added hashes to a folder name

[aldoyh]

Hello guys,

Thank you for such an amazing tool.

I've just started "knowing" how to use it, but whenever I add a certain folder using the /add lib\ it adds 3 hashes to it, is this intentional or can be fixed?

Thank you for filing this issue.

aider does not request or add those hashes, that is the LLM. In your case the model you are using (mistral/mistral-large-latest) may not be able to produce the correct format aider needs to work effectively. Try using a better model (current go-to recommendation is Sonnet-3.5).

See also the model leaderboard -> https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/

Also this documentation may be helpful -> https://aider.chat/docs/troubleshooting/edit-errors.html

@aldoyh

There is a fix in the current main branch that might help you with this problem, see here -> https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider/commit/54cfbc4142e10dde73434accd20761bfc1ba3f1e

You can install the main branch with ->

aider --install-main-branch

# or

python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider.git

If you have a chance to try it, please report if it works better for you.

Thank you so much guys for your replies it did actually work just like a charm! And I did go back to the local installation of a ollama/mistral AND Mistral/Mistral also worked perfectly!

Now my question is should I stay on the current branch or should I go back to the main?

As far as I know aider should automatically remind you and update to stable release once a new one is out (with the current fix included). So you should not have to do anything, but you can still update the main branch daily to get latest features (and rarely bugs).
