I asked Cody (using the edit command at the cursor to simply implement the function above. The cody output is the bottom part.

Hey @olejorgenb
Is the wrong indentation behavior a permanent problem, or does it only happen once in a while?

It doesn’t happen all the time, but frequently enough to be quite annoying.

Not sure about the “trigger”.

Another example:

    for (edge, deps) in c.deps.items():
        # Loop over all dependencies of the current node
        for dep in deps:
            # Get the dependency node
            <Cursor was here>
                        # Split deps into two series: one for max values and one for min values
                        max_series = deps.groupby(level=0).max()
                        min_series = deps.groupby(level=0).min()
            
                        # Plot the band using the max and min series
                        plot_band(depfig, min_series, max_series, f"{edge}-{dep}")
            
            plot_band(depfig, )

EDIT: if I select

       # Get the dependency node
       plot_band(depfig, )

Before issuing the edit command it works correctly

I’m seeing the same behavior. I see it happen more towards the late hours of my working/coding sessions, which probably is just by chance.

Does this means it happens if a chat session goes too long?

I just got a chat reply with the wrong indentation as well; the indentation was one level too low. The chat session wasn’t very long.

Hey all,

there is now a new patch release 1.34.3 available for Cody in vs code.
Let me hear if this fixes the issue.

Still broken in PyCharm/Jetbrains:

    def send_reqeust(self, method, params):
        """Send request synchronously"""
       <CURSOR when issuing edit request> 
        def send_reqeust(self, method, params):
                """Send request synchronously"""
                response_event = threading.Event()
                response_data = {}
        
                def handler(response):
                    response_data["result"] = response
                    response_event.set()
        
                self.send_request_async(method, params, handler)
                response_event.wait()
                return response_data.get("result")

(might be a slightly different issue though. My prompt said something along these lines: “Implement this function …”)

It’s usually because the AI generates code without indentation and then it has problems incorporating it into the surrounding indentation, right?
