Code completion can't be displayed on vscode for macos

[xuanhua]

Before submitting your bug report

• I believe this is a bug. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
• I'm not able to find an open issue that reports the same bug
• I've seen the troubleshooting guide on the Continue Docs

Relevant environment info

- OS: Macos 14.3
- Continue: v0.8.40
- IDE: vscode Version: 1.90.2 (Universal)
- Model: deepseek-coder:6.7b

Description

Right side bar could work (llm could give answers for questions).
But code autocompletion does not work

Here is my config.json:

{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "deepseek coder 6.7b instruct",
      "provider": "ollama",
      "model": "deepseek-coder:6.7b-instruct"
    }
  ],
  "customCommands": [
    {
      "name": "test",
      "prompt": "{{{ input }}}\n\nWrite a comprehensive set of unit tests for the selected code. It should setup, run tests that check for correctness including important edge cases, and teardown. Ensure that the tests are complete and sophisticated. Give the tests just as chat output, don't edit any file.",
      "description": "Write unit tests for highlighted code"
    }
  ],
  "tabAutocompleteModel": {
    "title": "deepseek coder 6.7b instruct",
    "provider": "ollama",
    "model": "deepseek-coder:6.7b-instruct"
  },
  "allowAnonymousTelemetry": true,
  "embeddingsProvider": {
    "provider": "transformers.js"
  }
}

And the local installed Continue plugin could work on when connecting to remote ubuntu server.
So I wonder if there is any access permission issue on Macos? And I cannot see any obvious related issue in devopler console

And by using following steps:

Open the "Output" panel (right next to the terminal)
In the dropdown, select "Continue - LLM Prompts/Completions
View the exact prompts that were sent to the LLM and the completions recieved

During typing in *.py file, I can see the llm's code completion. But I there still no code completion displayed during the typing.

To reproduce

steps are listed above

I'm not an expert on typescript. I see more messages on deveoper console like this:

Hope this would help

@xuanhua thanks for sharing all of the logs. I don't think there's anything there strictly related to the Continue extension, but I'm wondering whether anything in this list might be able to explain the problem

[sestinj]

particularly the 6th point could explain the fact that you still see the completion in the Output tab

@sestinj thanks for your reply, I just check the list you provided especially the 6th, And I can see the option of "editor.inlineSuggest.enabled" is checked. So from my understanding, this should not be cause.

The weird thing is that when I connected to a remote ubuntu machine, the code-completion suggestion could work and it also use my local (on macos) model. I also tried to disable or even uninstall Continue plugin from that ubuntu machine. And I see there are actually only one instance of Continue plugin. And once I change the its configuration on ubuntu machine, the configuration also is changed on my macos. And I remembered that I also tried to using Continue on Jetbrain IDE for python programming. There is no lucky for me there so I did uninstalled Continue on Jetbrain IDE. And as far as I know, there is only one vscode instance running during my development: local deveopment on my macos or remote development on that ubuntu machine.
