[BUG] Annoying output window popup randomly

[divyeshio]

🐛 What happened?

Output window pops up randomly, even though I dismiss it several times.

🔄 Steps to reproduce

1. Just send a request

✅ What did you expect?

I expect the window to stay closed.

🖥️ Environment

• Extension version: 0.3.4
• VS Code version: 1.127.0
• Provider: all
• Model: all

📸 Logs or screenshots (optional)

I believe this is happening due to these lines -

opencode-copilot-chat/src/extension.ts

Line 1280 in 7b20a20

this.getOutputChannel().show(true);

opencode-copilot-chat/src/extension.ts

Line 1291 in 7b20a20

this.getOutputChannel().show(true);

That's explain a lot... I was thinking that i was crazy and not remembering to change to the output.

fyi this is fixed in PR #68, already merged to main. we removed all 3 getOutputChannel().show(true) calls that were causing the random popups. the output channel still works fine, it just won't force itself open anymore.

thanks @Wallacy for reporting this and fixing it in the same PR 🙏

closing this one since it's resolved.

Thank you @Wallacy @ltmoerdani for the work you've been doing. When will this fix be released?

[ltmoerdani]

@divyeshio , this shipped in v0.3.5 already! update the extension and the random popup should be gone. let us know if it comes back though 🙏

[divyeshio]

@ltmoerdani There are still few cases when it pops up for example stopping an ongoing chat, or sending stop and send message immediately.

[ltmoerdani]

@divyeshio are you on v0.3.7? The popup fix went out in v0.3.5, so if you updated recently you should already have it.

If the popup still shows up when you hit stop or stop+send quickly, I need three things:

1. The version number from your Extensions panel (just to confirm)
2. Which model you had selected
3. Whatever the OpenCode output channel logged. To check: View > Output, pick "OpenCode" from the dropdown, grab the last 5 to 10 lines.

That should tell me if it's the same bug or something new.

1. Yes, I'm on v0.3.7

2. It happens with every model, the one I'm using is deepseek-v4-flash-free

The problem is the options.output?.show(true) from streamChatCompletions (line 110);

I will fix this on a follow-up PR.
