[pkbullock]

Describe the bug

I'm following this article, there are a few things missing from my version of Visual Studio 2022 ARM64 edition (see screenshot below for build details)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/messaging-extensions/build-bot-based-plugin?tabs=visual-studio

The Preview Features section is missing, I do not see the section at all.

When the project has created, I cannot see the context menu for Teams Toolkit at all.

On Creation:

At this point the project may not be fully created after this error.

VS Code Extension Information (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11 ARM 64 Dev Channel (Insiders)
• Version: 26120.1843

Hi @pkbullock , Thanks for reporting this issue. I am the PM of Teams Toolkit. The preview features setting is not under Teams Toolkit section in Tools-> Options menu. Could you please try to search "preview" keyword in Options menu like below picture:

Then you can see the Teams Toolkit: develop Copilot plugin feature flag. If you still cannot see, let me know.

And noticed that you are working on Windows 11 developer insider channel, which is not in our full tested system list. Could you also try to switch to Windows Home, Enterprise or Education OS and try again?

If you have follow-up questions welcome to continuously comment in this post, I will keep this open and looking forward to hearing from you. In case necessary I will involve our engineer to investigate. Thanks for contacting!

Hi @summzhan - I will be unable in the short term to change my windows build as it will require a full re-install of Windows.

However for the other instructions, I have tried and cannot find the settings for Copilot:
Interestingly my option dialog looks different to your i.e. not in a tab.

I've had some issues with my Windows OS, so will be moving to a pre-release version, will post here if there are any changes in settings.

Hi @summzhan - I have recently replaced my OS and re-installed Teams Toolkit/ Visual Studio as above, but the error is still coming.

Windows Build:

• During the scaffolding process, I'm still getting the exception as above specifically there was for the first time a pop up for the Teams Toolkit Server, then the exception occurred.
• Additionally, the Copilot option is still missing within options.

Thanks for reinstallation. Could you please also provide your VS pre-release Version for
us to investigate? @yuqizhou77 here to help investigate on the preview feature flag missing issue.

For the error occurred on creation, could you try uncheck the option "Place solution and project in the same directory", since this looks similar to issue #11961

Please give us more time to analyze the root cause, I will keep you posted. Thanks for you patience!

Any updates on this?

Thanks for reinstallation. Could you please also provide your VS pre-release Version for
us to investigate? @yuqizhou77 here to help investigate on the preview feature flag missing issue.

As for the feature flag missing issue, the flag is only visible if using Visual studio preview version https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/preview/. The flag was hidden in release version. Meanwhile, we are working on shipping M365 Copilot extensibility feature, so you can try these features without controlling any flag soon.

Oh cool, I will install the preview version and confirm. Thank you for looking into this.

Hi there, I have switched to the VS Preview version and I can see Teams Toolkit now. I will close the issue, looking forward to GA soon :-)
