Open VSX does not collect any +data about you or your activities on the platform. -WARNING: -Interactive Web Terminals for the Web IDE is currently in [Beta](../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#beta). -GitLab.com shared runners [do not yet support Interactive Web Terminals](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/24674), -so you must use your own private runner to make use of this feature. +However, the privacy and data collection practices of extensions available on Open VSX can vary. +Some extensions might collect data to provide personalized recommendations or to improve the functionality. +Other extensions might collect data for analytics or advertising purposes. -[Interactive Web Terminals](../../../ci/interactive_web_terminal/index.md) -give the project [Maintainers](../../permissions.md#project-members-permissions) -user access to a terminal to interact with the runner directly from -GitLab, including through the Web IDE. +To protect your privacy and data: -### Runner configuration +- Carefully review the permissions requested by an extension before you install the extension. +- Keep your extensions up to date to ensure that any security or privacy vulnerabilities are addressed promptly. -Some things must be configured in the runner for the interactive web terminal -to work: +## Interactive web terminals for the Web IDE (Beta) -- The runner needs to have - [`[session_server]` configured properly](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-session_server-section). - This section requires at least a `session_timeout` value (which defaults to 1800 - seconds) and a `listen_address` value. If `advertise_address` is not defined, `listen_address` is used. -- If you are using a reverse proxy with your GitLab instance, web terminals must be - [enabled](../../../administration/integration/terminal.md#enabling-and-disabling-terminal-support). +When you set up a remote development server in the Web IDE, you can use interactive web terminals to: -If you have the terminal open and the job has finished with its tasks, the -terminal blocks the job from finishing for the duration configured in -[`[session_server].session_timeout`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-session_server-section) -until you close the terminal window. - -NOTE: -Not all executors are -[supported](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/#compatibility-chart). -The [File Sync](#file-syncing-to-web-terminal) feature is supported on Kubernetes runners only. - -### Web IDE configuration file - -To enable the Web IDE terminals you must create the file -`.gitlab/.gitlab-webide.yml` inside the repository's root. This -file is fairly similar to the [`.gitlab-ci.yml` file](../../../ci/yaml/index.md) -syntax but with some restrictions: - -- No global blocks (such as `before_script` or `after_script`) can be defined. -- Only one job named `terminal` can be added to this file. -- Only the keywords `image`, `services`, `tags`, `before_script`, `script`, and - `variables` are allowed to be used to configure the job. -- To connect to the interactive terminal, the `terminal` job must be still alive - and running, otherwise the terminal cannot connect to the job's session. - By default the `script` keyword has the value `sleep 60` to prevent - the job from ending and giving the Web IDE enough time to connect. This means - that, if you override the default `script` value, you have to add a command - which would keep the job running, like `sleep`. - -For example, with this configuration file: - -```yaml -terminal: - # This can be any image that has the necessary runtime environment for your project. - image: node:10-alpine - before_script: - - apk update - script: sleep 60 - variables: - RAILS_ENV: "test" - NODE_ENV: "test" -``` - -After the terminal starts, the console is displayed and you can access -the project repository files. - -When you use the `image` keyword, a container with the specified image is created. -If you use the [shell executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/shell.html) -or the [SSH executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/ssh.html), `image` has no effect. - -The terminal job is branch dependent. The configuration file used to trigger -and configure the terminal is the one in the selected branch of the Web IDE. -If no configuration file exists in a branch, an error message is displayed. - -### Running interactive terminals in the Web IDE - -If Interactive Terminals are available for the current user, the **Terminal** button is visible in the right sidebar of the Web IDE. Select this button to open -or close the terminal tab. - -After opening, the tab shows the **Start Web Terminal** button. This button may -be disabled if the environment is not configured correctly. If so, a status -message describes the issue. Here are some reasons why **Start Web Terminal** -may be disabled: - -- `.gitlab/.gitlab-webide.yml` does not exist or is set up incorrectly. -- No active private runners are available for the project. - -If active, selecting the **Start Web Terminal** button loads the terminal view -and start connecting to the runner's terminal. At any time, the **Terminal** tab -can be closed and reopened and the state of the terminal is not affected. - -When the terminal is started and is successfully connected to the runner, then the -runner's shell prompt appears in the terminal. From here, you can enter -commands executed in the runner's environment. This is similar -to running commands in a local terminal or through SSH. - -While the terminal is running, it can be stopped by selecting **Stop Terminal**. -This disconnects the terminal and stops the runner's terminal job. From here, -select **Restart Terminal** to start a new terminal session. - -### File syncing to web terminal - -> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/5276) in GitLab 12.0. -> - [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/211686) from GitLab Ultimate to GitLab Free in 13.1. - -File changes in the Web IDE can be synced to a running web terminal. -This enables users to test their code changes in a preconfigured terminal -environment. - -NOTE: -Only file changes in the Web IDE are synced to the terminal. -Changes made in the terminal are **not** synced to the Web IDE. -This feature is only available for Kubernetes runners. - -To enable file syncing to the web terminal, the `.gitlab/.gitlab-webide.yml` -file needs to have a `webide-file-sync` service configured. Here is an example -configuration for a Node JS project which uses this service: - -```yaml -terminal: - # This can be any image that has the necessary runtime environment for your project. - image: - name: node:10-alpine - services: - - name: registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/webide-file-sync:latest - alias: webide-file-sync - entrypoint: ["/bin/sh"] - command: ["-c", "sleep 5 && ./webide-file-sync -project-dir $CI_PROJECT_DIR"] - ports: - # The `webide-file-sync` executable defaults to port 3000. - - number: 3000 -``` - -- The `webide-file-sync` executable must start **after** the project - directory is available. This is why we must add `sleep 5` to the `command`. - See [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/webide-file-sync/-/issues/7) for - more information. -- `$CI_PROJECT_DIR` is a - [predefined CI/CD variable](../../../ci/variables/predefined_variables.md) - for GitLab Runners. This is where your project's repository resides. - -After you have configured the web terminal for file syncing, then when the web -terminal is started, a **Terminal** status is visible in the status bar. - -![Web IDE Client Side Evaluation](img/terminal_status.png) - -Changes made to your files via the Web IDE sync to the running terminal -when: - -- <kbd>Control</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> (or <kbd>Command</kbd> + <kbd>S</kbd> on Mac) - is pressed while editing a file. -- You select any area outside the file editor after editing a file. -- A file or folder is created, deleted, or renamed. - -## Known issues - -The Web IDE has a few limitations: - -- Interactive Terminals is in a beta phase and continues to be improved in upcoming releases. In the meantime, the user is limited to having only one - active terminal at a time. -- LFS files can be rendered and displayed but they cannot be updated and committed using the Web IDE. If an LFS file is modified and pushed to the repository, the LFS pointer in the repository is overwritten with the modified LFS file content. +- Access a remote shell on the server. +- Interact with the server's file system and execute commands remotely. -## Troubleshooting - -### Web terminals +You cannot use interactive web terminals to interact with a runner. +However, you can use a terminal to install dependencies and compile and debug code. -- If the terminal's text is gray and unresponsive, then the terminal has stopped - and it can no longer be used. A stopped terminal can be restarted by selecting - **Restart Terminal**. -- If the terminal displays **Connection Failure**, then the terminal could not - connect to the runner. Try to stop and restart the terminal. If the - problem persists, double check your runner configuration. +For more information about configuring a workspace that supports interactive web terminals, see [remote development](../remote_development/index.md). |
