Description
So the issue is when I try to have it run terminal commands I get this error in Code-Server:
"Terminal output not available. This is only available in local development environments and not in SSH environments for example."
I reached out to the code-server folks and they confirmed it is not an error on their end, but the Continue extension. Also I was able to confirm that there is a working solution, Kilo Code implements some kind of integration with the terminal that works on code-server.
To reproduce
- Install Code-Server, any Linux distro should work.
- Install the Continue extension and integrate it with any LLM
- Tell that LLM to run a terminal command (e.g. find .) and tell the output
- Approve the terminal command to be ran
- See the following error: "Terminal output not available. This is only available in local development environments and not in SSH environments for example."
Log output
Let me know if you need additional logs, but I think this one that error message should be good enough.
