Slash commands should run in ide just like context provider about continue HOT 2 CLOSED

@frblondin This is now the default behavior. Closing the issue, but we still have the other open in case you run into any related problems

from continue.

@frblondin Totally agreed. As mentioned in the other issue I'm working on making this happen.

For now, we actually have two options that might partially solve your problem:

1. Use sdk.ide, which is passed to the run method of a slash command and gives you access to many methods like reading/writing files, running commands, etc...
2. There is a runInNodeJs option on slash commands that will do what you want. Same "dynamic import" rules apply until I make the change

export interface SlashCommand {
  name: string;
  description: string;
  params?: { [key: string]: any };
  run: (sdk: ContinueSDK) => AsyncGenerator<string | undefined>;

  // If true, this command will be run in NodeJs and have access to the filesystem and other Node-only APIs
  // You must make sure to dynamically import any Node-only dependencies in your command so that it doesn't break in the browser
  runInNodeJs?: boolean;
}

from continue.
