Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Extension not detecting AI code:

• Check if is-ai-code.enabled is set to true
• Verify file language is in supported languages
• Check confidence threshold setting

No status bar indicator:

• Ensure extension is activated
• Check VS Code status bar visibility
• Restart VS Code if needed

Code actions not appearing:

• Verify enableCodeActions is set to true
• Check if file contains AI code warnings
• Right-click on warning messages
