Before submitting your bug report

• I've tried using the "Ask AI" feature on the Continue docs site to see if the docs have an answer
• I believe this is a bug. I'll try to join the Continue Discord for questions
• I'm not able to find an open issue that reports the same bug
• I've seen the troubleshooting guide on the Continue Docs

Relevant environment info

- OS: Windows 11 
- Continue version:1.1.54
- IDE version:VSCode IDE 1.101.2

Description

We are using continue with mistral AI and store query/response in database.

Requirement:
Similarly can we push metadata of active file opened in vscode along with git commit info to an end-point on every chat request submit in continue.

Examples of metadata is as below:

File metadata: Pass None if any value doesn't exist on every submission of chat request.
{ "file": example.txt, "file Path": /usr/home/continue/example.txt, "Created": Tue Jul 16 10:15:42 2024, "Last Modified": Tue Jul 16 10:16:10 2024, "author": xyz, "custom_field": file version}

Git metadata: Pass None if any value doesn't exist on every submission of chat request.
{ "hash": "3f9e1f9b0e8a7a72a64b2d5b7234f8793d3347c2", "author": "Jane Doe", "email": "[email protected]", "date": "Tue Jul 29 10:30:45 2025 +0530", "message": "Fix: correct login validation for empty fields", "branch": "branch": "HEAD -> main", "custom_field1": version 1.0, "custom_field2": version_name }

File metadata is possible in the current dev data.
We have the git repo in autocomplete events though.

[sridattasp]

Thank you. I could find accepted key with true and false for autocomplete.

I have two queries as below:

1. Can we store active 'filepath' open to devdata when user sends request in continue (by default)?
2. Can we also track filepath where the suggested code(or response) from continue copied to?

I see filepath key in chatInteraction.jsonl only for accept/reject events from continue or for autocomplete requests.

we can. seems like a feature request. tagging @TyDunn

@uinstinct @TyDunn Okay, both queries will be considered for feature request and targeted release version?
