Hi,

Copilot was working fine until about last week, but it suddenly stopped working recently. When I run :Copilot status, I get the following error:

Copilot: Process exited with status 1

This error occurs when I start Neovim and when I run any command other than :Copilot version.

Here are the current versions:

copilot.vim 1.41.0
Neovim 0.9.4
Not running
Linux

Node: v18.18.0

Since I started getting this error, I updated copilot.vim, so I don’t know the previous version, but at least the current version is the latest. Also, I still get the error after updating Neovim to the latest version (0.10.2).

I checked the logs for LSP and Copilot, but neither of them showed any output. Is there a way to resolve this issue? Or is there any information I can provide to help troubleshoot the problem?

Thank you!

I don't think it's ever worked for anyone more than a couple times. It just doesn't seem to be able to reliably maintain i/o with the language server. I don't think it's something vim or Neovim were really designed to do well? Half the time it dies, half the time it hangs, with or without eventually leaving a node language-server.js --stdio running in the background. I saw it work, for less than a day, myself, and I didn't do anything different that day than any of the other days where it's just died with no meaningful error message or logs to be found.

I'm just guessing but it's probably something to do with mixed line-endings, winpty or lack thereof? I mean obviously anyone on windows has git for windows installed, but it doesn't seem to actually be able to accommodate (or even acknowledge the existence of) the MSYS2 environment? There's just no mention of any of these nuances in the documentation. Despite being on github, and supporting an open source text editor, and being designed for publicly shared code, there is only a black box in a black box underneath it all. Even the .vim files are pretty obscure. Like, what is it even really trying to do? who knows.
