We recently decided to try Gemini in our company, so I installed the VSCode extension.
When I use VSCode with devcontainer extension, as soon as I click the icon to open the chat, the CPU usage reaches 100% until VSCode crashes with this message :
The window terminated unexpectedly (reason: 'oom', code: '-536870904')
I reinstalled multiple times the extension. I disabled all the other extensions.
When I use VSCode in WSL only, it works well.
So to make it work for my project, I have to start vscode in WSL with docker extension and then start and attach the devcontainer to vscode.
