solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Roo Code codebase indexing] 'Failed to connect to Qdrant vector database. Please ensure Qdrant is running and accessible at <url>.'
Recommended action: Start Qdrant (e.g. docker run -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant) and make the URL reachable from where the extension host runs.
Option: Start Qdrant (e.g. docker run -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant) and make the URL reachable from where the extension host runs. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Starting indexing with a local Qdrant URL
Steps:
1. curl <qdrantUrl>/collections from the extension host
2. Fix URL/API key
3. For Remote/WSL, use an address reachable from the remote host
Expected: The error no longer appears.
