No response/error indicator when executing `gptel`

[randomwangran]

Execute M-x gptel, it saids Waiting, but no response can received. (setq gptel-api-key "sk-xxxxx") has been executed. Here's a screenshot:

Hi @randomwangran,

I just added a debug setting to diagnose issues like this. Could you

1. Pull the latest from this repo and install/load it,

2. Run (setq gptel--debug t) before running gptel,

3. Run gptel and wait for a buffer named *gptel-error* response to pop up,

4. and paste the contents of the buffer here?

If no such buffer pops up, that's helpful too and you can let me know.

[jmercouris]

I ran the code, waited several minutes, and no error buffer popped up.

@jmercouris Thank you. Is the value of gptel-use-curl non-nil for you? (It might look like /usr/bin/curl)

[jmercouris]

gptel-use-curl is a variable defined in ‘gptel.el’.

Its value is t

Whether gptel should prefer Curl when available.

  You can customize this variable.

[jmercouris]

Please note:

[jmercouris@system:~/.emacs.d/packages]$ which curl
/run/current-system/sw/bin/curl

I am running NixOS.

Could you set gptel-use-curl to nil and check if the problem persists?

[kulorro]

The same problem. And set gptel-use-curl in gptel.el to nil couldn't solve the problem.

@ydche3 Could you try again (with gptel--debug set to t)? I removed the aio dependency and made the code simpler to debug in 040baad9.

Without any difference. But I noticed that whenever run C-c RET to send my query, the request wasn't sent behind my proxy. Here is my emacs proxy setting:

(setq url-proxy-services '(("http" . "127.0.0.1:7890")
                           ("https" . "127.0.0.1:7890")))

Should I change my proxy setting? BTW, I've tried an other openai plugin under my proxy setting, and it works.

[karthink]

You shouldn't have to change your proxy settings. Did you notice this with gptel-use-curl set to nil, t or both?

[flashjames]

I have the same problem, it worked first when I tried the mode 4 days ago, but when I tried again today it doesnt return any answers.

I set: "(setq gptel--debug t)"

Where should that info be displayed? (no new buffer with messages with gptel atleast).

When I call the same api end point with javascript and axios, I get answers so it shouldnt be a open ai api problem.

EDIT: Never mind, had to re-read the README - didnt do "M-x gptel-send" this time :)

Please let me know if the README could be worded better.

[flashjames]

No the readme was clear, it was my bad not re-reading it again.

Thank you for the work on this mode!

EDIT: Maybe could add that you need to do gptel-send here:

I expected the second time when I write the question after ### and press enter, it will send the query.

Don't know emacs too well, to know is this is hard to implement.

The package already does this, I'm not sure what you mean. Here is what I see:

[karthink]

@jmercouris do you still see this error?

[jmercouris]

it works now, i installed via melpa

@flashjames I'm closing this issue since the original problem has been solved and this hinting is addressed as well. Feel free to reopen if this is not the case.
