• I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: Firefox
• Local OS: Windows
• Remote OS: Ubuntu
• Remote Architecture: amd64
• code-server --version: 4.1.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. open code server
2. install copilot
3. auth with github

Expected

4.0.2.mp4

This is the video of code-server v4.0.2

Old auth url works fine by extracting the state, and put it into

https://vscode-auth.github.com/authorize/?callbackUri=vscode://vscode.github-authentication/did-authenticate&scope=repo&state=${state}&responseType=code

as stated in #4363

Actual

New version of auth page comes up, github copilot can't find token, assuming I don't have access to github copilot.

Logs

No response

Screenshot/Video

4.1.0.mp4

Does this issue happen in VS Code?

• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

• I am using HTTPS.

Notes

It looks like new version contain new url for authing with github. I would prefer to use old auth url (4.0.2) since it works fine with github copilot and others.

I think due to licensing reasons, Copilot cannot be used with code-server. I can't find it on Open VSX.

Is there another extension that I can use to reproduce this?

Actually it can. And a lot of people including me can make it work, by installing the extension manually (on code-server v4.0.2). Refer to #4363. You can always download copilot from the microsoft marketplace and install it manually.

Can't we make an option for code-server to use old auth url instead of the new one ?

code-server 4.2.0 use a new kind of auth (8 alphanumeric). copilot can auth fine, with the new code-server 4.2.0.
