I’m using VS Code - Insiders and haven’t had an issue until today. I haven’t changed any settings other than updated Cody AI. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting VS Code, etc and still getting this error. I’ve searched and have seen some related posts, but no solution as others have said it just seemed to fix itself.
“Failed to retrieve search context: EvalError: symf failed: Error: Command failed: c:\Users\redacted\AppData\Roaming\Code - Insiders\User\globalStorage\sourcegraph.cody-ai\symf\symf-v0.0.16-x86_64-windows live-query”
I think it was due to too many chats. When I did a delete all, it worked just fine after.

Hey @MPiland Regarding your issue, when did that error appear?
Was it during a long conversation or at the start of a new conversation?
In the follow-up message you said, that it resolved after deleting all history chats, right? Did you restart the IDE between deleting and continue with the chat where the error initially appeared?
Thank you
The error happened on any new chats I tried to start until I deleted the chat history. Once I deleted the chat history, it worked right away without even needing to restart the IDE. I then just started a new chat again with the same prompt (copied-pasted) with no issues since.
That is great information. I will share it directly to the team too.
Thank you.
