Description

Using the slash command /so to search stack overflow gives an error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map').

To reproduce

Try running the /so command and if it isn't reproducible, we can track down what is wrong on my end.

Thanks for pointing this out. We intend to replace the /so command with an improved "web" context provider, so I'm going to leave this open but note that it's not something that we'll directly fix other than removing the slash command entirely. I'll let you know when web is ready!

[FurtherAI]

Sounds good

PR Open to remove stack overflow provider

@FurtherAI WebContextProvider is now available in prerelease

To use, add it to your config.json like:

{
    ...,
    "contextProviders": [
        ...,
        {
            "name": "web",
            "params": {}
        },
     ]

Then, you can type @web followed by a search query

See code: https://github.com/continuedev/continue/blob/dev/core/context/providers/WebContextProvider.ts

If you want to keep the more specific Stack Overflow context provider, you can refactor it as a custom context provider

WebContextProvider now also available in release for JetBrains and VSCode. Tried it out and it works absolutely fine. In my case, I have to pay attention that the context window is not used up completely because then the answer from the LLM is rubbish.
