Describe the Bug

When I use the command to generate a commit message the error "An error occurred. a.diff is not a function" is thrown

Please tell us if you have customized any of the extension settings or whether you are using the defaults.

I'm using model gpt-4-1106-preview

This bug seems to happen when the github copilot extension is installed.

I haven't installed the github copilot extension, but the same error occurs.

When I upgraded to the latest version of VS Code, this issue appeared. The current version of VS Code is 1.86.0.

I have the same issue

This is still an issue. Are there any further suggestions? My VS Code version is 1.86.1. This issue seemed to have happened when OpenAI released their new gpt-4-0125-preview model.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled and still get the error. I've also done the same, but between reinstalling, went to the %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions directory and deleted the GenieAI folder. Still the same error appears - and my API key was remembered so I think even then there are left over packages somewhere.

Looks like for the time being I'll have to write my own commit messages 😭😂

I think this thread should contain the exact error message (with the misspelling), so people searching for the error actually get directed here: An error occured. a.diff is not a function

Bump, exact issue I'm getting. Additionally the Lightning Bolt in the commit message box is also missing. I did notice that there is another Generate Commit Message (Experimental) option in the menu which asks for my OpenAI api key which I don't remember being there before. I also did not install CoPilot.

You can temporarily use the command Ctrl+Shift+P to input "Genie: Generate a commit message" to get the commit message, and wait for the updated version.

This should now be fixed in v0.0.11 Please update your extension.

Visual Studio Code has disabled access to quick action button in the textbox. Instead you could use:

1. ctrl+shift+p and run Genie: Generate a commit message command
2. Or use the menu item under the source control like this:
