Question

Today I tried to use the copilot, but suddenly this error start appearing:

[INFO] [fetch] [2022-05-19T21:00:55.452Z] Please upgrade your Copilot extension to continue using this service.

I tried to uninstall and install again and reload, but nothing happens, anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

There's an error description in the image below:

Answer 1

This can be resolved by upgrading VSCode itself: Help → Check for Updates / Install Available Updates.

You may or may not need to re-install the extension and re-authenticate with git.

Answer 2

In my case (on a mac) I had to do the following:

• Move Visual Studio Code from Downloads to Applications
• Restart
• Update Visual Studio Code
• Sign into Github
• Open extensions and locate Github CoPilot
• Click "Reload Required"
