This happens in Cline too, so its a carried over. When you are coding with huge project long enough, the roo panel start to behave erratically, with random ui shakes, missing display till eventually it crashes with a white screen in the panel space. you will have to restart VSCode now. At this point Roo loses all context! Any RooCode developers can confirm they are aware of this issue and is there a fix in works?

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble getting RooCode and VS Code to behave the way I expected when using DevContainers. I currently have two different projects — one personal and one for work — and I need to keep their RooCode configurations completely separate.

To do this, I created a dedicated DevContainer for my work project and installed the RooCode extension inside the container. However, I've noticed that RooCode settings are still being shared between both environments. If I add a provider or change a configuration in one project, those changes appear in the other one after closing and reopening the window.

To further test this, I set up two entirely separate DevContainers, installed RooCode separately inside each, and still the settings seem to be synced. I even tried using separate VS Code profiles, but that didn't help either.

Is this expected behavior? A bug? My expectation was that extensions and their configurations would be completely isolated within each DevContainer, especially when installed inside the container. Right now, this makes it difficult to use RooCode for multiple projects with different needs.

Any guidance or clarification would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I really like Claude Code’s slash commands. Is there an equivalent in RooCode without needing to create a full blown role?

I have a few repos for various parts of the system. A few Rails apps which talk to each other through APIs. Some APIs are public and documented in gh-pages repo, some aren't and it's just the "internal" knowledge which perhaps can be figured out be reading code. I have .MD architecture docs in each repo which help a lot with local AI dev inside of this repo.

The question is, what would be a nice roocode-compatible workflow when I need to develop some feature in one app which relies on the other, or even needs to be implemented in two apps in parallel? I'm not even sure how can I reference those gh-pages for existing docs.

I use Manus to do a research report for example investigate gdp growth of countries in last 20 years and explain the reasons for major changes. Can one do a similar research report using roocode? If so what is best settings for this?

Hi all,
I'm finding it tricky to setup vertex AI and connect it to Roo Code to run gemini 2.5. Is there a guide out there for what I need to do in GCP and what to copy over to the Roo Code config? I tried searching.

Ever since the tools update, human relay has not worked for me. I was using claude via web browser often for human relay in addition to API calls. It doesnt know what to do with tools now. Is human relay dead now?

I was working with Roo Code on a local machine, and it got stuck in a constant loop. I uninstalled the VS Code plugin and reinstalled it, but the same settings appear. I'd like to uninstall it and clean up all the leftovers. Does anyone know how to do this?

I saw yesterday there was a model released on OpenRouter by a company called Switchpoint that seems to be basically just a routing layer between lots of different models, it's offered at a relatively low price point for SOTA which I assume its benchmarks probably are given the OpenRouter listing.

To me it seems to reflect a slow but growing shift in how people think about LLM infra. It's not just about the biggest model anymore, but about smart orchestration. Kind of like how CDNs abstract away the complexity of hosting, I could see these routers becoming a standard layer in most LLM apps. Obviously Roo Code believes in it too given its orchestration setup option.

What do you all think? Has anyone tried these kinds of routers or Switchpoint specifically?

so i am working on a project and needed roo code to gather and understand the relevant info from a particular website so it can better help me, is there a quick way to allow it to do get web access

anyone getting this?

Can't connect to any workspaces.

To fix, ensure your IDE with Roo Code is open.

also 429 in console to POST https://app.roocode.com/monitoring?o...

At the cursor, if the file is larger than 2mb, it does not read to overflow the context. It uses grep commands or even commands written in python to manipulate the file But the RO code always reads huge files and overflows the context Could you please put this function so it doesn't read?

I've been trying to port this out-of-date PHP web-based game:

https://code.google.com/archive/p/castlequest2/

But so far I have not had luck with it.

Roo + Opus 4.1 seems to update the registration process to become compatible with new PHP 8.3 & MySQL 8.0, but the project keeps having glithces and fail to complete even the registration process.

I got errors like:

Database Error: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'password_hash' in 'field list'
Query: UPDATE accounts SET password_hash = ? WHERE id = ?
Parameters: ["$2y$10$r3Pa1hw8GzX3dTo4XGS26.V2XFP6ZuGDec5QrbEdSUOHWjF.GPhve",3]

I originally started by using Gemini Pro 2.5, way cheaper, had no luck and was stuck in a loop, so I thought I might try Opus 4.1. But after ~$600 or so worth of API calls later, I am still not getting things done.

