GitHub extension login loop on every page refresh

[nitinkr0411]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.85.1
• OS Version: gitpod/openvscode-server:latest

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Login to Github via One-Time Code
2. Refresh Page
3. GiHub asks for login again

Same Issue when using the GitHub copilot extension. I have tried explicitly passing the user and server data directories but this did not help.

I am using nixOS and the following errors show up every time the client connects or refreshes the window.

[19:02:02] [192.168.18.205][cd4503af][ExtensionHostConnection] Unknown reconnection token (never seen).
File not found: /nix/store/5q757641iaig4lijpip2mmv9nrh5srsh-openvscode-server-1.84.0/out/vsda_bg.wasm
File not found: /nix/store/5q757641iaig4lijpip2mmv9nrh5srsh-openvscode-server-1.84.0/out/vsda.js

I don't know what the last two lines relate to but the first one is strange. I am using the same token to connect every time.

same issue here. on every browser refresh, I get the message "The extension 'GitHub Pull Requests' wants to sign in using GitHub."

Same here, also on NixOS (inside of orbstack)

EDIT: Kept happening regardless of browser. Ended up being a dealbreaker for me. Found this alternative:
