vscode /ide integration not working

[kheeMingC]

Expected Behavior

I should be able to say “read this file” while the file is open in VS Code, without needing to use @path-to-file to manually add it as context.

Actual Behavior

The CLI has no awareness of the currently opened file, and some tool calls through the /ide integration show failure or error messages:

DIAGNOSTICS  [{"filePaths":[]}]
└ Error: Could not connect to IDE extension. Make sure the Command Code extension is 
  installed and active.

Command Code Version

v0.25.6

Operating System

Windows

Terminal/IDE

vscode

Shell

git bash > zsh

Additional context

Before v0.25.2, running /ide in my environment would open 2 VS Code instances. Opening those VS Code instances had no effect on the integration between the command-code CLI and VS Code. Reloading the developer window also did not help.

As of v0.25.6, it no longer opens any new VS Code instances. However, the IDE integration still fails.

Would need more information @kheeMingC Is the extension installed in VS Code? Can you uninstall and try again? We recently changes our install method for the extension. Any more information you can provide?

[kheeMingC]

Ok, I uninstalled Command Code for VS Code extension, relaunch vscode (confirmed Command Code extension was uninstalled), run command-code (Command Code for VS Code automatically installed) then /ide, and this is what I get in the terminal:

(orange colored ring) IDE extension installed — reload Visual Studio Code's window to activate
  Select code in your IDE and it's automatically included in your prompt: no copy-paste needed.

  Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window in Visual Studio Code, then re-run /ide to verify.

I get the same message in terminal after reload developer window and run /ide again

I also tried

• disable all extensions in vscode but only activate Command Code Extension -> not working
• use windows cmd, and powershell as terminal, launch command-code then run /ide -> not working
• tried command-code --ide-setup -> not working

Additional Information:

• pnpm version: 11.0.8
• ran pnpm i -g command-code@latest to installed command-code

Thanks for the information @kheeMingC I haven't had the chance to test the IDE extension fully yet on Windows. It seems the extension is installing for you but not able to connect to Command Code CLI. What do you see when you run, cmd --debug and check the logs which are available on ~/.commandcode/command.log (similar path in Windows). Thanks for your patience.

I also tried installed Cursor and ran through the /ide installation process -> not working in Cursor too

Running command-code --debug shows no additional info in the cli, it just launches the CommandCode cli as usual.
Here is the command.log:
