If you’re having issues, the first step in the troubleshooting process is to retrieve the logs from your IDE. Use these steps to get the Windsurf plugin logs for each IDE:

​
JetBrains IDEs

Cascade now has the option to generate a diagnostics file directly from the IDE, there are 2 ways to do so:
  • In the Cascade window, click on the 3 dots in the upper right side, and select Download Diagnostics
  • In the IDE menu, go to Tools > Windsurf > Download Windsurf Diagnostics
The first option is preferred since it also includes Cascade embedded browser logs. This button will automatically collect relevant logs and parameters into a text file.In extreme situations, you can always get the IDE full log (idea.log) from Help > Show Log in Explorer/Finder.

​
VS Code

  1. Go to the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P or go to View > Command Palette)
  2. Type in “Show logs” and select the option that reads “Developer: Show Logs”
  3. Change the dropdown in the top right that reads “Extension Host” and select “Windsurf”
  4. You should see something similar to the image below:
  1. Export or copy the logs

​
Eclipse

We no longer distribute or update the Eclipse plugin. These steps apply only to existing installs. In Eclipse, logs are written to the following paths:
  • Mac/Linux: ~/.codeium/codeium.log
  • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\.codeium\codeium.log

​
Visual Studio

Go to view > output, select “Windsurf” in the dropdown, and copy the logs.

​
NeoVim

We no longer distribute or update the NeoVim plugin. These steps apply only to existing installs. Set g:codeium_log_file to a path to a file in your vimrc and then relaunch vim. Then the logs should be written to that file.
