Can you pls provide a screenshot of the confirmation dialog you're seeing?
Can you pls provide a screenshot of the confirmation dialog you're seeing?
when the popup appears, and i click it, to get focus into vscode, it's always auto-accepted. so i was unable to take screenshots.
I'm also seeing this. To clarify, the issue is that the notification informing the user that they need to approve a command still comes up even though the command has auto-approve enabled and it has already been auto-approved.
Approval notification:
Clicking on it, it's already been approved:
This may be more relevant to the microsoft/vscode-copilot-chat repo, but I didn't see much in the way of issues in there.
Thanks, makes sense. If the command is auto approved, we should not show the notification chat.notifyWindowOnConfirmation.
