Thank you for filing this issue.

The fix is in the latest version (0.57.1), please update aider with

aider --upgrade

Duplicate #1278

[rahimnathwani]

Hmm... there's something I don't understand about aider's auto-update behaviour.

When I ran aider, it asked whether I wanted to update. I said yes.

After I quit aider, I checked which version I had installed:

% pip freeze|grep aider
aider-chat==0.57.1

But the bug report I filed said I was still using the old version.

So it seems like aider auto-updates on start, but continues to run the old version unless I quit and restart?

This is a possibility. Thank you for this comment.

According to the source, aider should have told you to exit and restart after updating, see here -> https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider/blob/main/aider/versioncheck.py#L58

Or did the old version instantly throw the error before it had a chance to complete the update etc? It may be that the error and long stack trace covered this message up?

[rahimnathwani]

Honestly when I start aider, I don't read the intro text. I type aider App.js index.html, and wait for the > prompt. If I don't see that prompt, only then do I read the preceding text to see what I should do.

I realise this isn't ideal. But it's probably common.

I will read more carefully from now on :)

Not your fault, I looked at the upgrade routine and it might just have continued if the actual upgrade failed, trying to fix it, see #1688

[fry69]

This failed automatic test is interesting, it seems the success part never gets reached after the pip upgrade call? -> https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider/actions/runs/11004313751/job/30554988710?pr=1688

Sometimes the fix is very simple -> https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider/commit/82ebb7713a200e4e7135e560efc43faca3f0ef1e
