Might be expected, but I let Rob clarify

[roblourens]

You should be able to ignore that, it will be fixed up in the next vscode release.

I'm seeing this today 4/24/24 while trying to fix dev container extension host crashing. Should this be re-opened?

[digitarald]

@thesolution are your extension and VS Code on the latest updates?

[thesolution]

@digitarald As far as I can see I am. I deleted all extensions and VSCode as well as deleting VSCode user settings listed in the first answer of SO Question: How to completely uninstall VS Code on mac? then reinstalled with a fresh download of the VSCode installer.

[thesolution]

Thank you @digitarald and @roblourens for coaching me on what I need to send. I'm new at this.

Seeing same issue in a way. Getting that issue in vscode remote, breaking copilot chat remote. Also seeing no logs for normal copilot in remote, totally non functional. Issues began sometime in the last week.

[hhfrancois]

+1, same issue, copilot not working in remote with error about aiTextSearchProvider. vscode and github copilot extension are the newest versions.

[hhfrancois]

finally, update vscode, uninstall plugins. remove github folder extensions, reinstall folder... works... many hours losted

[roblourens]

Please just check that Copilot Chat is updated to the latest, and note that it has to be updated on the remote you're connected to
