Steps to reproduce 🕹

Working on stable

Prompt: You are a ai designed to create source code. Goal: First write a sample file to test that you are working

Current behavior 😯

When it tries to write a file it gives that error

{ "thoughts": { "text": "Let's create a new file named sample.txt and write a sample text to it.", "reasoning": "This will test if we can successfully write to a file and check if the file is created in the correct location.", "plan": "- Use the write_to_file command to create a new file named sample.txt and write a sample text to it.", "criticism": "I should always double-check the file path before creating or modifying files to prevent errors.", "speak": "Let's create a new file named sample.txt and write a sample text to it." }, "command": { "name": "write_to_file", "args": { "file": "./sample.txt", "text": "This is a sample text." } } }

This will create a new file named `sample.txt` in the current working directory and write the sample text "This is a sample text." to it. After running this command, you can verify that the file was created and has the correct content by using the command `read_file` and passing the file path as the argument for the `file` parameter.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

  System: Command write_to_file returned: Error: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'is_relative_to'

  User: GENERATE NEXT COMMAND JSON

  Assistant: I apologize for the error in the previous command. It seems that the file path was not specified correctly. Let's try again to create the `sample.txt` file.

Edit: i was wrong here, fix is to update your python

[arbusam]

@rocks6 I am getting the same error. What version should I upgrade my python to?

[arbusam]

never mind I tried 3.10 and it worked. If anyone else is on Mac and uses 3.11 the voice will not work for some reason. I think there is a problem with that on 3.11. Also, make sure to install pyobjc.

[Dobatymo]

New in version 3.9. https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.PurePath.is_relative_to

[rocks6]

I updated my dockerfile to

FROM python:3.10

[Dron007]

Maybe it is better add something like joined_path.relative_to(base) (which will raise exception in case of unsafe path too) instead of

    if not joined_path.is_relative_to(base):
        raise ValueError(f"Attempted to access path '{joined_path}' outside of working directory '{base}'.")

in workspace.py to make it work with Python 3.8 too? I am not sure it is correct though, please check.

Same problem here: Command write_to_file returned: Error: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'is_relative_to'

I downgraded from Python 3.11 to Pyhton 3.10 with no success. Any other workaround?

[rocks6]

Check your python interpreter and make sure it's 3.11 and not 3.8, check your dockerfile if using devcontainer

python -V

Check your python interpreter and make sure it's 3.11 and not 3.8, check your dockerfile if using devcontainer

After installing pyenv, and be sure which version of python I am using I get this error: Command write_to_file returned: Error: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'is_relative_to'

I am using python 3.11.3.

[arilishu]

After installing pyenv, and be sure which version of python I am using I get this error:

SYSTEM: Command write_to_file returned: Error: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'is_relative_to' The JSON object is invalid. THOUGHTS: None REASONING: None CRITICISM: None

I am using python 3.10.11.

[lucidprojects]

.devcontainer/Dockerfile had python 3.8

but ./Dockerfile had 3.11-slim

updating the devcontainer/DockerFile python version to 3.11 fixed it for me

Why are there 2 DockerFiles? Is that just the way dev containers work? Should devcontainer.json point to the root Dockerfile?

I have it working now but just trying to understand the file structure

[lc0rp]

From looking at the history, the two files evolved separately, so I don't think two files are required, but from looking at the Docker files, it might be tricky to get the relative paths like ./autogpt to work for all scenarios.

Hello! I'm super new to this. I manged to get the auto GPT running in terminal but this is the error I see when I try to have it write file SYSTEM: Command write_to_file returned: Error: 'PosixPath' object has no attribute 'is_relative_to'

I'm running anaconda, and python 3.9.6 version.

any help would be appreciated!! thank you

[primaryobjects]

This solved the issue for me:

Change this line to:

return WORKSPACE_PATH.joinpath(relative_path)

[Pwuts]

Should be resolved by updating to Python 3.10. Older Python versions are not supported, at least for now.

@primaryobjects that fix can be considered dangerous since it breaks workspace confinement and lets the AI write whatever files it wants on your machine.

[arilishu]

This solved the issue for me:

Change this line to:

return WORKSPACE_PATH.joinpath(relative_path)

This change fixed my version also!

[darrynv]

vscode ➜ /workspaces/Code/Auto-GPT $ python --version Python 3.11.2

It does not seem to be the python version.

@arilishu fix = can write to file successfully.

[Pwuts]

@darrynv ~~please post a log when reporting an issue...~~ found it

Can you provide some more info: platform/OS, Auto-GPT version, how you installed Python

[darrynv]

Hi @Pwuts . I did a full rebuild of the .devcontainer and this resolved the issue.

Windows 10 Devcontainer + VSCode Python 3.10.11 Auto-GPT 0.2.2

I think this is now safe to close. Apologies for the confusion.

[Pwuts]

Thanks for reporting back!

return WORKSPACE_PATH.joinpath(relative_path)

OMG THANK YOU!!!

[CuetoA]

Hello! Is this working in the stable version?

Looks to me like it doesn't and the master still getting updates, right? so we should not run it

[maheshwaghmare]

This solved the issue for me:

Change this line to:

return WORKSPACE_PATH.joinpath(relative_path)

Works for me 👍
