Describe your issue

Previously, after subscribing to Plus, the Tab key could be used for autocompletion. Now, the Tab key no longer completes code. I'm unsure if this is related to the Xcode upgrade.

[zenangst]

I’m seeing the same thing.

It maybe that the app is failing to register event tap. Can you still accept suggestion with key bindings, buttons and the menu item?

If so, please open Console.app, click start streaming and set the filter to

category:Service
any:CopilotForXcodeExtensionService

Let me know if you see the following logs when you activate an Xcode window:

Similar issue: #500

Sometimes a reboot will fix it.

[zenangst]

I attached my logs for Console.app after launching Xcode.
Unsure if it is the register tap that goes wrong because it seems to swallow the event because nothing happens when Real-time suggestion is enabled. Normally it should accept the regular Xcode auto-complete, but nothing ends up happening.

@zenangst it looks like another unresolvable issue #344. The app loses Accessibility API permission for some reasons. A reboot is needed to fix it.

[zenangst]

@intitni Oooh, yeah. I've seen this from time to time in my own application Keyboard Cowboy. I'll do a restart right now to see if that fixes things an report back to you.

You reckon I'll need to give the extension accessibility permissions again after I've done that?

[intitni]

@zenangst I don't think you need to do it again, but who knows.

[zenangst]

Hmm, a simple reboot didn't help. Have I screwed something up in my settings (again)? 🤔

[intitni]

@zenangst What about regranting permissions and turn the toggle "observe to AXNotification with default mode" on in advanced settings?

[zenangst]

Thanks for following up, it regranted the permissions but is still end up with same result, that tab does nothing when it shows a completion.

[intitni]

@zenangst But how did you get code suggestions when the app fails to observe to AXNotifications. Do you still see the errors about AXObserver?

Please give this version a try: https://github.com/intitni/CopilotForXcode/releases/download/0.1.0/Copilot.for.Xcode.app.debug.tabtoacceptsuggestion.202405301636.zip

I have added tons of loggings to this build. Please set the filter to

category:Debug
any:CopilotForXcodeExtensionService

If the app works as expected, you should see and only see the following logs when you tap Tab:

TabToAcceptSuggestion: handleEvent
TabToAcceptSuggestion: Tab detected, flags: ..., permission: ...
TabToAcceptSuggestion: Perform accept suggestion

After I restarted the computer, not only did the tab stop working, but the code suggestions were also gone...
