I've been having an issue with copilot today and yesterday. It works fine after launching Visual Studio Code. However, after a few minutes, it stops giving me suggestions. As far as I can tell, I'm still connected to copilot.

If I close and re-start visual studio code, it works again for a few minutes then stops again. Rinse and repeat over and over again.

Thanks

p.s. EDIT: It is the next day and it won't work at all even after re-start.

My problem seemed to have been solved. I received an email response from Support. It said..

I believe we had some issues at the end of last week. Could you let me know if it's working again now?

I'm not ready to say it is completely working, because I've only spent a few minutes in VSCode, but upon first glance, my problems seem to be fixed by whatever they did on their end. EDIT:: I'm fairly certain it is working for me again 100%.

I have the same problem. Maybe there is a problem with the last update?
Edit: Also the copilot log output stops.

Copilot stopped working completely. Re-starts no longer help. I've logged out and back in to my github account. I've disabled and re-enabled the extension. Nothing has worked to this point.

You can submit a bug report. They can assist you further.

jge162 Jan 27, 2023

Unfortunately, that did not help. I also uninstalled copilot and re-installed it. It worked for about 3 minutes then stopped.

Your copilot sounds bugged. I recommend you do bug report.

Thanks. I submitted one. I will report back here if I get a response.

asolux Jan 27, 2023

For me too, Copilot no longer works on VS Code. Lastly I deleted the "workspaceStorage". Didn't help either.
After each window refresh, Copilot works for a few minutes and then shuts down.
I will also send a bug report.

jge162 Jan 27, 2023

Glad to have helped. Best to you both @anim8rDev @asolux

Those of you having this issue. Are you developing with Svelte by any chance? I need to look at this further. But when Copilot breaks for .svelte files, it may (need to test more) still be working with .js files..

Have you check the integrations of your copilot? Maybe look at the GitHub account website side of things. Check copilot setting there.

anim8rDev Jan 28, 2023
Author

I'm not sure how to check the integrations of Copilot. Where can I find that? In my Github acct under Copilot there is nothing really to change other than allowing it to look at public code and use my code.

jge162 Jan 28, 2023

Correct. Try going between allow and block see if that helps.

malcolmmurdock Jan 28, 2023

I'm not developing in svelte but still have the issue. Vue, Nuxt, Node, and Python for me. 🫤

jobo5432 Jan 29, 2023

Dart/Flutter here, but that includes java and/or kotlin, html, yml, etc... It's just not working.

Unrecognized language. C++, t.getfunction, it doesn’t understand syntax. Hm

I also have this problem. Every time i open the vscode after a while i get this error from copilot's extention:
GitHub Copilot could not connect to server. Extension activation failed: "connect ECONNREFUSED 0.0.0.0:443"
i tried restarting vscode, restarting my pc, changing network, dns, reinstalling the github copilot and copilot labs extention.
nothing worked.

Good idea with the nightly build. This extension seems to work. I will test it further tomorrow.

For what it's worth... I uninstalled the Copilot extension and installed the Copilot Nightly. So far, so good with rendered suggestions.

Hi everyone! For the folks who have been getting Error: Unrecognized language: errors, we are looking into them!

As a workaround for now, using Copilot nightly should work, or reverting to version 1.69.0 of the stable extension.

I'll loop back in once there are updates on that bug. So sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience 🙂

请问历史版本怎么获取？

kimadeline Feb 7, 2023

Hi again! Quick update: The issue was caused by an experiment we were running, the experiment has been stopped for now, and we're working on fixing the issue that caused the error in the first place. Any version of Copilot (stable or nightly) should work.

@RobotKT If I understood correctly you're asking how to download an older version of the extension?

In order to do that, open the "Extensions" view, and select "Install Another Version..." in the settings cogwheel for the extension:

A dropdown should appear with a list of versions published on the Marketplace:

I'm having similar issues.

I estimate I've been using it for 3 weeks now on the 60 day trial.

Debian 11 64 bit ... Visual Studio Code.
GitHub Copilot Extension Released 4/3/2023, 13:16:34

[edit] -- also installed GitHub Copilot for Nightly and that does not solve the issue.

It was working fine for the first 2 weeks I was using it, but just recently it has become non-responsive. I upgraded to the latest to see if that would solve the issue, and it has not.

Is there any methods I could use to have it do a self diagnostics or something?
