continue: Continue Server is not getting started.

@tomasmcm That is the correct solution, and I’ve already updated the extension in v0.0.328 to solve the issue, so it should now work out-of-the-box. (https://github.com/continuedev/continue/issues/402)

@gkrawiec @joshpc is everything now working okay for you in v0.0.328?

yes, it is working now. Thank you.

@LangLangBart @sestinj Its works fine now. I am using the latest version. Thanks a lot for the support.

• 🟢 [v0.0.390] works for me on macOS 10.15
  • @vigneshrams can you confirm ?

Alright, update is released along with new binaries. Lmk if it works?

• the binary runs successfully when using a python version above 3.10.0 and below 3.10.9 or using any python version above 3.11.0 (currently 3.11.5 is the latest)

  • individually tested ⏳

• a comment from 12/Aug/22 on a similar issue also suggested the python version to be set above 3.10.0

  • https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/7022#issuecomment-1213056801

for version in {0..13}; do
        echo -n "Python 3.10.$version: "
        curl -s https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-310$version/ |

• @sestinj worth a try ?

@LangLangBart thanks for being so detailed here! It looks like the furthest that GitHub Actions supports is MacOS 11 (https://github.com/actions/runner-images#available-images), which might not be enough given the pyinstaller snippet you shared. It might be possible to setup a self-hosted runner to perform this job though, which I’ll look into first.

Another supporting solution might be to include instructions for manually running the server upon failure. Or even just attempting this automatically as a fallback. Theoretically this is as easy as pip install continuedev && python -m continuedev. I’ll give this a shot and see if it is a consistent enough fix.

@sestinj yep – deleted everything under ~/.continue and reinstalled, works great out of the box. thanks!

I also had a similar issue. (I’m on a M1 mac). But instead of continue.log, the console mentioned server_version.txt was missing. After I copied the file from ~/.vscode/extensions/continue.continue-0.0.326/server_version.txt to ~/.continue/server/server_version.txt and restarted VS Code, it loaded properly

Thanks for sharing. MacOS architecture likely the issue. We’re working on getting around GitHub’s lack of Apple Silicon support, will update once solved

@sestinj From running the cmd to start the server manually, Below is the error I got. Hope it has to do with MacOS Version.
