Question

I'm on a Raspberry Pi5 and wanting to use Amazon Q on vscode.dev to develop over the remote tunnel. Is this possible? I am able use it when I'm on the Raspberry Pi itself, but not remotely.

[justinmk3]

Not yet, but subscribe to #2205 for future updates.

[justinmk3]

#5847 may fix the "remote tunnel" case.

[hayemaxi]

This may have been fixed in Amazon Q 1.31.0, can you verify?

[pugpapa]

It is not. I am on 1.32 and when I click on the red box to sign in with my Builder ID, nothing happens. Is there an alternate way to authenticate?

[justinmk3]

Can you provide the Amazon Q logs?

1. In the vscode command palette, run Amazon Q: View Logs. This reveals the Output panel with Amazon Q Logs selected.
2. Click the gear icon and choose Debug, then click it again and choose Set As Default.
3. Perform the steps to reproduce the issue.
4. Remove any private info from the logs.

Also need details on what is meant by "over the remote tunnel" specifically. Because there are many ways in vscode to use it remotely. Please say the exact steps you use to connect to vscode remote tunnel.

A screenshot (with private info removed) may help.

I've started up the server on my Pi, and using vscode.dev (connected to my GitHub) to tunnel in.

Not sure what happens on their side, but these are the docs: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/tunnels

when I click on the red box to sign in with my Builder ID, nothing happens

Try clicking it again. There is a known usability issue where if an item in the login menu is expired, it may require multiple clicks.

If that doesn't work, try clicking the Q logo in the vscode sidebar, it should show a login form like this:

If you don't see the Q logo in the sidebar, right-click on the sidebar to enable it:

[pugpapa]

Nothing shows up in the Q box

[justinmk3]

Possibly vscode's own logs might give a hint, if you can provide those. If vscode is not showing the extension webview, that's very unusual. Does that happen with any other extensions that use webviews, on that same system?
