Error loading webview with a shared Virtualbox VM folder

[nipatriknilsson]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: No, I can't find a native (built-in) webview to test with

• VS Code Version: 1.90.2, 1.91.0
• OS Version: Linux x64 6.8.11-amd64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. In Virtualbox VM (host), create a shared folder vboxmanage sharedfolder add "Kali Linux #ide-code" --name "config" --auto-mount-point="/home/user/.config/Code" --hostpath="/home/user/Documents/sessions/code/ide/config_code" --automount
2. In the VM: sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=user,gid=user,rw,remount "config" "/home/user/.config/Code"
3. sudo chmod 700 "/home/user/.config/Code"

When I run an extension with Webview I get the error: Error loading webview: Error: Could not register service worker: AbortError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker for scope [...] The Service Worker system has shutdown.

Work-around:

1. Mount the config directory using another name: vboxmanage sharedfolder add "Kali Linux #ide-code" --name "config" --auto-mount-point="/home/user/.config/Code_remote" --hostpath="/home/user/Documents/sessions/code/ide/config_code" --automount
2. In the VM: mkdir -p /home/user/.config/Code
3. sudo chmod 700 /home/user/.config/Code
4. rsync -ac --delete-before /home/user/.config/Code_remote/ /home/user/.config/Code/
5. code --password-store=basic --no-sandbox --wait /home/user/Projects/text-tree-view
6. rsync -ac --delete-before /home/user/.config/Code/ /home/user/.config/Code_remote/

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.91.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

I tested with 1.91.0 and the issue is still there.
