AI: unable to add selection to context for unsaved/untitled buffers without a filename

[hmemcpy]

Summary

I wanted to run a quick AI-assisted fixup for some json. I created a new buffer, pasted the text, manually selected the language to be Json.

I selected the relevant part of the json, and tried to use the AI panel, but it wouldn't add the selection to the context. Only after saving the file I was able to use it (with or without selection)

Description

Steps to trigger the problem:

1. Create a new untitled buffer
2. Select some text, try adding it to the AI context via Selection

Actual Behavior: Nothing is added to the AI context

Expected Behavior: Selected text is added to the AI context even for an unsaved buffer without a filename.

I can reproduce. Thanks for reporting. Steps to reproduce:

cmd-n (new buffer) type something: foobar cmd-a (select all) cmd-shift-> (assistant: quote selection) Result: No-op

cmd-s (save) and specify a filename cmd-shift-> Result: Works as expected

Closing this as it seems to be fixed/working already!
