Description

When I ask an LLM to generate me a code snippet in a JetBrains IDE and click the "Apply" (play) button to get the snippet into the IDE editor, I get a popup saying:

Error handling message of type applyToFile: java.lang.NullPointerException: null cannot be cast to non-null type kotlin.String

To reproduce

1. Go to the chat window
2. ask the LLM to generate a code
3. click the play button to apply the code

Log output

There doesn't seem to be anything relevant in continue logs.

The JetBrain logs seem to suggest I'm missing some git integration piece perhaps?

I believe this was fixed here: #2909

Will be getting a new release out ASAP.

[Patrick-Erichsen]

Hi all, we're recommending folks downgrade to 0.0.75 at the moment. Please see this main issue for details: #2956
