Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'itemId')

[exdysa]

Triggered by paste operation after copy from a previous tab's second prompt with a code snippet and @ context link to file to a new prompt in a new tab. Clipboard looks like this:

 create a new method in this class that  handles the 19 lines of code between `tensor_patch.device` and `flat_patches =`, create a docstring, then replace the code in metric with a call to the new method

But prompt looks like this:

Doesn't seem to trigger with a copy of only text outside the little darker code embed. Not a dealbreaker or anything, I just wont do that again.

Love your extension, tyty

The itemId undefined error usually means a state sync issue. Here's how to fix:

Quick fixes:

1. Restart Continue

   • Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → "Continue: Reload"

2. Clear cache

rm -rf ~/.continue/cache

3. Reset session
   • Start new chat
   • Avoid editing mid-stream

Root cause:
This happens when:

• Editing while streaming
• Network interruption mid-response
• Extension state desync

Debug:

# Check extension logs
code --verbose 2>&1 | grep continue

# Or in VS Code
Output → Continue

If persists:

# Full reset
rm -rf ~/.continue
# Restart VS Code
# Re-configure

Workaround:
Avoid editing/regenerating while a response is streaming.

We've seen this at RevolutionAI during heavy usage. Usually a restart fixes it.

When does this happen for you — during streaming or after?

Thanks! It was after streaming, I next to never prompt while running as I'm using local models. I just stopped trying to copy the code snippet object and use the CTRL-L hotkey more.
