Description

Please tell me how to configure and use the ‘Continue’ plugin in PyCharm in an offline environment.

After successfully configuring and using the ‘Continue’ plugin in my offline environment for VS Code, I wanted to follow the configuration steps for PyCharm according to the VS Code setup. However, I encountered some issues after installing the plugin.

  1. When trying to manually start the service and clicking ‘Manually start server,’ a blank pop-up window appears.

  2. After offline installation of ‘continuedev’ using pip, the ‘~/.continue’ directory still contains only an empty folder named ‘server’.

@sestinj Yes, in an offline environment, the source address only needs to be specified during pip install to take effect, for example pip install continuedev -i repository_url_of_pip_package --trusted-host=repository_ip_address.

this is also because the 0.0.7 version attempts to download the continueserver binary, then Meilisearch, and it takes some time, timeouts may happen

the plugin UI should use a progress bar or a spinner to wait for the readiness of the underlying backend. I can’t PR it but, you get the idea

I’ll test the 0.0.8 version 😉

@sestinj I have set up a model service on a remote GPU server and I’m using Continue on another computer without a CPU.

The error message did not appear in the Continue sidebar; it was an error prompt from the Continue plugin in PyCharm.
