I am a user of Github Copilot (via GitHub Education Pack). My GitHub Copilot Chat History is Not Showing, although it was working perfectly fine, earlier. I don't think there are exact steps to reproduce, but I'll try to mention what I think caused it. I have attached all logs from my VSCode, since I didn't know if there is any particular log file to attach.
Furthermore, I followed this too microsoft/vscode-copilot-release#872 but no luck. I didn't uninstall the GitHub Copilot Extension for a reason. I had 5 VSCode windows opened. 1 window is of a Remote Instance connected via SSH, and it had GitHub Copilot History as well. So if it was extension related, then it should occur only in the local extension but all my chats are gone, including the ones which I accessed via the same VSCode, but for the remote instance session!
I am pissed due to this, as the chat history had important stuff. There is no option to sync or export the chat easily, and even though I was planning to export it as .json, I was unsure if it will download all chats together or 1 chat individually, even if there are multiple chats in a session/window.
- Copilot Chat Extension Version: 0.23.2
- VS Code Version: 1.96.2
- OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26100 (Windows 11 Home - Version 24H2)
- Logs: vscode_logs.zip
Steps to Reproduce:
- My PC apps were a bit stuck, so I just ended VSCode from Task Manager, and relaunched it
- I have checked my chat sessions, but all sessions are gone!
I have done closing the VSCode in past too, via Task Manager, or even via direct shutdown, but all the windows, along with their Github Copilot chats, are always restored. Even for the remote instance, which I usually shut down and connect again daily, the chats stay there! So, I am surprised how all chats vanished! I didn't close sessions/windows for VSCode, so I won't lose the chat history and now it's gone! Please Help! Let me know if you need anything else.
