Having Trouble with Pieces for VS Code?
If the Pieces for VS Code Extension isn’t working as expected, verify the following steps:
Ensure You Have the Latest Versions
First, confirm you’re using the latest version of the Pieces for VS Code Extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace as well as the latest version of PiecesOS. The minimum functioning version permitted is currently 10.1.12.
Check PiecesOS Status
Check to make sure PiecesOS is running. PiecesOS must be running for the Pieces for VS Code Extension to work.
Restart VS Code After Updates
If you’ve recently installed or updated PiecesOS or the Pieces for VS Code Extension, restart the IDE.
Contact the Pieces support team if the issue still persists.

Refreshing Copilot Chats
You may find that you need to restart or refresh the Pieces Copilot chat, especially if you’re using a cloud LLM and disconnect from WiFi.
These scenarios can occasionally cause the LLM to ‘hang’—which is to appear as if generating a response, but eventually timing out or entering into an infinite response loop, or experience other issues.
To do this, click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of your Copilot Chat window, and click Refresh.
