under Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and love the Gitlens 13.4.0 extension. But since quite a while it doesn't display any inline blame annotations any more in my repository, and I don't know what is wrong and how to fix it.

I am NOT in Zen (or review) mode, use no virtual drives at all and the "Current line blame" mode is enabled, but no blame annotations can be seen anymore. And this is just for one repository I am working with. Another repository works just fine - blame annotations are being displayed. There is no difference in the workspace settings files for these two repositories. I disabled ALL other addons, but to no avail.

I really don't know what's wrong and how to fix it - any hint really welcome!

go to settings.json in '.vscode' folder.
remove the following line:

"search.followSymlinks": false,

it will work again.

I deleted the repository locally and cloned it again - did not touch any VSC configuration or workspace file at all - and now it works like a charm!

Hopefully, this insight will help other poor souls in the future.

I have the same issue but deleting the repo and cloning it again did not help. Have tried to deactivate all other extensions, reset GitLens settings, no zen/review-mode, enabled inline blame, tried in both VS Code and VS Code Insider, the workspace settings are identical - Yet still inline blame is not working in repo B while it's working in repo A.

Current VS Code version:

I'm out of ideas what to try next.. Anyone else having a clue?

EDIT

✅ GitLens debug logs showed a line "document is not blameable". This clue led me the the issue Blame is not working #1143 and the solution that finally worked for me. I had to add an empty file .git-blame-ignore-revs in my project root, and then add the following to my .git/config file:

[blame]
   ignoreRevsFile = .git-blame-ignore-revs
