bug: unable to obtain any response for @codebase context

[allenabraham777]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to provide a prompt by keeping the @codebase context. The code response tab shows nothing but just 'Generating response ....' forever.

Can I know what should be done in order to take the whole codebase as context and work over it?

To reproduce

• Load a project in nvim
• Open the chat
• Provide codebase as context and ask a question over it
• The response in generating state for ever

Expected behavior

The response tab should give some response based on the codebase.

Installation method

Use lazy.nvim:

{
  "yetone/avante.nvim",
  event = "VeryLazy",
  lazy = false,
  version = false, -- set this if you want to always pull the latest change
  opts = {
    -- add any opts here
  },
  -- if you want to build from source then do `make BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=true`
  build = "make",
  -- build = "powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Build.ps1 -BuildFromSource false" -- for windows
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    "stevearc/dressing.nvim",
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
  },
}

Environment

NVIM v0.10.0 Build type: Release LuaJIT 2.1.1716656478

macOS 15.0 24A335 arm64 (M1 chip)

Repro

return {
  "yetone/avante.nvim",
  event = "VeryLazy",
  lazy = false,
  version = false, -- set this if you want to always pull the latest change
  opts = {
    provider = "claude",
    claude = {
      api_key_name = "cmd:bw get notes anthropic-api-key", -- the shell command must prefixed with `^cmd:(.*)`
      -- api_key_name = {"bw","get","notes","anthropic-api-key"}, -- if it is a table of string, then default to command.
    }
  },
  -- if you want to build from source then do `make BUILD_FROM_SOURCE=true`
  build = "make",
  -- build = "powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Build.ps1 -BuildFromSource false" -- for windows
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    "stevearc/dressing.nvim",
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
    --- The below dependencies are optional,
    "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- or echasnovski/mini.icons
    "zbirenbaum/copilot.lua", -- for providers='copilot'
    {
      -- support for image pasting
      "HakonHarnes/img-clip.nvim",
      event = "VeryLazy",
      opts = {
        -- recommended settings
        default = {
          embed_image_as_base64 = false,
          prompt_for_file_name = false,
          drag_and_drop = {
            insert_mode = true,
          },
          -- required for Windows users
          use_absolute_path = true,
        },
      },
    },
    {
      -- Make sure to set this up properly if you have lazy=true
      'MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim',
      opts = {
        file_types = { "markdown", "Avante" },
      },
      ft = { "markdown", "Avante" },
    },
  },
}

[yetone]

Is it the latest version?

[briskajanis1]

I can reproduce this as well. Update config just now.

[allenabraham777]

Is it the latest version?

I upgraded it to the latest version and still the bug exists.

[wiscaksono]

am having the same issue

Did any of you try looking through other recent already reported issues? https://github.com/yetone/avante.nvim/issues/612#issuecomment-2375729928

[GopherJ]

I had issue when repo map becomes too big, I saw that lsp-ai has chunked thing. Does that help?

Also c/c++ query doesn't seem to work during my tests

You can turn on the debug mode to check the curl body:

  opts = {
    debug = true,
  },

The context is never taken I guess, this is what I can see in :messages

E5108: Error executing lua:

When I'm over neo-tree preview and none of the files are open, I get the following message

Most likely your language is not supported. If you enable debug mode as suggested you might see something like:

The repo map is empty. Maybe do not support this language: lua

It is also important to understand how this whole thing works. The @codebase will not inject the repo map into the question itself, it will fill the project context part of the request.

Here is a summary of the request which you can debug by typing :messages:

[2024-10-09 11:03:02] [AVANTE] [DEBUG] user prompts: { the object being sent }

The object consists of these keys:

1. PROJECT CONTEXT: [contents of repo_map, @codebase]
2. FILEPATH: lua/custom/plugins/avante.lua
3. CODE: [Lua code for Avante plugin configuration]
4. INSTRUCTION: [Detailed instructions for code modification requests]
5. SEARCH/REPLACE block Rules: [Guidelines for using SEARCH/REPLACE blocks]
6. QUESTION: The actual prompt

The @codebase will inject the repo_map, if supported, into PROJECT CONTEXT.

Try it out with a go project for example, it worked for me.

EDIT: I noticed after writing that this issue is about being stuck at generated response, so what I said is not relevant to your specific problem. I have the latest version btw and I don't face this issue.
