Were you using Copilot Edits, Chat, something else? Can you be a little more specific about what the request/response were? |
|
Thank you for your e-mail
After recent changes suggested by: GitHub CoPilot Chat, I was getting a 404 function on loading the page.
I submitted the relevant top section of the server.js file plus the top of the front end login.js file and asked what might be causing the error. In the response, Chat returned the exact same code I had originally presented in my question. Including this summary:
Summary
Ensure Endpoint Definition: Verify that the /api/getState endpoint is correctly defined in server.js.
Check Route Configuration: Ensure that the route configuration in server.js is correct and that the routes are properly set up to handle the /api/getState request.
Verify Client-Side Request: Ensure that the client-side code is making the correct request to the /api/getState endpoint.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the 404 Not Found error and ensure that the /api/getState endpoint is correctly handled by the server.
It did not notice that the problem was in the logic as the loadSate function was called in the opening DOMContentLoaded function, when no previous state had been saved. I deleted the line calling the loadState function and the error was resolved. The offending code had been previously presented by GitHub Chat.
It also includes the deprecated functions such as the deprecated document ready function instead of:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
and it does this repeatedly, never learning from previous errors. It recently recommended that I load the npm package csurf, which is deprecated and has 2 vulnerabilities, instead of the current csrf package, which leads me to believe that its reference data for JavaScript is out of date, which is the disappointing for a paid service.
I'm trying to understand how much the in line GitHub CoPilot understands about the context of a fairly complex project like the one I am developing. It comes up with some very good relevant comment suggestions, which I frequently adopt. Lines of code are often very quickly completed, as I start to type, which is great, but I would like to know how much it can grasp the whole context of the project. It’s called GitHub CoPilot, so i wonder if it has access to my GitHub repository? Also, how much the in line CoPilot differs from the Chat in the sidebar, if at all. Some better information about its capabilities and limitations would be helpful.

Thanks for the details. I'm going to close this under #2628 which covers these issues with it repeating the same response or not learning from the context |

Type: Bug
GutHub Chat was asked to check a 714 line, front end, login.js file, to see if the state of the page was being saved the correct way in the right places. Instead of keeping the response to a simple yes or no then making specific changes, it returned the whole file. However, it got to line 508, then started the file again, in the middle of a dynamic html section of code, with the DOMContent loaded function as below:
tableRows += `
${order[i].ProdDesc}
£ ${(order[i].Price).toFixed(2)}
<td styledocument.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
const codeElement = document.getElementById('guestBarcode');
it then ran out at line 959 in the middle of a function.
This is not the first time GutHub Chat has done this.
