Troubleshooting
Common Issues
# Extension not loading
# 1. Check VS Code/JetBrains version compatibility
# 2. Restart IDE
# 3. Reinstall extension
# 4. Check Continue logs
# API key issues
# 1. Verify API key format
# 2. Check API key permissions
# 3. Test API key with curl
# 4. Check rate limits
# Model not responding
# 1. Check internet connection
# 2. Verify model name
# 3. Check API endpoint
# 4. Review request options
Debug Mode
\\\\{
"allowAnonymousTelemetry": false,
"logLevel": "debug"
\\\\}
Log Analysis
# VS Code logs location
# Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\logs\
# macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Code/
# Linux: ~/.config/Code/logs/
# JetBrains logs
# Check IDE logs directory
# Help > Show Log in Explorer/Finder
Best Practices
Effective Prompting
// ❌ Vague request
"Fix this code"
// ✅ Specific request
"Optimize this function for better performance and add error handling for edge cases"
// ❌ No context
"Create a component"
// ✅ With context
"Create a React component for displaying user profiles with TypeScript interfaces and proper prop validation"
Context Management
# Use relevant context providers
@codebase "similar authentication patterns"
@file:src/types/user.ts
# Be specific about requirements
"Using the User interface from @file:src/types/user.ts, create a validation function"
Model Selection
# Use appropriate models for tasks
# - GPT-4: Complex reasoning, architecture decisions
# - Claude: Long context, detailed explanations
# - Local models: Privacy, offline work
# - Specialized models: Domain-specific tasks
