Quick Documentation not working as expected (Rider)

[tvalebjorg]

Hello @lppedd!

I'm encountering an issue with the "Quick Documentation" feature (invoked via Ctrl+K, I or by right-clicking and selecting Quick Documentation) when using the Conventional Commit plugin in JetBrains Rider.

Description:

When I explicitly try to invoke the Quick Documentation on a highlighted commit type or scope suggestion in the commit message window, a small popup appears at the top of the commit message window with the text 'Quick Documentation': getting the action ready... and it remains stuck in this state indefinitely. Pressing Esc cancels this message, and no documentation pane is displayed.

The expected documentation/definition pane on the right (as seen in the readme) does not appear.

Steps to reproduce:

• Ensure the Conventional Commit plugin is installed and enabled in JetBrains Rider.
• Have a conventionalcommit.json file loaded and recognized by the plugin (suggestions for types and scopes appear correctly).
• Open the Git Commit window in Rider.
• Trigger the Conventional Commit suggestions (ctrl + space).
• Highlight a suggestion (commit type or scope).
• Press Ctrl+K, I or right-click on the highlighted suggestion and select Quick Documentation.
• Observe the 'Quick Documentation': getting the action ready... message appear at the top, but no documentation pane shows.

Important Note: This issue occurs even when using the default conventionalcommit.json configuration that comes with the plugin, not just with a custom configuration. The "getting the action ready" message appears only when explicitly trying to invoke the Quick Documentation feature.

Expected behavior:

As demonstrated in the readme, when invoking Quick Documentation on a suggestion, a pane with the description of the selected commit type or scope should appear on the right-hand side of the suggestions list.

Environment:

Conventional Commit Plugin Version: 0.24.1
JetBrains Rider 2024.3.7
Build #RD-243.26053.56, built on April 3, 2025
Runtime version: 21.0.6+8-b631.39 amd64 (JCEF 122.1.9)
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o.
Toolkit: sun.awt.windows.WToolkit

Registry:

• ide.experimental.ui=true
• llm.show.ai.promotion.window.on.start=false

Non-Bundled Plugins:

• com.github.lppedd.idea-conventional-commit (0.24.1)
• nsubstitutecomplete-rider (2024.3.0)
• com.intellij.ml.llm (243.23654.270.16)
• com.github.copilot (1.5.41-243)

Additional context:

The core suggestion functionality of the plugin works as expected. The issue is specifically with the explicit invocation of the "Quick Documentation" feature in Rider, and it's not related to a custom conventionalcommit.json file.

I'm happy to provide any further information or logs that might be helpful in diagnosing this issue.

Thank you for your work on this useful plugin!
