Before submitting your bug report

• I believe this is a bug. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
• I'm not able to find an open issue that reports the same bug
• I've seen the troubleshooting guide on the Continue Docs

Relevant environment info

- OS: Windows
- Continue version: 0.0.83
- IDE version: PHPStorm 2024.3.1
- WSL version: 2.3.26.0
- Git path in PHPStorm: \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\usr\bin\git

Description

When Enable tab autocomplete is checked, auto complete does not display and any change to a file pops up the error Error handling message of type getDiff: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "git" (in directory "\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\test-project"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified because it's trying to execute Windows Git while PHPStorm is accessing a project in WSL, but not running in WSL remote development mode

Originally posted by @timbit123 in #1466 (comment) but no issue was raised

To reproduce

1. Set up WSL, create a project in there
2. Install git in WSL
3. Set your Intelli IDEA IDE to use Git from WSL
4. Open any Intelli IDEA IDE, with Continue installed and tab auto complete enabled
5. Create a new project from a WSL location
6. Edit a file and see the error

Log output

Error handling message of type getDiff: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "git" (in directory "\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\test-project"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

cc @RomneyDa here - this might be fixed with some recent updates to pathing for WSL/SSH.

@Patrick-Erichsen Is there a timeline for that to be released on IntelliJ?

[Patrick-Erichsen]

0.0.84 is available on EAP and will be released on Friday, please let me know if the issue is resolved once you install!

I encountered the same issue, and the problem was resolved after disabling the Continue plugin.

Encountered the same issue, resolved by eliminating "diff" from "contextProviders" in the config JSON. Using continue 0.0.90

@rainoffrogs note that with the new Hub, you can choose exactly which context providers are included in your assistant 😁

I have the same issue with 1.0.2. I've removed the diff context for now 🙏

@Patrick-Erichsen
As I said in the last message, I removed the diff context and it stopped complaining.
Today I logged in to continue.dev account to do some comparison between the local models and the "online" ones.

It started throwing the git diff error again (which makes sense, since the new config had the diff context.

But now I've logged out, I'm using my previous config.yaml (I've also put the previous config.json just in case), neither have the diff context but it keeps throwing the error each time I do a change to a file 😅

Is there any cache or something I should clear to "refresh" the plugin's memory?

EDIT:
nevermind, I've removed the plugin and put it back one more time and it worked 🤷

EDIT 2:
nope, it's still happening 😭
