Hello, I have enabled automatic checkpoints and yet it is not working on MacOS Gemini 2.5 Pro on the latest version. I've enabled and disabled it multiple times and yet facing the same issue. Can someone help?
#Checkpoints not working on Gemini 2.5 Pro model on MacOS

When you say not working - what is broken about them?
Do checkpoints not show up or are they there but dont' work
lethal wharf
Checkpoints don't show up itself. The checkpoints button isn't there so I can't click it and revert. It's like it's disabled.

Could you share a screenshot? I'll share with out team

Yes, we definitely need a screenshot. Also, please state your OS, IDE and plugin versions (there were some changes about checkpoints very recently)

What screenshot do you require? I am using MacOS and Macbook Pro 14 inch and using Kilocode latest version in VSCode latest stable version. I will provide the exact details for everything soon. @rugged coral @abstract galleon

I'm interested in what it looks like - is the button there and disabled or not there at all?
Just trying to figure out how to figure it out
lethal wharf
@rugged coral There is no button at all to revert to previous version. It was working correctly in windows when I tested a month ago but it's not working on MacOS.

That's so odd. I'
I've never seen that
Which provider were you using? Kilo Code's or some other provider?

I am using Gemini 2.5 pro api key @rugged coral
What details or data do you need and can you guide me how to provide it to you? @rugged coral

the best would be a screenshot... curious about this one...
lethal wharf
This is how it looks and there is no checkpoint ever saved I can't understand why that occurs.

here is a screenshot example from my machine - it shows the initial prompt, the Intial Checkpoint row, and then the Gemini model in bottom. coudl you provide a similar screenshot?
solid token
indeed it doesn't 🙂 what do you have for checkpoint settings and about kilo settings?
lethal wharf
Checkpoints is enabled as well.

and the checkpoints appear for other models?
lethal wharf
I haven't tested it for other models as I don't have it's API keys, I am sure that it's not appearing for Gemini models. @solid token

found a major clue in logs.... checkpoints will only work in VSCode if you have a folder currently open, can you open a folder/workspace in VSCode and try again?
i tested it with google/gemini and only individual files open in VSCode (no checkpoints are created with error [Task#getCheckpointService] workspace folder not found, disabling checkpoints) then opening a folder in VSCode - checkpoints are created normally
lethal wharf
I am working with git directory hence I already have a folder open with git initialized. @solid token

any chance you can show editor view screenshot?
lethal wharf
What do you mean by it?

explorer tab in VSCode -

Ah it got fixed, I know why this was happening. If you have monorepo configuration or in any way a folder inside the current directory then checkpoints are not created. I was scratching my head over this for like 10 days and got it working now.
lethal wharf
Yeah I was confused why that was happening. Sorry for the trouble though I don't think this should occur.
