Cannot Save File
Type: Bug
Whenever attempting to save a file, I keep getting this notification on the bottom that doesn't go away: Saving 'filename.go': Getting code actions from "Go','Github Copilot Chat" (configure). After waiting for a while, the file still does not save. Only encountering this on my Surface Laptop with the Snapdragon X processor

I have the same issue on GitHub Copilot extension version: v1.213.0
VS Code Version: 1.91.1 (Universal) Commit: f1e16e1e6214d7c44d078b1f0607b2388f29d729 Date: 2024-07-09T22:07:54.982Z (2 days ago) Electron: 29.4.0 ElectronBuildId: 9728852 Chromium: 122.0.6261.156 Node.js: 20.9.0 V8: 12.2.281.27-electron.0 OS: Darwin x64 23.5.0
macOS: Sosoma version 14.5
In my case I think the issue is caused by ESLint I did the following:
- I have disabled GitHub Copilot extension and I still got the issue.
- Then I disabled all my extensions from VS code and I did not got the problem anymore
- I enabled only GIthub Copilot and everything was fine, I could save the file
- I enabled ESLint extension then the issue started to creep up again. I got ESLint version 3.0.10
- I disabled again GitHub Copilot extension and I still got the issue, so it's ESLint extension the culprit (I'll raise an issue on their page)
this has been an ongoing issue :( I've been seeing this happen mostly from eslint as @eianc mentioned, but I don't have a reliable repro.
maybe @dbaeumer has a good repro or idea of what might be going on?
This is mostly an issue with eslint itself. There is an issue to help analyze this: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-eslint/issues/1344 and how to file an issue against ESLint if none of the proposed solutions help.
A colleague of mine just started getting the same issue with a new Mac. When he used Ubuntu or Windows he did not get the issue. It's strange that on other codebases that I'm working on I don't get the issue, only on a monorepo setup with Lerna I'm getting it.
I also experience this issue regularly. Same message at the bottom (Saving '....html': Getting code actions from "GitHub Copilot Chat" (configure). It is a recurring issue that seems to be related to closing the lid of my MacBook over the weekend and returning on Monday. I assume that the Copilot Extension has an issue with the MacBook going into sleep mode for a longer period. So far, I restarted VSCode to get rid of the problem. This time, I only restarted the Copilot Extensions and this seems to resolve the issue. At least I could save the modified HTML file.
However, my understanding is that a text editor MUST NEVER loose any files, so regardless of the problem I would recommend to look into ways to implement an exception handler that ensures that the files are saved as a backup at least.

Happens to me very often. I feel like it should not prevent saving the file In my case is the GitHub Copilot Chat extension causing it
Happens to me very often. GitHub Copilot chat might be causing it. My work around is to ctrl + shift + P then Developer: Reload Window It is warning me then what the issue is "Saving text files. Do you want to proceed anyway?" I click yes and I am all good.
Same issue here. If I have the chat window open and I save it takes minutes. It shows me: Code Actions - organizing imports. Reloading window without extensions and then reloading extensions is fixing it for me until a new chat request.
Facing this issue too; seems like this was raised before but closed https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-release/issues/1230
It definitely is something related to Copilot because disabling the extension allows saving as normal, with the same settings as before.
For me, workspace settings has:
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.fixAll": "explicit"
},
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
User settings has:
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.fixAll": "never",
"source.organizeImports": "never"
},
"editor.formatOnSave": false,
"github.copilot.editor.enableCodeActions": false
