Stuck on "Loading Continue server..." from Discord

Discord thread

Describe the bug

I'm trying to use the vs code extension on MacOS, python3 --version returns Python 3.9.6 , I've added my openAI key to the Continue settings, but every time I try to use the extension it gets stuck on "Loading Continue server...". I don't see any pop ups anywhere. What else can i try to get it working? Oh, and I am able to connect to the server using nc -zv localhost 65432 in my terminal.

Environment

• Operating System: MacOS
• Python Version: Python 3.9.6

Console logs

The logs in my vs code developer tools look fine to me, I did notice that there's a context in my developer console for a "pending iframe" that seems to be related to the Continue Extension.

Please let moghammed know on Discord when the issue has been closed

A number of errors have been solved that should clear this up. I'll wait to close this issue until there is confirmation that things work.

If the issue comes up again, we now have a feature to view the issue logs in ~/.continue/continue.log, and it would be extremely helpful to see them.

From - 'Toggle Developer Tools', here's my console log:

Thanks so much! I'm working literally at the moment on something relevant, so I'll keep you updated. Let me know if reloading the window happens to work for you.

[juhsinto]

I was able to resolve the issue by - manually installing the python requirements ; via cd Users/<myuser>/.continue/server and then pip3 install -r requirements.txt After that, reloading vscode seemed to make the extension work.

@juhsinto Glad that was able to solve it! I'm going to add this to our new troubleshooting documentation. Also don't want to close this issue yet since we haven't fixed the root problem, but I'm working here on a solution by bundling a Python executable. I'll comment again with updates soon.

root problem has been addressed, closing this issue
