UnicodeDecodeError in M1 Macbook

[1stprinciples]

I tried the following commands:

conda create --name myenv python=3.7
conda activate myenv

The following command successfully installed the library

pip install terminal-copilot 

With the following output message (showing only the final line)

Successfully installed charset-normalizer-2.1.1 et-xmlfile-1.1.0 idna-3.4 numpy-1.21.6 openai-0.25.0 openpyxl-3.0.10 pandas-1.3.5 pandas-stubs-1.2.0.62 pyperclip-1.8.2 python-dateutil-2.8.2 pytz-2022.7 requests-2.28.1 simple-term-menu-1.5.2 six-1.16.0 terminal-copilot-1.2.1 tqdm-4.64.1 types-pytz-2022.7.0.0 typing-extensions-4.4.0 urllib3-1.26.13

The following command raises an error

copilot list all files in the parent directory

The error

Hey! Thanks for sharing feedback with the community!

Got the same error, I even tried using rosetta 2, and I got the same error

[EdwardTheLegend]

the line in the traceback looks different to this line https://github.com/Methexis-Inc/terminal-copilot/blob/591f950a7ecfc2fc2bd3857d0b448b245aefc590/copilot/history_file.py#L41 which has got code to handle decoding errors

maybe this is a case of fixed in repo but new version hasn't been published to pypi yet?

[EdwardTheLegend]

If you don't want to wait for a release you could try cloning the repo and doing local install

O I apologize!. I am pushing out the new version that should fix that based on @EdwardTheLegend contribution!
