Description

I am editing a new, unsaved file. It has TypeScript code in it, and VS Code is in TypeScript mode. However, the completions are very bad and always the same. I checked the Continue "output" window, and I can see why.

It's not even trying to send content from the current file. As soon as I saved the file to disk, it seemed to start working normally.

I'm not sure if it is relevant, but I'm using VS Code over a "Remote - SSH" session.

Ah yes the remote part seems like the important one, thanks for mentioning that detail. I know i'd fixed a similar bug recently for non-remote, but I'll take a second look at this. Were you on the latest pre-release version of the extension?

[coder543]

I was just using whatever is in the VS Code extension store. I don't think it was a pre-release version.

same issue when editing a file outside of the working dir

[AndrewRocky]

Similar issue, but instead it puts in prompt the first suggestion from language server's suggestions. (when editing an unsaved untitled file with Ctrl+N. Checked in both 'Python' and 'Shell Script' Language Modes.) For example, when writing import pan it will get 'pandas' from code suggestions and create prompt <｜fim▁begin｜>pandas<｜fim▁hole｜><｜fim▁end｜>

BTW, I've also seen this prompt on the server - looks suspiciously like a file (tab?) name. Maybe it will help you to debug this issue:

<｜fim▁begin｜>// Untitled-1
<｜fim▁hole｜><｜fim▁end｜>
