Troubleshooting guide for the workshop

General troubleshooting guide can be found here, and this more specific to the workshop.

This is a list of common issues that you might encounter during the workshop. If you are stuck, please check this list.

I am not exactly getting the same result, so I cannot proceed to the next step. What shall I do?

We put the section together at the end in a way that you can copy-and-paste the code if you want to follow along. If you are not getting the same result, please check the section where you can copy-and-paste the code. If you still cannot proceed after the workshop is over, please leave a feedback through the GitHub Discussion page: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/142536

I am getting a following error when I try to connect the front end with REST API endpoint generated with backend: Access to XMLHttpRequest has been blocked by CORS policy

This is a common issue when you are trying to connect the front end with the REST API endpoint. Codespace almost exclusively through VS Code and things like port-forwarding work a lot better. Although you can follow the steps in the workshop, you might find it much easier to switch to your local environment through VS Code. If you are still having issues, please reach out to the GitHub.

My Codespace suddenly stopped responding. What shall I do?

You can stop the Codespace and start it again. If you are still having issues, please reach out to the GitHub.

I am getting a following error in the Copilot Chat: Sorry, the response matched public code so it was blocked. Please rephrase your prompt. What shall I do?

This is a common issue when you are trying to get the code from the Copilot Chat. You can try to rephrase your prompt. If you are still having issues, please reach out to the GitHub.

How can I enable Copilot?

For the workshop, it should be already enabled. If you are trying on your own, please make sure that you have a Copilot license attached to your GitHub account that you are logged in with. Please visit this page to find out more: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/about-github-copilot/subscription-plans-for-github-copilot. If you need any help, please reach out to the GitHub Expert Service team.

Why is this not utilizing Copilot Worspace?

Copilot Workspace is a new GitHub feature that helps to bootstrap a lot of boilerplate codes and generating resources within the repository. We could have started with **Copilot Workspace** but we wanted to show you how to use Copilot in a more traditional way. If you are interested in learning more about Copilot Workspace, please check out the documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/using-github-copilot/using-github-copilot-workspace.

Would I have a same experience if I try this through an IDE?

For the most part, yes. Codespace uses the same editor as Visual Studio Code, so you should have the same experience. However, there are some features that are only available in Codespace, such as the ability to run the code in the cloud. And you might encounter issue with CORS. If you are having issues, please reach out to the GitHub.
