Thanks, shame on me.

You need to start a fresh session. Without Python/Sagemath code in "its" 
memory. Otherwise it does not know what you are trying to achieve. It's 
highly context sensitive. Personally, to correct my previous sentence, I 
use Google Antigravity for my unit testings.

Greg

PS: Install fricas-vscode, the .vsix, see my GitHub account, and try VSCode 
or Antigravity (+). And have fun! Always check things of course.
 


I use Copilot since some time now. I use it via fricas-vscode, a toy addon. 
It's compatible with Antigravity so I used, the latter, it to code my 
testing things...
