## Known Issues
|
|
|
|
### Search issue
|
|
|
|
There is a known issue with search not working on Android because it's missing `bin/rg`. To fix:
|
|
|
|
1. Install `ripgrep` with `pkg`
|
|
```sh
|
|
pkg install ripgrep
|
|
```
|
|
2. Make a soft link using `ln -s`
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# run this command inside the code-server directory
|
|
ln -s $PREFIX/bin/rg ./lib/vscode/node_modules/vscode-ripgrep/bin/rg
|
|
```
