Warning: The file 'auto-gpt.json' does not exist. Local memory would not be saved to a file.

After following all instructions, i get the above warning on running autogpt for the first time.

[spkkarri]

1. Go to autogpt repository
2. create auto-gpt.json ex (linux): echo "" > auto-gpt.json

[DrDudeBroman]

I was able to work around this by creating a text file with this in it:

{}

Save As:

Auto-GPT.json

The error message appears even if the file is present in the directory:

Can you try running python -m autogpt --debug?

[ZeddMalum]

it doesn't say The file 'auto-gpt.json' does not exist, however it says: Please set your OpenAI API key in .env or as an environment variable. You can get your key from https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

although I did set my open api key in .env

[k-boikov]

Please make sure you are using the proper .env (not the .template) and you don't have any other .env files around.

the error goes away if I create a blank auto-gpt.json file, on my m2 mac. When the code runs, it writes {} in the file. But wouldn't it be better to just include an empty file in the repo itself if it is important, or am I missing something ?

I did everything in as suggested. It will run in an Command Prompt in Windows, but not in the Docker Desktop.

Use command: podman run --rm -it --name autogpt --env-file=./.env -v $PWD/auto_gpt_workspace:/home/appuser/auto_gpt_workspace -v $PWD/auto_gpt_workspace/auto-gpt.json:/home/appuser/auto-gpt.json significantgravitas/auto-gpt:0.2.2 --continuous
