Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?

  • I am using a secure context.

Notes

I believe for vscode desktop, closing the editor will close all the "tasks" launched by vscode, but that doesn't appear to be the case for code-server. This applies to all the 3rd party extensions, and it is pretty bad because it basically leaks resources.

Also for certain applications that want to make sure there is only one process running at all time, and failure to clean up the resources actually impacts the functionalities.
