Agent mode missing after just updating vs code insiders #242329

younusAtCareem · 2025-02-28T15:38:36Z

Type: Bug

I just updated vs code insiders and there is no more "agent/edit" dropdown in "copilot edits" section, thats the only reason I switched from intellij to vs code and now that goes missing, please fix it. Thanks

Hm, I'm not aware of any change. You still have the chat.agent.enabled setting enabled?

And you're sure you're looking at the Edits view?

DerekWW · 2025-02-28T17:58:50Z

I am seeing the same, but on window reload I can see the option before it disappears. Agent mode enabled. Was working fine before updating today.

+1, same flickering experience here.

gbrownbertec · 2025-02-28T18:48:06Z

Same here, posted it in copilot repo yesterday microsoft/vscode-copilot-release#5835

Same here.

For users with Copilot for Business, organization admins must opt in to using editor preview features. VS Code is now respecting this feature for agent mode which is what you are seeing. If you would like to use agent mode, you will need to have your org admin enable it or use a personal account.

digitarald · 2025-03-01T00:38:54Z

Link for org admins where that setting can be found in GitHub.com's copilot settings: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-github-copilot-in-your-organization/managing-policies-for-copilot-in-your-organization#enabling-copilot-features-in-your-organization

roblourens · 2025-03-04T19:09:48Z

We've added a log message to the Copilot Chat output channel when this is the case. Let me know if you have any other issues, thanks

lanmower · 2025-03-05T08:56:22Z

I have no agent mode dropdown either

rhernandez-lsn · 2025-03-05T21:32:01Z

I have agent mode dropdown, but can't select model now.

cklumph · 2025-03-05T21:36:45Z

I see the same thing as @rhernandez-lsn above with v1.99.0-Insider downloaded today. Previous version worked fine. I get this in my Copilot Chat output log:

Tried restarting my Mac (M2, Sequoia) with no change in behavior. Also tried removing the Copilot Chat extension and re-adding, and tried the "Release" version, all with the same results. I verified my Organization settings on Github.com and everything is enabled for Copilot (it's a personal account).

I got mine working: uninstalled the Copilot and Copilot Chat extensions, restarted VS Code Insiders, then installed the Release versions. Now I get the Edit/Agent option and Models drop-down again.

alpgarcia · 2025-03-05T23:12:12Z

I have agent mode dropdown, but can't select model now.

The workaround I use for now is to install and keep yesterday's version (or whatever worked for you) of the copilot chat extension instead of the latest. Just try until you find one that makes the model dropdown list appear again.

This is a seprate issue with the new release which is now fixed. Sorry for the breakage

roblourens · 2025-03-06T05:21:35Z

There are some different issues being discussed here. The original was #242329 (comment), then there was a break in today's new release which is resolved, besides that just be sure to have the latest VS Code Insiders and pre-release extension and it should be fine.
