VS Code keeps disconnecting if the client device sleeps

[matifali]

Hi Team! When using Cursor/VSCode desktop, whenever we close and reopen laptop even for a few seconds, we see a popup Cannot reconnect. Please reload the window. I was wondering if this is expected behavior and if you might be aware of some settings that would make VSCode reconnect more smoothly? I tried changing connect timeout and max reconnection attempts so far but didn't see a difference.

VSCode connection often disconnects even for a slight network issue or if the device sleeps. I am unsure if this is caused by how VSCode handles remote connections as coder ssh <workspace> survives device sleep.

It is possible that #420 may have solved this issue. @bcpeinhardt said he's going to try to see if he can repro and confirm if this change fixes things.

@bpmct curious why this is marked as blocked?

[bcpeinhardt]

Leaving as todo in Bugs Board because it doesn't seem to have a Blocked status available.

@matifali told me we are are unable to reproduce and waiting on a user. If we are able to repro, this feel pretty important so don't mean to arbitrarily "block" anything

[bcpeinhardt]

After attempting and failing to reproduce, I'm moving it back to blocked (where it was in the first place) and reaching back out to the customer.

We are also seeing this problem constantly.
Usually it happens when the device goes to sleep and then wakes up and you try to continue working.
This does not happen with web based VSCode at all, that can immediately reconnect.

I confirm I have the same issue for the past weeks, still going on on 1.5.0. Have to reload the window whenever I leave my computer 5 minutes.
