​
Agent Reports Empty Codebase

If your coding agent reports that the codebase is empty when you create a new task, you may have Git’s sparse-checkout feature enabled in your repository. Solution: Run the following command in the root directory of your repository: 
git sparse-checkout disable
After disabling sparse-checkout, create a new task and try again.

​
Enabling Debug Logs

If you need more detailed logs to help debug an issue, you can enable debug-level logging by setting the RUST_LOG environment variable. Usage: 
RUST_LOG=debug npx vibe-kanban
This will provide verbose logging output that can help identify the root cause of issues.

DANGER: Wiping Your Database

If you encounter irrecoverable errors and need to completely wipe your Vibe Kanban database, you can delete the application data directory for your operating system.
This action is irreversible and will result in the loss of ALL your tasks and settings. Make sure to back up any important information before proceeding.
Delete the following directory based on your OS: 
~/Library/Application Support/ai.bloop.vibe-kanban/
After deleting the application data directory, restart Vibe Kanban to reset with an empty database and default settings.
