Gitlab code suggestions not working in VS Code

GitLab Duo (AI)
1

Code suggestions is not working in VS Code. I have been assigned a seat by the administrator in our orgranization and in the process of evaluation of Code suggestions. However, there is no sign of life after i type a comment. Eg: // Implement Hello world.

I have authenticated and validated my account in VS Code command, and see that Code suggestions is enabled in Duo settings. However there is no Code suggestions coming up.

Thanks. Looking at your code example, I assume it might be TypeScript/JavaScript, but could also be Go / C++.

I’m using the same VS Code versions, and GitLab.com SaaS where Code Suggestions work for TypeScript. The indicator at the bottom will tell whether Code Suggestions are enabled.

To troubleshoot the IDE side:

  1. The file extension is important for VS Code and Duo to detect the language.
  2. Check that the language is supported. You can also configure additional languages.

If the IDE looks good, the problem may be on the server-side. Which self-managed GitLab version are you using?

Your administrator also needs to make sure that the Duo subscription is synced to the self-managed instance. The steps are explained in the troubleshooting docs, including a health check. Control GitLab Duo availability | GitLab
