Issues with loading config #7524

Description

@voipp

Continue plugin failed to index my codebase in latest IntellijIdea. Indexing is stuck in 0% position
Why?
In core log i see:

[2025-09-02T16:11:43] [info] Starting Continue core...
[2025-09-02T16:11:43] Setup

[2025-09-02T16:11:44] Error loading remotely set config.js: Error [ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME]: Only URLs with a scheme in: file, data are supported by the default ESM loader. On Windows, absolute paths must be valid file:// URLs. Received protocol 'c:'
[2025-09-02T16:11:50] Error parsing line: {"messa.....SyntaxError: Unexpected token { in JSON at position....

It seems that nodejs continue server failed to load js config from .continue folder?
Why it sasys in logs that failed to parse line in my kotlin file?

I dont have config.js file, but config.ts. Ok, i compile ts into js, still the same error

Please, help me diagnose the problem and solve it!

PS
ai suggested to define the path explicitly in Idea:
-Dcontinue.config_path=file:///C:/Users/YourUsername/.continue/config.js
Didn't help
