Clicking "auto commit message" collapses side bar about auto-commit-msg

[alexandrupetrini]

also, what happens if you use CTRL+SHIFT+P to access the command prompt and then choose Auto Commit Message? See if that still gives the problem.

Basically it does not do anything.
The most important thing to notice here is that I use multi-folder workspaces.

Although it is acceptable to not run via command when a multi-folder workspace setup is in place, I still think it should work well when you click on the actual icon.

I have this issue too, it sort of crashes

I notice that this does not happen if I click out of focus of the sidebar (for example If the focus is still on the text document). But If I click in the input box of the commit and then on the auto commit message button, it collapses the sidebar

is this still an issue? I haven't seen it before.

I think I encountered it again this week (I use another ext because of that).
The problem is when you move the scm to the second panel. When you click on it, it will close it.

I have nothing to go on here to see what error there might be or what extension it could be clashing with.

Can you setup the repo and run with the Debug mode so it opens the extension in a window? Then see if it can happen there - then check the Debug tab of the first window and see if there is an error there.

I am sorry, I still don't understand problem.

The multi folder workspace worked fine for me in the past (on Linux) and I retested it today (Windows and WSL Ubuntu) and that works fine for me.

The extension button works fine for both without closing the sidebar. There are two extension icons in view here and they both created the commit message text.

if you use the VS Code command prompt it defaults to the first repo.

Then it is an issue from other extensions I have installed. I remember I tried another similar extension and it behaved the same way.

I also tried to run git-autocommit in debug mode but I couldn't figure it. I had a cold and couldn't get my thoughts straight then.

Ok, I managed to spot the obvious (found the debug 😁 ) and I am able to provide some relevant feedback:

Case1:

• Extension ran once and generated the message
• Click on button
• Secondary sidebar closes
  Output looks like this:

Case2:

• Extension ran once and generated the message
• Delete message text
• Click on button
• Secondary sidebar closes

It really does not matter if the file is staged or not:

I hope this helps.

Thanks
