Same here, after updating antigravity the past conversation icon is disabled and not clickable although the chats are available in ~/.gemini/antigravity/conversations/

I’ve met the same issue after updating to the latest version. Revert to version 1.16.5 may solve the problem. All sessions, including those created in the latest version , are all now showing up. oh google…

Antigravity reports:
**
ā€œThe raw chat history logs for this conversation were corrupted in the IDE’s storage protocol buffers.ā€**

Antigravity has a fundamental design problem: it doesn’t reliably back up conversations to disk. Rather, the IDE stores those chat UI logs in heavily encoded binary protocol buffers, which, if you ask the LLM, can get corrupted.

When the binary parser for these buffers fails, the IDE chooses not to tell the user. And the conversation is removed from history.

Same issue here, Windows WSL. Conversations are there, in the ā€˜brain’ directory, just not showing in AG…

Edit: There’s a way to force a load, open the agent manager and play around with it, it will start loading eventually, then you’ll see conversations populating.

Annoying, but FWIW I asked the latest version ā€œYou seem to have lost our chat history. Can you examine ~/.gemini/antigravity/conversations/ and see if you can restore our latest chat? If so, please give me a status update and plan to continue our work.ā€ and it seemed to largely get the conversation back on track.

didn’t work for me, any idea what the agent did to fix it?

my current state is that i can only see new conversations if they stareted by the agent manager, if i start a new conversation in an editor it won’t show up in the history, and all the convos started by the agent manager has their name trimmed to ~20 characters only

Same - for the moment, can only use the Agent Manager’s conversations, at least they show, vs the editor view never shows anything, its gone as soon as you close the current conversation. Google, please fix this issue.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have escalated the issue to our internal teams for a thorough investigation.

To ensure our engineering team can investigate and resolve these issues effectively, we highly recommend filing bug reports directly through the Antigravity in-app feedback tool. You can do this by navigating to the top-right corner of the interface, clicking the Feedback icon, and selecting Report Issue.

yes even on windows, old chats are not showing in the history section and only chats 1 month or 2 month old are showing. Also new chat is not persisting, why google why??

Found the fix:
Downgrade to the Release V 1.16.5. Do not uninstall the current version! Just download the older release and install it. It will index your missing history.

Also, all the conversation history is stored in: ~\.gemini\antigravity\conversations
as .pb files!

Hope it helps!

Yes, It works, but not all models supported. So we can use both models — new and old. You need disallow upgrade for old version (ask to AI how).

```Shell
off:

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.google.antigravity.ShipIt/*

chmod 555 ~/Library/Caches/com.google.antigravity.ShipIt
on:

chmod 755 ~/Library/Caches/com.google.antigravity.ShipIt

```

***

I see New Version. will check. The problem remains.

you guys have AI - why do humans still need to file formal bug reports if your AI can see/scrape all this? Seems a bit counter-intuitive at this point.

Same here …. lost conversation… :nauseated_face:

Thanks for the prompt! For windows user, you can use like this:

You seem to have lost our chat history. Can you examine C:\Users\<YOUR_USER_NAME>\.gemini\antigravity\conversations and see if you can restore our latest chat? If so, please give me a status update and plan to continue our work.

Copy and paste this prompt to have it list all of your conversations, which makes them clickable and able to view. This doesn’t allow you to chat inside of them again, but at least you can see access them natively.

URGENT: I need you to trigger backend file system read events on all of my stored chat history folders to force my UI to refresh and index them.

CRITICAL RULE: DO NOT use the terminal or bash commands (like ls, touch, or find) via the run_command tool. You MUST use your native, built-in list_dir API tool for this to work correctly.

Please execute the following steps exactly:

  1. Use your list_dir API tool on my absolute path: ~/.gemini/antigravity/brain.
  2. Look at the output of that tool call and identify every single subdirectory inside it (these will look like long UUID strings).
  3. Next, issue a completely separate list_dir API tool call for every single one of those individual subdirectories you found. You can batch these tool calls, but you must explicitly read into every single folder.
  4. DO NOT output, print, or summarize the contents of these directories in your response to me. I do not want to see the files.
  5. Simply reply: ā€œI have successfully pinged all directory contents to trigger your UI refresh,ā€ once you have finished making all the tool calls.

Yeah, when I quit out of AntiGravity and back in, even my most recent conversation was gone. This is definitely a major bug.

Speaking of which, I cannot for the life of me figure out where the OFFICIAL place to report antigravity bugs is? Any ideas?

Edit: FWIW I’m using WSL2 on Windows 11. I’m guessing a decent number of Windows users are also using WSL2 for development so Google should pay attention to that config.
