AI Coding Assistant Lingma:Terminal execution exceptions

Method 1: Upgrade VSCode

Please check your VSCode version to ensure it is 1.93 or above:

1. Open VSCode.

2. Press Cmd + Shift + P (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows/Linux).

3. Type Code: Check for Updates, then select it.

4. Restart VSCode after the update is complete.

Method 2: Configure a supported VSCode Shell

1. Open VSCode.

2. Press Cmd + Shift + P (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows/Linux).

3. Type Terminal: Select Default Profile, then select it.

4. Choose a supported Shell:

   • Linux/macOS: bash, fish, pwsh, zsh

   • Windows: Git Bash, pwsh

5. Completely exit VSCode, then reopen it.

Method 3: Manually install Shell integration

If you still encounter issues after trying the above troubleshooting steps, you can try to manually install Shell integration.

For example, if you use zsh:

1. Add the following line to your ~/.zshrc file:

   [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "vscode" ]] && . "$(code --locate-shell-integration-path zsh)"

2. Save the file.

3. Completely exit VSCode, then reopen it.

   If you use Bash (~/.bashrc):

[[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "vscode" ]] && . "$(code --locate-shell-integration-path bash)"

If you use PowerShell ($Profile):

if ($env:TERM_PROGRAM -eq "vscode") { . "$(code --locate-shell-integration-path pwsh)" }

If you use Fish (~/.config/fish/config.fish):

string match -q "$TERM_PROGRAM" "vscode"; and . (code --locate-shell-integration-path fish)

If you use other types of Shell, refer to the documentation: Manual installation of Shell integration.

Git Bash

You can try using Git Bash. Git Bash provides a Unix-like command line experience on Windows. To use Git Bash, you need to:

1. Download and run the Git for Windows installer from https://git-scm.com/downloads/win.

2. Exit and reopen VSCode.

3. Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette.

4. Type Terminal: Select Default Profile, then select it.

5. Choose "Git Bash".

PowerShell

If you still want to use PowerShell, make sure you are using an updated version (at least v7+).

• Check your current PowerShell version by running the following command: $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

• If your version is lower than 7, please update PowerShell.

By default, PowerShell restricts script execution for security reasons. You may also need to adjust PowerShell's execution policy:

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator: Press Win + X and select "Windows PowerShell (Administrator)" or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)".

2. Check the current execution policy by running the following command:

   Get-ExecutionPolicy

   • If the output is already RemoteSigned, Unrestricted, or Bypass, you may not need to change the execution policy. These policies should allow Shell integration to work properly.

   • If the output is Restricted or AllSigned, you may need to change the policy to enable Shell integration.

3. Change the execution policy by running the following command:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

   This will set the RemoteSigned policy only for the current user, which is safer than a system-wide change.

4. Confirm the change: Type Y at the prompt and press Enter.

5. Verify the policy change: Run Get-ExecutionPolicy again to confirm the new setting.

6. Restart VSCode and try Shell integration again.

WSL

If you use WSL, try adding . "$(code --locate-shell-integration-path bash)" to your ~/.bashrc, then restart and try again.

Terminal output exceptions

If you see abnormal output with rectangles, lines, escape sequences, or control characters, this may be related to terminal customization tools. Common culprits include the following: Powerlevel10k (a zsh theme that adds visual elements to the prompt), Oh My Zsh, Fish shell themes, etc.

How to troubleshoot:

1. Temporarily disable these tools in your Shell configuration file (for example, the ~/.zshrc file for Zsh).

2. If the problem is resolved, gradually re-enable features to identify the conflicting tool.

For example, if you use Powerlevel10k in Zsh, you can disable it by commenting out the relevant lines in your ~/.zshrc file:

# Comment out the source line for Powerlevel10k
# source /path/to/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme

If disabling these customizations solves the problem, you may need to find alternative configurations that are compatible with the VSCode Shell integration feature.
