Same here. Using latest VS Code insiders. This is recent too, maybe in the last week. Was working prior to then

I confirm, I have the same problem

confirmed same problem. From a quick inspection, when I run supabase start the pg_meta container shows no exposed port, but the extension seems to Iook for pg_meta at http://l127.0.0.1:54323 which are hardcoded values. It might be useful to expose these to settings.

I'll try to take a look over the weekend.

Since I have another full-time job and I'm not affiliated with Supabase, I can't address it quickly. Thanks for your patience 🙏

Thanks @anas-araid We appreciate you 🙏🏻

any progress on it? thanks!!

I've opened a PR. Since there's no official maintainer to review, merge, and publish the repo, I'll reach out to someone at Supabase

In the meantime, could someone test it to check if everything works correctly?

To run the repo locally:

- git clone [email protected]:supabase-community/supabase-vscode-extension.git
- git checkout 38-could-not-connect-to-local-supabase-project
- npm install
- npm run watch
- Press F5

Thanks!

Works on my side. I can now connect Thanks for the fix @anas-araid 🙏🏻

BTW no idea if this is relevant or not, but I can see this in my console: [default] User selected model gpt-4o-copilot is not in the list of generic models: , falling back to default model.

@anas-araid Do you think you could create a vsix and post it here so we can side-load it while we wait for your PR to be merged?

Awesome @anas-araid Works here 🚀🚀🚀

For newbies like me:

To side-load a VSIX from a GitHub release, follow these steps:

Download the VSIX file from the GitHub release page. For example, you can find the VSIX file for the Supabase VSCode extension at the v0.0.9-alpha release.

Open Visual Studio Code.

Go to the Extensions view by clicking on the Extensions icon in the Activity Bar on the side of the window or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+X.

Click on the three-dot menu at the top-right corner of the Extensions view.

Select "Install from VSIX..." from the dropdown menu.

Navigate to the location where you downloaded the VSIX file, select it, and click "Open".

The extension will be installed, and you should see it listed in the Extensions view.

I've tried this and it still doesn't work. Shows the "Connect" button but when clicked, it disappears.
