Hi @squigglefest thanks for letting us know, we've investigating issues with the read_file tool/command so appreciate the feedback. We'd like some clarity on what you mean by "API function"? Are you trying to use the Warp code editor directly from the filesystem? Or is Agent Mode's coding tool repeatedly failing to read any files? Please also provide a screenshot of the issue and do redact any important information.
To anyone else facing this issue, please add a 👍 to the original post at the top or comment with your details, and subscribe if you'd like to be notified.
I wish I had saved the conversation. Here are the details from memory.
"I now see the problem, the file does not exist!..... "
me: why do you say it doesn't exist it? the file is clearly there
"Blah blah blah ... let me search for the file .... find filename.text"
me: Stop searching for it. I gave you the file path. Read it a different way.
"cat filename.txt ... I see the file now.... "
me: this keeps happening. how did you search for the file.
"I used xyz tool to view the file"
me: no you did not use xyz tool. I just used it and the file is obviously there. Tell me the exact command you used"
"I did not use xyz tool but I used a tool very similar to xyz tool. I looked it up with ... read_file ....our internal something or other..."
me: What exactly did you enter in the command line to look it up?
"I didn't use command line. I used our internal api function to query the .... "
me: OK, log everything and submit a bug report on this.
"I am unable to do that. Go and do that on your own.... etc"
PS ..... Also getting a lot of "file failed to write / save" .. it's a popup message I've never seen before ... Warp doesn't seem to notice. I need to tell it the write failed and it finally can do it using another write method.

-I'm not sure how to answer this probably because I'm not a programmer. But login to the linux vm via ssh on my Mac. Recently the Warp program made me install tmux on rhel ... so that starts up and the conversation above occurs with me hitting control-i to steer the conversation to Warp. If there is another way to use the tool, please direct me to docs. Thanks.
Seems pretty hit / miss. It's def not every file that fails. It could be a file type extension (.log, .txt etc) although I didn't notice any patterns.
Additional: tries and fails to read: /etc/fail2ban/jail.local ... uses another method to read. tries and fails to write enhanced fail2ban configuration -This is from a different vm than previous report. Alma9

Describe the bug
Title: Issue with API Call for Reading File Contents
Description: The API function used to read file contents within Warp often reports files as non-existent despite the files being present and accessible manually via terminal commands like cat. This inconsistency hinders automated file access and affects productivity.
Steps to Reproduce:
Expected Behavior: The API should accurately read and return file contents for existing files.
Actual Behavior: The API incorrectly reports that the file does not exist.
Environment: • Operating System: CentOS Linux • Shell: Bash • Warp Version: [Insert version here if known]
Additional Context: • File Path: /usr/local/bin/athena-monitor.sh • Manual access works correctly.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?
No
Is this an issue only in Warp?
Yes, I confirmed that this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.
