It doesn't seem to read text files

[diondetterer]

When I ask LoopGPT to read the contents of a text file, it will almost always complain that the file is empty.

@diondetterer Can you please send an example or the goals you tried that we can look into? I have seen this happen but its not too often.

agent.goals = [ "Read a text file containing the introduction", "Write a summary of the introduction" ]

PROGRESS: - None

NEXT_COMMAND: read_from_file, Args: {'file': 'path/to/introduction.txt'}

Execute? (Y/N/Y:n to execute n steps continuously): n Enter feedback (Why not execute the command?): the file is introduction.txt ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── REASONING: I will read the file and save the content to a variable for further processing.

PLAN: Read the introduction file Save the content to a variable Summarize the content

PROGRESS: - None

NEXT_COMMAND: read_from_file, Args: {'file': 'introduction.txt'}

Execute? (Y/N/Y:n to execute n steps continuously): y SYSTEM: Executing command: read_from_file SYSTEM: read_from_file output: {'content': ''} ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── RecGPT:

REASONING:

PLAN:

• Ask user for the path to the introduction file
• Read the file
• Summarize the content

PROGRESS: I was unable to read the introduction file. I will ask the user for the path to the file

SPEAK: (voice)

NEXT_COMMAND: ask_user, Args: {'message': 'Please provide the full path to the introduction file:'}

Execute? (Y/N/Y:n to execute n steps continuously): y SYSTEM: Executing command: ask_user Please provide the full path to the introduction file:: D:\LoopGPT\paper\introduction.txt SYSTEM: ask_user output: {'response': 'D:\LoopGPT\paper\introduction.txt'} ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PLAN: Read the introduction file Summarize its content

PROGRESS: I have the path to the introduction file. Now I will read the file and summarize its content.

NEXT_COMMAND: read_from_file, Args: {'file': 'D:\LoopGPT\paper\introduction.txt'}

Execute? (Y/N/Y:n to execute n steps continuously): y SYSTEM: Executing command: read_from_file SYSTEM: read_from_file output: {'content': ''} ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PROGRESS: I was unable to read the introduction file from the previous path. I will ask the user again for the correct path to the file

NEXT_COMMAND: ask_user, Args: {'message': 'Please provide the full path to the introduction file:'}

Just tried same example and it works for me, can you confirm you are running your terminal in the same folder as "introduction.txt"?

[diondetterer]
