Troubleshooting

Common issues and how to resolve them

Common Issues

"Not signed in" but I signed in

Cause: Token may have expired or been revoked.

Fix:

  1. Click "Sign Out" in Panel Todo
  2. Click "Sign In" again
  3. Complete the device code flow

MCP tools not working

Cause: MCP server not configured or token invalid.

Fix:

  1. Check status: panelTodo_status()
  2. Reconfigure: panelTodo_configure({ projectId: "...", token: "..." })
  3. Create a new API token if needed

Sync not working

Cause: Network issues or authentication problem.

Fix:

  1. Check internet connection
  2. Look for sync indicator in Panel Todo
  3. Try signing out and back in
  4. Check status.panel-todo.com

Local todos disappeared

Cause: Workspace changed or VS Code storage cleared.

Fix:

  • Local todos are workspace-specific - check you're in the right folder
  • If you moved/renamed the folder, todos may be lost
  • Consider upgrading to Pro for cloud backup

"Project not found"

Cause: Wrong project ID or project deleted.

Fix:

  1. List projects: panelTodo_listProjects()
  2. Verify the project ID
  3. Switch to correct project: panelTodo_switchProject({ projectId: "..." })

Can't sign in - "Device code expired"

Cause: Took too long to enter the code.

Fix:

  1. Start the sign-in process again
  2. Enter the code within 15 minutes

Extension not loading

Fix:

  1. Check VS Code version (requires 1.75+)
  2. Reload VS Code window (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → "Reload Window")
  3. Reinstall extension if needed
