how to make the "Error loading webview: Service Workers are not enabled in browser. Webviews will not work." not show again

[shangguandong1996]

Hi, every one
when I plot some thing in Vscode each time, there are always appear the Error loading webview: Service Workers are not enabled in browser. Webviews will not work.

I have seen some issue about it, but I do not want to fix it, I just want this error do not appear again.
Can someone give me some adivce?

Best wishes

The only way to prevent the error from appearing is to fix the error. It's most likely caused by using an insecure context so using HTTPS would fix it (even a self-signed certificate will work which code-server can generate for you).

But I find a werid things that it seems Firefox will not show the error again when I set a self-signed certificate while chrome still show……

Oh hmmm yeah it looks like Chrome now requires a valid certificate before it will enable service workers. That's unfortunate. I suppose that means the only way to fix Chrome is to get a valid certificate (from Let's Encrypt for example) or use --link to proxy through our cloud (in which case we provide the certificate).
