Steps to reproduce 🕹

I asked it to create a new react app and write it with certain parameters. It does successfully execute the create-react-app command locally and those initial files get created. Then it goes through and says its going to create various source code files, but doesn't ever end up actually writing them to disk.

$ git clone -b stable-0.2.2 --depth 1 [email protected]:Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT.git

$ git rev-parse HEAD f5a2acd82a57d8f8579cc31042de53a3b9f8b8c0

Current behavior 😯

It says what its going to do, but then never does it. You can see in the logs where it does successfully run the local command, but after that no commands are run and the Roster.js file that it says its creating is never created.

Expected behavior 🤔

It should write the new source files to disk

Your prompt 📝

Create a frontend-only react app called called baseball-coach-helper that allows a coach to create their roster with controls for adding one player at a time to the list of players. Each player row should have a name and checkboxes for the positions "P", "C", "1B", "2B", "3B", "SS", and "Outfield" indicating whether that player can play those positions. The "2B", "3B", "SS", and "Outfield" checkboxes should be checked by default and the others should not. There should be a button to add another player the roster and existing players should all be editable. There should also be a button to delete a player from the roster. 

There should be another component for defining the following configuration restraints: rotate the pitcher each inning, no player plays the outfield two innings in a row, rotate the catcher each inning if possible, rotate the other positions as much as possible, play 4 outfielders. The play 4 outfielders constraint should only be allowed if there are 4 or more players in the roster.

Have another component that asks for the number of innings in the game and has a button that uses the names in the roster to generate a randomized batting order as well as a set of defensive assignments that respect as many of the constraints as possible. If its not possible to meet the "No player plays the outfield two innings in a row" constraint then you should relax that constraint when necessary to assign all the positions. If there are only 8 players, the outfield assignments consist of Left-Center Field ("LCF") and Right-Center Field ("RCF"). If there are 9 players there should be three outfielders ("LF", "CF", "RF") and if there are 10 players are more, give the coach an optional constraint to play 4 outfielders ("LF", "LCF", "RCF", "RF"). Display the batting order and defensive positions for each inning in tabular format.

Make sure that the roster list, player position configurations, and defensive configuration constraints are saved into the browser’s localstorage. There should also be a button to clear all the data from localstorage and start the page fresh.

Write out all the code for this application to disk, then generate a set of test cases for this website and run the test cases to prove the website works correctly.

Your Logs 📒

 THOUGHTS:  I think the first task is to create a frontend-only react app called baseball-coach-helper. I can use the 'create-react-app' command to create a new react app. I will also need to install the 'react-bootstrap' package to use Bootstrap components in the app. I will use the 'npm' command to install this package.

 THOUGHTS:  The next step is to create the player roster component. I will create a new file called 'Roster.js' in the 'src' directory and add the necessary code to create the roster component. I will also add the 'react-bootstrap' components to the file to create the necessary UI elements.

It seems to be a prompting issue. You can just play around with it a bit. There are a bunch of PRs in flight to help with this behavior further down the road and get the proper commands running more frequently.

[ctindel]

@ntindle But what is the prompting issue? I literally say in the 5th goal "Write out all the code for this application to disk"

[ntindle]

The system is deciding to do nothing instead of writing the actual file. I’d play around with that last line to see how it changes

[ctindel]

@ntindle Have you seen any example prompts that are known to work to make it actually write the file?

[ntindle]

Yeah, I was much less specific on my prompts and got it to successfully write to a file. It was something like

Make a list of recipes for dinner

• write the recipes to recipe-x.txt where x is the thing the recipe is for
• do five recipes
