Tips for debugging Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'repository')

[Stuart Hinson]

Recently have been seeing the error

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'repository')

when invoking the plugin. Any tips on debugging?

Thanks @kahole ! Looks like it's related to the vscode insiders build as everything is good in the normal channel. If you're curious

Interesting. This means there might be a breaking API change coming up
