Jippity calls the same action in rapid succession

[Pasu4]

As the title says, Jippity calls the same action (in this case, get_files) multiple times per second. This happened every time I tried it. Using Tony, I confirmed that the action does return the list of files, but Jippity complains:

It seems like there is an issue with getting the list of files in the workspace.

after calling get_files eight times, yet was able to open the file afterwards.

Information

Model: gpt-4o-mini
Project: Pasu4/neuropilot, on branch improve-editing. (settings.json and playground.js were modified to give Jippity an initial prompt and errors to fix, respectively)
Task: Jippity was asked to open, run, and fix errors in playground.js.

Logs

Hey @Pasu4 . This looks like a really weird issue. I'm fully aware that Jippity is unstable and filled with race conditions, but I've never seen it do something like this. I'll try to find some time to investigate tomorrow.

Hello @Pasu4. Sorry for the delay getting back to you. My best guess for the cause of this issue is that that the "game" is sending messages more quickly than Jippity can handle. It can get stuck in a weird state sometimes when things are happening too quickly. Complete skill issues on my part - JavaScript is pretty new to me, and I still don't fully understand how to write async code in it.

You can probably work around this issue by throttling the rate that messages are sent from the "game". Alternatively, if you have experience in JavaScript, you can take a look at this code and see if you can find the issue.

Sorry I can't be more helpful on this.

...would this be partially caused by #16?

@KTrain5169, yeah it's probably caused by that. I'm in the process of dejanking this project, and I plan to have it fully working - and hopefully free of such severe race conditions - by the end of this weekend.

🫡 I was gonna see if I could toy with it today but I'll wait until dejanking is done.
