Github Copilot only suggesting 1 line at a time

[DicksonWu654]

Issue Type: Bug

Hi there,

My Github Copilot only returns single line suggestions for anything, even the test case:

function calculateDaysBetweenDates(begin, end) {

From looking at other people's copilots it seems like their's are capable of doing multiline suggestions

[DusanNikcevic]

Same issue here. Works perfectly in Webstorm, but in VS Code I have to tab, line by line

[gitsheny]

now Webstorm has the same problem

[DCTriDev]

Me too.. :( Idk how to rollback previous version

[Halfwayclover]

got an invitation few days ago and decided to try it out today. Facing same issue, anyone found any fix?

[olferskjf]

Same issue. Even if I open the suggestions tab with ctr + enter, I only end up seeing one line suggestion (and no visible alternative either).

[DicksonWu654]

Hmmm that's odd - maybe they nerfed the latest version? From my understanding, co-pilot beams over the data to a server to then give us the suggestions, if they just opened it up to a new wave of people, maybe they have some smaller GPT models for some of us to use because of network load?

[ImLoaD]

Same issue.
If I type function calculateDays it only suggests 1 thing: function calculateDays(startDate, endDate) { but not the whole function.
It worked well this morning and now there are a bug

[jordanarldt]

I'm having this same issue as well. It seems to only apply when trying to get code suggestions from comments

[nuttolum]

same here...

[AAAAAXfda-zz]

Vouch, I'm having the same issue

[zhengjiayuanyuan]

Same issue.

[Wang-Thunder]

I was having issues with getting any suggestions at all, and then about an hour ago it started actually returning suggestions.. It is doing the same thing now though, only showing one line at a time instead of whole blocks =/

[olferskjf]

So after some testing: uninstalling all other extensions did not solve the issue for me (on Windows 10), however when I tried copilot on a VirtualBox Ubuntu machine (again with VS Code) I suddenly dó get multi-line suggestions. The suggestion pane however still mostly shows 1 (multi-line) solution, not several, as shown in the tutorial. An exception is when I first highlight a bit of code/comment and then open the suggestion pane.

[JcynR]

Multi line suggestions don't work for me at all on Windows 10 and VS Code. On linux I only get multi line suggestions when I begin typing a new function but not after comments.

[ghost]

Same issue.

[nuttolum]

it seems that this problem is starting to resolve itself

[rhamnett]

I'm still having the same issue with vscode

@davecheney Can you shed some light on this ?

[Downtownitem]

This is also happening with the new extension GitHub Copilot Lab. It only takes the first line input.

[davecheney]

This is a problem with the recent deployment of the copilot AI model. It affects all Copilot users, regardless of their editor or version. We're working on a fix and/or rolling back this deployment.

[patchie]

This worked for me 2 weeks ago, now suddenly it doesn't work. (vscode)

[AAAAAXfda-zz]

• this!!!!!!!!

[tmlewin]

I think the issue is from the backend side of things. This seems to be a huge huge regression in the efficacy of the tool.

[tmlewin]

Updated to the latest extension and multi line suggestion still deosn't work

[shuyinzjk]

thanks folks for your feedback! we hear you and will keep you folks updated.

[liushuai05]

I encountered the same problem when I used vscode 1.67.0 in linux.

[shuyinzjk]

Hi folks, this is GH Copilot team. We hear your feedback and are actively working to address it. Dave and I will keep you folks updated on the progress. Thanks again!

[DicksonWu654]

Awesome! Thank you guys for making this awesome product! Even the one-liner is still good haha - can't wait for the multi-liner copilot 👀

[davecheney]

We’re in the process of rolling out a new release which addresses the regression in multi line completions. We expect this to be competed by the end of the week. Thank you all for your patience, and especially your feedback which was instrumental in highlighting just how important multi line completions were to your workflows.

[Hurleywflow]

Thanks for your informed 👍

[jamosonic]

Amazing, thank you!

[noahlh]

@davecheney Just another thank you for a) being so responsive and b) dealing with this influx of feedback! I'm a PM and I know how stressful it can be when users "revolt" over a change, so you guys are handling this beautifully. Thank you again for delivering a great (free!) product. That parenthetical does not go unappreciated :)

[Hurleywflow]

Hi Team,
This is issue to my as well after update to VSCode V1.67.0

[Hurleywflow]

Thanks, @davecheney, for responds

[rhamnett]

@davecheney @shuyinzjk thanks for the feedback. Keep up the good work.

[lanmower]

so this is still ongoing? was wondering why its not matching the docs

[davecheney]

Yes, we are working on restoring the model’s capacity to produce multi line completions.

[D1yt]

Please update us when the rollback/restore is done :)

[davecheney]

Hello Pilots 🧑‍✈️

I wanted to let everyone know that we've completed the rollback to our previous build of the completion model and we anticipate that this will have restored multi line completions. As I wrote previously, thank you all for your patience, and especially your feedback which was instrumental in highlighting just how important multi line completions were to your workflows.

@davecheney and @shuyinzjk

[Fedack]

Except, now I don't even get any suggestions anymore.

[davecheney]

Which editor are you using?

[Fedack]

Alright, I tested again in visual studio code, and I'm only getting a single line still. As for 2022, I am getting nothing.

It was working 4 days ago, nothing changed in my environment. I've tried a reinstall on visual studio 2022 and it didn't solve the problem.

[reverbePrintemps]

Also haven't witnessed any change as of yet on latest version of Copilot and VS Code. Am I missing something?

[DicksonWu654]

Yo it works! Thank you so much ❤️ --> my productivity is gonna 📈

[Arro]

@davecheney: You mentioned above: "This is a problem with the recent deployment of the copilot AI model"

Is there a chance the recent deployment was related to the bug described here: #16435 ?

The neovim plugin hasn't worked for ~2 days (I'm not sure exactly), and all signs point to it being a server-side issue.

[davecheney]

Hasn’t worked period, or hasn’t worked for a specific source file type?

[Arro]

JavaScript specifically for me, though others have reported Python is also not working.

:Copilot status returns Copilot: Enabled and online though no copilot suggestions are presented.

:Copilot panel shows Error: Failed

[davecheney]

It looks like you're using an older version of the copilot.vim plugin, please see #16423

[Arro]

I wish that was the case. I’ve checked and double checked that I’m on the correct version, and I am.

[insomniachooman]

Update: Multi-Line Suggestion is working for me. All I did was nothing, just waited like dave said and now it's working fine for me.

[Hurleywflow]

For me as well 👍

[tmlewin]

It works flawlessly for me. And it seems the accuracy of the suggestions has improved greatly back to its prime

[cameleon33]

Hello guys,
Just starting to test out Copilot and I get this issue as well.
Only one single line is suggested often.

For simple function, it suggests all of it but if I start to describe the context in the comments, then it only shows one line at a time.
If I look at the copilot window I see several multiline solutions

I am using VScode
