Issue using nixos-vscode-server after 22.05 upgrade

I’m getting an error attempting to use nixos-vscode-server in my home-manager configuration after upgrading to 22.05 (GitHub issue: Error: `builder for '...' failed to produce output path for output 'out' at '...'` · Issue #30 · nix-community/nixos-vscode-server · GitHub):

$ home-manager switch
...

error: 1 dependencies of derivation '/nix/store/sxb36xzkgj7zp2ng8g3k7l9szxw108nl-home-manager-generation.drv' failed to build

The exact same config worked fine previously.

Has anyone encountered this before? Or have any idea how to fix it?

Lots of pieces of VSCode are broken as well. For example, trying to open the integrated terminal fails:

The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (The module '/home/skainswo/.vscode-server/bin/30d9c6cd9483b2cc586687151bcbcd635f373630/node_modules/node-pty/build/Release/pty.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 93. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 83. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).).

I wrote my own vscode patcher but still searching for better solution, this kind of works for some times if you need it https://github.com/shikanime/shikanime/blob/34319401d7a613a82cc59f7dc3f8fcd37b3ab0bb/modules/remote/vscode.nix. But I’m open for any other better solutions.

I’ve found that nixos-vscode-server had improved a lot recently, and I’m no longer seeing these issues. So I’ve gone back to that for now.

Cool to see more tools being built in this direction though!
