"failed to load the chat panel" / "loading chat panel" when using ollama

[pshirshov]

I'm trying to set up tabby with ollama. Completions work, but the chat panel in intellij permanently shows "loading chat panel" and the chat panel in vscodium shows the same for a short time and then says "failed to load the chat panel". There is nothing relevant in the extension log, even with trace debug level.

IntelliJ:

vscodium:

the http://localhost:11029/chat url is accessible and always shows this, there are no JS errors nor request failures:

tabby server config:

[model.chat.http]
api_endpoint = "http://localhost:11434/v1"
kind = "openai/chat"
model_name = "huihui_ai/deepseek-r1-abliterated:32b"

[model.completion.http]
api_endpoint = "http://localhost:11434"
kind = "ollama/completion"
model_name = "huihui_ai/qwen2.5-coder-abliterate:14b"
prompt_template = "<|fim_prefix|>{prefix}<|fim_suffix|>{suffix}<|fim_middle|>"

[model.embedding.http]
api_endpoint = "http://localhost:11434"
kind = "ollama/embedding"
model_name = "mxbai-embed-large"

I tried both api_endpoint = "http://localhost:11434/v1" and api_endpoint = "http://localhost:11434"

Hi @pshirshov, could you please check the versions of the Tabby server, IntelliJ Plugin, and VSCode Extension you are using?

This issue may be caused by using an outdated plugin version with a newer server version. Please try updating to the latest versions and see if it resolves the problem.
The latest versions are:

• Tabby server: 0.27.0
• IntelliJ Plugin: 1.13.0
• VSCode Extension: 1.26.0

[pshirshov]

vscodium plugin 1.26.0, intellij plugin 1.13.0, tabby 0.26.0 / 0.27.0, ollama 0.6.2 if that matters.

I had the same problem earlier with intellij plugin. Upgraded to Tabby server 0.29.0. But after upgrade the Tabby chat still never loaded in Intellij. But I then went into the plugin settings, changed to the endpoint url to something incorrect. Saved, then set it back to the correct url, then the chat window magically loaded. Now it's working. Very strange!

https://localhost:8081/chat still never loads on my browser, just FYI. Not sure if it was ever intended to.

My setup:
.\tabby.exe serve --model StarCoder-1B --chat-model Qwen2-1.5B-Instruct --device cuda --port 8081

So it's still not consistently loading. I just rebooted and had to start up my tabby server. Then in intellij tabby chat was hanging again. The working around is to change the endpoint URL to something bogus. Try to connect, then change endpoint back to the correct one, then connection again ... tabby chat then loads fine.

is the homepage answer engine working? you could test it on http://localhost:8081

I am getting this exact problem on v0.31.1. Work around proposed above does not work. I am using the vscode plug in version 1.28.0.

I am running in the same problem with tabby 0.31.2 on intellij tabby version 1.13.0
