Agent can't proceed to next step in plan
Describe the bug
I asked Devin to write a simple hello world program and run it. After a few steps, the bot return the same responses and can't proceed to the next stage.
Steps to Reproduce
- Task: Create hello world program in python and run it
- model: gpt-4-0125-preview
Expected behavior Proceed to run the created file
Actual behavior Keep returning "I'll write the 'Hello, World!' program in Python and run it." Additional context
What does the server terminal show, are there errors?
This is odd--gpt-4 usually crushes this task. Are you running LangchainsAgent?
Hi, i'm testing it and am in the same spot, tried with Ollama, Openrouter free models, and gpt 3.5...
Here' some output from the backend console

To create a "hello world" Python script, you can follow these steps:
1. Open a new text file using your preferred text editor (e.g., nano, vim, or any IDE with Python support).
2. Write the following code in the file:
<execute>
print("Hello World!")
</execute>
ACTION:
CmdRunAction(command='\n print("Hello World!")\n ', background=False, action='run')

Then it kept repeating itself over and over up to step 18 and i killed the backend.
Codeact and Planner are much more experimental--MonologueAgent (fka LangchainsAgent) is the most stable

I used LangchainsAgents. There's no error log
A complete set of secondary agents to monitor and control the workflow of the primary agents will create a robust and stable structure.

@superkido511 I'm not able to repro this one--if it's still happening, can you open a new issue?
