Crashing of vscode after installed the extension about continue HOT 14 CLOSED

@sestinj I have tried. here is what happened:

1. I set "continue.manuallyRunningServer"=true in the config, then I reinstalled 'Continue'. VSCode doesn't close out anymore. Here's how the logs look like after that:
   

2. I try to open console and record the window before vscode crashed, just get a video here: before_crash_video, and next img is the last frame from vedio before vscode quit. (I have try 3 times, just one time capture the logs, sometimes the logs will not show before quit)
   

from continue.

I've heard of the 404 from someone in Europe as well, so it doesn't sound China-specific, but definitely geography-related. I would guess it's probably still possible to download the PyPI package

There are two sets of URLs (one for backup): https://s3.continue.dev/mac/run (and can replace mac with apple-silicon, windows, or linux. If using windows, the last part also needs to be changed to run.exe) and the backup is https://continue-server-binaries.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/mac/run, same paths as above

Thanks, the backup download link is working for me.

Glad it's up and running!! This is a known error: there are differences in how the import works when manually running the server. Before I get around to fixing this, you can open ~/.continue/config.py and change all continuedev.src.continuedev... to just continuedev.... This will solve the problem here

from continue.

Is this the first time you've installed Continue, or is it unique to this version? While I'm not yet sure what would cause this problem and haven't seen it before, I have a couple of naive things to try if you're up for it:

• this might be related to a bug that was fixed in the newest version (0.0.397)
• I'm in a similar environment on Mac, except using VS Code version 1.82.2—maybe upgrading is worth a check, even though it's very close?

What's striking is that this happens instantly, which means there wasn't a lot of time for code to run, so it might be something at the configuration level

I first encountered this problem around a month ago, when my 'Continue' extension was probably on version 0.0.383. I'm really fond of this extension, so I've been waiting for a new version to help fix the issue. I've attempted to solve this by both upgrading and downgrading the 'Continue' version as well as upgrading my Visual Studio Code (VSCode) version. Unfortunately, none of these actions have worked.

Upon installing 'Continue,' I found that I was no longer able to open VSCode. This seems to occur because the startup of 'Continue' causes VSCode to quit. I suspect there may be some conflict during the run of 'Continue,' potentially at the configuration level as you suggested. However, I've been unable to pinpoint the specific issue. If you require my VSCode configuration file to assist you, please let me know which details or components I should provide. @sestinj

from continue.

Well I'm really sorry this has been happening so long :/ There are two experiments that I think would provide useful information:

1. In VS Code settings (probably use JSON since the UI won't show unless Continue is installed), add "continue.manuallyRunningServer": true, and then try re-installing Continue. This will stop Continue from downloading the server, and tell us whether that was the problem. Since you said that manual download sometimes works, I think this might be important
2. Right before you download Continue, use "cmd+shift+p" and then select "Toggle Developer Tools" and open the console. Continue might output some logs that will tell us how far it gets before crashing. Might have to take a video to catch these before they disappear immediately

from continue.

Thanks for this! The first result means that there should be a good temporary solution for you. If you keep the box checked in settings, then setup a server like here, then I would expect Continue to work. (if not then there will probably be a lot of information that comes alongside)

The second result helps me pin down the problem. Pretty clear that the problem is either in trying to kill an old version of the server or downloading a new one.

from continue.

Thanks for your advice. I found that download server binary in manual server doc has 404 error.

Add some more information, I have tried to close vpn/ firewall/ adguard and so on, it doesn't work. I'm not sure whether my being in China is causing this issue. Could you provide me with the URL for the 'Continue' server? I'd like to add it to my VPN and give it a try.

If you need more info for this issue, plz let me know.

😭 Failed again when using manual server. The logs display a recurring download of MeiliSearch, and Vscode continue extension always show Continue Server Starting.
some info:
Python 3.9.16
python env manage tool: mambaforge
macOS: Apple M1 Max Ventura 13.6 (22G120)

Is there any setting I missed. I have followed the Troubleshooting suggestions in the documentation.

• Using python m continuedev
  

• Using ./run binary file
  

from continue.

Sorry this has been such a pain...you aren't doing anything wrong. It looks like we're getting closer though. My guess is that this would be the last hurdle, because it's the last thing that needs to be downloaded. If either you manually download and start meilisearch, or I add a flag to not attempt the download this would no longer be a problem

from continue.

Thanks for your reply. I have download meilisearch using Homebrew, but it doesn not work. I guess maybe I should be put it in right place. so I check in the code. I put it in the folder ~/.continue/server, Then the server works. here is logs

Thank you for the detailed guide. It's now working as expected. I've found that it doesn't work locally, and it's possible that the connection between the local and remote server is being blocked by China's Great Firewall, Therefore, I should enable the terminal to pass through a VPN filter. Perhaps the crashing is correlated with the connection.

from continue.

@GavinXue I wanted to update you that we are now shipping the VS Code extension with the binary built-in, so this download after-the-fact no longer has to happen (you shouldn't have to run it manually).

I'm going to close this issue because I think additional problems would be best handled in a new thread, but please don't hesitate to open one if something else comes up.

Cheers,
Nate
