Description

When querying my codebase I get the following error:

Error handling message of type getSearchResults: com.intellij.execution.process.ProcessNotCreatedException: Cannot run program "C:\Users\<redacted>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\PyCharm2025.1\plugins\continue-intellij-extension\ripgrep\bin\rg.exe" (in directory "D:\<redacted>"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

The plugins\continue-intellij-extension\ripgrep\bin\ directory only contains an rg file which is not executable on Windows if renamed to rg.exe.

Manually adding the ripgrep executable from https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases/ fixes the issue.

To reproduce

No response

Thanks for verifying that adding the binary manually works.

When querying my codebase I get the following error:

To be clear, this is when you are in Agent mode?

[jnslmk]

Yes, this happens in agent mode when the plugin tries to search the codebase with ripgrep

[Patrick-Erichsen]

I just confirmed this on IntelliJ too. Will look into it this week!

@jnslmk please let me know if this is resolved in subsequent releases!
