Failed to retrieve search context: EvalError: symf failed: Error: spawn ENAMETOOLONG

Hello,
Probably after extension update I got this error for all prompts.

Failed to retrieve search context: EvalError: symf failed: Error: spawn ENAMETOOLONG

I’m not able to use cody anymore in my vs code. Can you propose fix please?

I tried reboot, also switch to pre-release version. But it didn’t help.

Hey @deeppresentation

Please completely de-install and re-install Cody. The issue seems related to the ‘symf’ binary for indexing the local repository.

If you’ll run into any issue, I appreciate feedback.

Thank you.

Hey @PriNova,
Thank you. I found that that is only happening when there is a all project placeholder in prompt. Don’t I loose some cody knowledge about a project by uninstalling it?

You will may loose the chat history. The last time I uninstalled and re-installed it, the chat history remained.
