Disabling Amazon Q from testing its code suggestions - Amazon Q Developer

Disabling Amazon Q from testing its code suggestions

To turn off the feature that allows Amazon Q to test its code suggestions in a dev environment, go to your IDE’s settings and turn off the Amazon Q: Allow Q /dev to run code and test commands setting. (You might need to choose the Edit in settings.json link under the setting name, and then set the corresponding JSON setting to false to turn off the setting.)

When you turn off this setting:

  • Amazon Q will no longer display the Generate devfile to build code button to you when you run the /dev command in your IDE.

  • Amazon Q will no longer look for a devfile, launch a dev environment, or test the code suggestions it generates for you.

Note

The ability to enable or disable the use of dev environments is not possible through the Amazon Q Developer console.

For more information about devfiles and testing with Amazon Q, see Testing code suggestions generated by the Amazon Q '/dev' command.
