Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with my Github Copilot.

In one of my solutions, Copilot does not work while it does in others.

I have this call stack in Copilot output window:
[CopilotExclusionService Error] Failed to check if the workspace has any exclusion rules. All files will be excluded. System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCanceledException: A task was canceled. at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading.ReentrantSemaphore.NotAllowedSemaphore.<ExecuteAsync>d__31.MoveNext()

And I can't find anything on web.

I'm running with Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Version 17.11.5.
And Github Copilot - Version 0.2.1657.32929

Does anyone know where it could come from?

Thanks!

I'm seeing the same thing (VisualStudio.17.Preview/17.12.0-pre.2.1+35323.107). Chats inline with Alt+/ and through the GitHub Copilot Chat tool window are unresponsive. This error is shown in the GitHub Copilot Output tool window.
