Google cloud shell .customize_environment not working

Question

I'm trying to install code-server at the cloud shell boot, so, I created the file .customize_environment

nano $HOME/.customize_environment

and the content is:

echo "installing code server..."
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
echo "code-server installed"

when the cloud shell starts it still prints the default message

Welcome to Cloud Shell! Type "help" to get started.
Your Cloud Platform project in this session is set to

rather than installing code server..., and doesn't install code-server.
