All recent connections show their status now, not just the first.
- Default URL setting was showing the help text for the setup command instead of its own description.
- Exception when there is no default or last used URL.
- Sort IDEs by version (latest first).
- Recent connections window will try to recover after encountering an error. There is still a known issue where if a token expires there is no way to enter a new one except to go back through the "Connect to Coder" flow.
- Header command ignores stderr and does not error if nothing is output. It will still error if any blank lines are output.
- Remove "from jetbrains.com" from the download text since the download source can be configured.
- If using a certificate and key, it is assumed that token authentication is not required, all token prompts are skipped, and the token header is not sent.
- Recent connections to deleted workspaces are automatically deleted.
- Display workspace name instead of the generated host name in the recents window.
- Add deployment URL, IDE product, and build to the recents window.
- Display status and error in the recents window under the workspace name instead of hiding them in tooltips.
- Truncate the path in the recents window if it is too long to prevent needing to scroll to press the workspace actions.
- If there is no default URL, coder.example.com will no longer be used. The field will just be blank, to remove the need to first delete the example URL.
- New setting for a setup command that will run in the directory of the IDE before connecting to it. By default if this command fails the plugin will display the command's exit code and output then abort the connection, but there is an additional setting to ignore failures.
- New setting for extra SSH options. This is arbitrary text and is not validated in any way. If this setting is left empty, the environment variable CODER_SSH_CONFIG_OPTIONS will be used if set.
- New setting for the default URL. If this setting is left empty, the environment variable CODER_URL will be used. If CODER_URL is also empty, the URL in the global CLI config directory will be used, if it exists.
- If IDE details or the folder are missing from a Gateway link, the plugin will now show the IDE selection screen to allow filling in these details.
- Fix matching on the wrong workspace/agent name. If a Gateway link was failing, this could be why.
- Make errors when starting/stopping/updating a workspace visible.
- Disable autostarting workspaces by default on macOS to prevent an issue where it wakes periodically and keeps the workspace on. This can be toggled via the "Disable autostart" setting.
- CLI configuration is now reported in the progress indicator. Before it happened in the background so it made the "Select IDE and project" button appear to hang for a short time while it completed.
- Prevent environment variables being expanded too early in the header
command. This will make header commands like
auth --url=$CODER_URLwork. - Stop workspaces before updating them. This is necessary in some cases where the update changes parameters and the old template needs to be stopped with the existing parameter values first or where the template author was not diligent about making sure the agent gets restarted with the new ID and token when doing two build starts in a row.
- Errors from API requests are now read and reported rather than only reporting the HTTP status code.
- Data and binary directories are expanded so things like
~can be used now.
- Plugin will now use proxy authorization settings.
- Listing IDEs when using the plugin from the File > Remote Development option within a local IDE should now work.
- Recent connections are now preserved.

CODER_HEADER_COMMANDenvironment variable when executing the CLI with the setting value.
- Configuration options for mTLS.
- Configuration options for adding a CA cert to the trust store and an alternate hostname.
- Agent ID can be used in place of the name when using the Gateway link. If both are present the name will be ignored.
- Configuring SSH will include all agents even on workspaces that are off.
- Add a setting for a command to run to get headers that will be set on all requests to the Coder deployment.
