[Bug]: json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Unterminated string starting at: line 1 column 30 (char 29)

Version

VisualStudio Code extension

Operating System

Windows 11

What happened?

When trying to use the extension I am getting this error (down below). Also, when running the main.py in the project I am getting the common dotenv not found error.

Describe your app in as much detail as possible.

Did you copy/paste the initial prompt (project description)? If so, could you check (in any editor) how long it is, in bytes? We have a bug where the initial description can be cut short and result in this error so I'd like to check if that's the case here.

Regarding the dotenv error, if the VSCode extension runs but the command-line don't, this just means you haven't activated your python virtualn environment before starting GPT Pilot (VSCode extension does this automatically). This needs to be done every time you open a terminal, something like this:

1. Open your terminal
2. Navigate to the GPT Pilot directory
3. There should be a pilot-env subdirectory in it (this is the Python virtual environment created by VSCode installation and the one it uses)
4. Run \pilot-env\Scripts\activate
5. Go to the pilot subdirectory: cd pilot
6. Start GPT Pilot: python main.py

My prompt is about 7373 bytes long, I guess it's too long. And thank you for the dotenv error fix. I'm kind of scared to try it out as it risks money as I think my prompt is a little too complex for it to handle.

I edited it to shorten it with ChatGPT now:
