I’m having trouble with the Blackbox AI extension in Visual Studio Code. Every time I try to use it for any coding task or question, I get an error that says API streaming failed.
I’ve already tried these troubleshooting steps:
Cleared all cache files from the AppData\Roaming\Code\Cache directory
Removed cache data from the .vscode folder
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled VSCode
Reinstalled the Blackbox extension after the fresh install
None of these solutions worked for me. The error keeps appearing whenever I attempt to interact with the AI agent. Has anyone else encountered this problem? What other fixes should I try to get the extension working properly?
totally get ur frustation, had similar issues. turned out my firewall was blocking it. maybe try turning it off for a bit or make sure vscode is whitelisted. also, check ur wifi, weak connections really send those streams down.
Check your proxy settings if you’re on a corporate network or VPN. This streaming error usually happens when the extension can’t connect to Blackbox servers through restricted networks. Had the same problem at work - IT fixed it by adding proxy exceptions for the extension. Also check if your antivirus is blocking it. Some security software blocks requests from code editors by default. Try disabling it temporarily to see if that fixes the streaming issue.
