• Logs: No logs of any type

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start the inline chat with CMD-I
2. Ask anything
3. Response is always "Could not process response without a reply interpreter!"
4. When I asked in the main chat what a "reply interpreter" is Copilot had no idea what I was talking about

I am beginning to get fed up with this plugin

I am experiencing the same thing for any inline chat I try to start

Can you attach the logs via CMD + SHIFT + U -> GitHub Copilot Chat please

@elizalucas @fritz-trawa Do you or your organisation use copilot-ignored files?

I was briefly, but not at the time I was getting the error. It has since stopped, so it may have been related

Thanks @fritz-trawa - I am confident that this is due to ignored files. That's what the code suggests and this is how I could repro. To verify

• have .copilotignore-file and ignore test.html
• open test.html and make an inline chat request
• make sure the request fails gracefully and shows a nice message