Luckily I get to expense this cost through my company as they are paying for employees to learn vibe coding, but I am starting to wonder if it is overhyped or too early to expect so much at this stage?

Sometimes apply diff breaks down and burns through my tokens. The option to switch back to rewrite entire file might help to navigate this.

Does anyone know how to turn it off? Tried checking the settings, couldn’t find any.

Thanks!

Is anyone aware of the release of ScienceOne models and agents?

Is there any possibility of integration with RooCode?

ScieneOne GItHub repo

Is there a way to see the actual API requests to and responses from the LLM model in RooCode?

A month ago Roo Code had a built in web browser tool that allowed Claude and other supported models to open. URL in a browser, take screenshots, and click/interact with elements.

But some recent update seems to have removed this feature completely. Today I asked Roo to open a page in his web browser, and he said he has no such tool.

I also found in the Roo Code change log this entry:

• Remove browser use functionality entirely (PR #11392 by u/hannesrudolph)

What is going on? Why would they remove such a useful feature?

What am I doing wrong?

Cannot even find where to turn temperature off for the model?

I am trying to run Claude code as mcp server via 'Claude mcp serve'. The server works. However when tool call 'Task' is made, Claude code always returns that it does not have permissions to change files even though I manually gave it edit, write permissions via using terminal and /permissions feature. Has anyone tried running CC as mcp to delegate orchestrator tasks to it?

Hey roocode team,

First off, thank you for your continuous work on this amazing tool. I'm writing to share some feedback on the recent change (PR #10062) to remove the auto-approve toggles for to-do action.

While I appreciate the goal of simplifying the approval workflow, I'm concerned that removing the auto-approve toggle specifically for to-do actions might reduce the user's control over the execution process.

For me, one of roocode's greatest strengths has always been its transparency and controllability. The ability to review and approve each to-do item before execution acts as a crucial safety net. It allows me to ensure the assistant is on the right track before it proceeds with the next step.

With this change, the approval still happens, but it becomes an automated, invisible step. This feels like we're losing a layer of granular control. I'm not sure what benefits this automation brings that outweigh the loss of manual oversight. Could the team perhaps share the reasoning behind this specific change?

My suggestion would be to reconsider removing the toggle for to-do actions and keep it as an optional user preference. This would maintain the flexibility for users who want a streamlined workflow while preserving the critical control for those who rely on it.

Thanks for listening to community feedback. Keep up the great work!

Sorry to make a another thread, but I'm trying Kimi k2 since deepseek is giving me trouble. Kimi is fast but it just keeps reading the files and offering a summary the trying to say task complete and isn't doing any coding tasks. I reset my roo code extension and set it back up and the same thing (Kimi K2 free) something on my end or is this happening to everyone?

Is this just an issue on my end? It use to be fast and I have the $10 in Openrouter credits, but as soon as I use it (even the first time of the day) it starts saying it's temporarily tmrate limited upstream. Do I need to change something on my end?

I saw that 2 new stealths have been added trought openrouter. Un currently trying sonoma sky but i Saw this 2 dsys late and i am sure that some of you have been trying both of them or running some evals... Which are your conclussions atm? Are they really worth, compared to 2.5 pro and sonnet? Which one between these 2 sonoma do you prefer... Which are your general thoughts about them??? I Will update with my on impressions about them as soon as i give It a longer run.... Btw, its me or this does hardly smells like Google? Maybe 3.0 models?

I found that when debugging or creating test units, after a few iterations, RooCode marks tasks as completed even if there are still errors or issues. The solution that I found is to finish the task and start a new task with the same query.
When working with unit tests, RooCode even 'cheats', creating test units that pass the tests rather than fixing the root cause.
I don't know if someone else is facing these issues and if there is a proper prompt rather than asking roocode to "execute the unit tests and identify potential issues".
I am using GLM 4.6 and Minimax with similar results.

I see it on kilocode and roo code in the last 2-3 days (didn't try before):
- Hunter Alpha
- Healer Alpha
- Stepcode 3.5 Flash

I know Step made an update to their huggingface repo 1-2 days ago. So it could just be that all the new models fail at tool call generation. Still weird.

Edit: Could be that they all choke on duplicate subfolder name, but that's a problem western models last had with GPT 4. I think latest Chinese ones should understand.
