[Help Wanted]: Could not get Nearby suggestions

• [X] I have searched the existing issues, and there is no existing issue for my issue

Describe your issue

I followed all the settings, including extensions and accessibility settings, as outlined in the guidelines. I can see the Copilot menu in the Editor menu.

However, the problem is that the Nearby suggestions (I selected the nearby text cursor) are not appearing while I am coding in Xcode. Could someone tell me what might be wrong?

I ran the Console and found that these two errors were coming up.

Please post your settings here, including the general settings, service settings and feature settings.

Make sure that you have read the FAQ: https://copilotforxcode.intii.com/faq/app-faq/#suggestion https://copilotforxcode.intii.com/faq/github-copilot-faq/

Observe the logs base on the information from the FAQ.

And answer the following questions:

1. Can see this widget?

   

2. Does it animate when you type.

3. What logs did you see posted under the category GitHubCopilot.

[intitni]

Turn the last two toggles on in Console.app, too.

[jiyoungparki]

@intitni

1. Yes I can see the widget on the xcode

   

2. It animates while I am typing

3. The logs I got while I am using xcode are as follows (turned on the include info messages, debug messages)

   

[intitni]

Please follow the FAQ https://copilotforxcode.intii.com/faq/github-copilot-faq/ to turn on verbose log and set up the filter to only show logs from category:GitHubCopilot.

[jiyoungparki]

@intitni

filtered to only show logs from category:GitHubCopilot. and I got these logs. It seems like working, but still I couldn't find any suggestion box on the Xcode yet....

[intitni]

But you are filtering out the logs from category:Service.

Please change it to category:GitHubCopilot.

Restart the service app if you can't see any log.

@intitni
Thanks for the images. I just followed your guide. I changed the category and restarted the app for several times, and found this on the console. It seems like working normally, but still could not get any suggestions in the xcode yet.

[intitni]

Either it's working or not, you should not see only one log when you type. Normally, you will see logs about sending requests to the language server.

Please post your suggestion feature settings and GitHub Copilot settings here.

[jiyoungparki]

@intitni

[intitni]

And your GitHub Copilot settings.

[intitni]

Besides the GitHub Copilot settings. Please confirm if you can see other logs from category:GitHubCopilot when you type in Xcode. The logs should look like:

My guess is it may be a network issue. Please do the following checks too:

• [ ] Are you behind a proxy or a firewall? What happens if you disable them?
• [ ] Did you ever modified the /etc/hosts file? If so, try to revert the changes.

Noting came up on the console log....

[intitni]

Please run this command from terminal. It will connect Copilot for Xcode to my debug server.

defaults write ~/Library/Group\ Containers/5YKZ4Y3DAW.group.com.intii.CopilotForXcode/Library/Preferences/5YKZ4Y3DAW.group.com.intii.CopilotForXcode.plist TestUtilityBaseURL "https://copilotforxcode-testutility.intii.com"

Open a new file that is not important to you, type something to trigger real-time suggestions. I will be able to see the request and response on my end.

After the test, you can run this to disable the server.

defaults delete ~/Library/Group\ Containers/5YKZ4Y3DAW.group.com.intii.CopilotForXcode/Library/Preferences/5YKZ4Y3DAW.group.com.intii.CopilotForXcode.plist TestUtilityBaseURL

[intitni]

I didn't receive anything. I am not sure if you have performed any action but I really need to go to sleep now.

Your settings looks correct to me. You can see the widget animates, which means real-time suggestion is triggered. But it's weird that you can't see any logs.

Another check you can try is to turn on "Enable Xcode inspector debug menu" in the advanced settings. You will find the menu in the Copilot for Xcode menu app. Please check if the active document and other information are correctly listed there.

[jiyoungparki]

@intitni Ah.... sorry, I missed your previous comment...... Currently I found the one thing that is a bit different from you is that the Copilot for Xcode icon is not showing up on the menu bar. Is this could also cause a problem?

[intitni]

How is it even possible… Is it just hidden because you have too many icon on the menu bar and the MacBook need space for the notch? Is the CopilotForXcodeExtensionService.app still running?

[intitni]

Please try this version

https://github.com/intitni/CopilotForXcode/releases/download/0.5.0/Copilot.for.Xcode.debug.20241005.1.zip

I have added a lot of logs. Please set the console filter to process:CopilotForXcodeExtensionService and category:Service. If it eventually reaches GitHub Copilot, you will see RealtimeSuggestion: GitHub Copilot send request to service, otherwise, you will see other logs as you type and stop.

[jiyoungparki]

@intitni Thanks for the new version. I followed your guidance, and it seems like working normally, cuz I got logs like the below image.

Also the I could see the icon on the menu bar right now. (the reason why I couldn't find app icon is that there were not enough space on the menu bar.)

But It's so weird, that I couldn't get any suggessions on the xcode yet.😢

[intitni]

At least we are narrowing down the issue. It looks the the request never reaches GitHub Copilot. Please try this version with more logs.

https://github.com/intitni/CopilotForXcode/releases/download/0.5.0/Copilot.for.Xcode.debug.20241005.2.zip

[jiyoungparki]

@intitni Tried the new version, and it seems like 0 suggestions were made.

[intitni]

So it early returned in the middlewares. Hopefully this is the last try:

https://github.com/intitni/CopilotForXcode/releases/download/0.5.0/Copilot.for.Xcode.debug.2024.1006.1.zip

By looking at the code, I can't find where a middleware can early return an empty list without hitting the suggestion provider except the case the feature is disabled for the language you are using.

Any chance you have disabled it for the language? You can check it in the suggestion settings > "Disabled language list".

[jiyoungparki]

@intitni Finally, it's working!!! 🎉 🎉 🎉 Thanks for helping me out for such a long time. 👍 I found out that Swift was on the list of disabled languages. I don't think I set it up like that initially. That's so weird. Anyway, Thanks for keeping on helping me! It helped a lot. 👍👍👍
