[Bug]: Chat doesn't seem to have access to the code

[grangej]

Before Reporting

• I have checked FAQ, and there is no solution to my issue
• I have searched the existing issues, and there is no existing issue for my issue

What happened?

Recently the chat no longer has access to the code, even when I manually specify the @code in the prompt.

For example:

Error:

I apologize for the inconvenience, but it seems there is a technical issue. The updated code from the file "/*****/features/DraftInvite/DraftInviteView.swift" was not loaded correctly. The context still shows an empty file.

Could you please provide the updated code directly or describe the changes you've made so I can assist you more effectively?

How to reproduce the bug.

Make changes to the code and ask for updates to the code

It seems to work for me.

Please let me know if you were selecting empty spaces in the editor like this?

Does it work if you select a piece of code and ask about it?

Do you think you can MITM the request and see if the code is contained in the request body?

Unfortunately it does seem to be working this morning.

I will try and reproduce again and get a screenshot of both the editor and chat window as you have done. I did also at the time make sure that I wasn't selecting anything and also even tried selecting everything in the editing file. Perhaps it is the size of the file?

Happy to also try and proxy the request once I can reproduce it again.

One possible reason is that the app failed to find the UI element for the editor, I will review the logic before the next release.

Currently, the app will try to find the element each time Xcode becomes active or the focused UI element changes (switching between editors or windows, etc.)

If you encounter this issue again, you can try deactivating and reactivating Xcode as a workaround.
