When the model gets stuck in a repetitive loop (repeating the same tool call or not using tools), user messages sent during this time are queued but never processed because the model keeps receiving the same error feedback. This fix adds queue processing at two critical points: 1. In Task.ts when consecutiveNoToolUseCount >= 2: Check for queued messages and inject them as user feedback to break the loop. 2. In presentAssistantMessage.ts when tool repetition is detected: Check for queued messages before asking the user, allowing previously queued messages to provide the intervention needed. Both fixes reset the mistake counters when user guidance is received, giving the model a fresh start with the user-provided direction. Fixes #10814 |

Local Setup & Development
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code.git
- Install dependencies:
pnpm install
- Run the extension:
There are several ways to run the Roo Code extension:
Development Mode (F5)
For active development, use VSCode's built-in debugging:
Press F5 (or go to Run → Start Debugging) in VSCode. This will open a new VSCode window with the Roo Code extension running.
- Changes to the webview will appear immediately.
- Changes to the core extension will also hot reload automatically.
Automated VSIX Installation
To build and install the extension as a VSIX package directly into VSCode:
pnpm install:vsix [-y] [--editor=<command>]
This command will:
- Ask which editor command to use (code/cursor/code-insiders) - defaults to 'code'
- Uninstall any existing version of the extension.
- Build the latest VSIX package.
- Install the newly built VSIX.
- Prompt you to restart VS Code for changes to take effect.
Options:
-y: Skip all confirmation prompts and use defaults--editor=<command>: Specify the editor command (e.g.,--editor=cursoror--editor=code-insiders)
Manual VSIX Installation
If you prefer to install the VSIX package manually:
- First, build the VSIX package:
pnpm vsix - A
.vsixfile will be generated in thebin/directory (e.g.,bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix). - Install it manually using the VSCode CLI:
code --install-extension bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix
