KeyError: 'main_prompt' problem with GPT Engineer

I am getting the following error:

The example folder should exist and in it should there be a main_prompt file. Its gives you that error when you feed it a file that does not exist.

I had the same problem trying to build the project also. What I did was move the project out of the projects folder as a temporary solution. I still can't get the built projects to run. any suggestions is welcomed.

For some weird reason it works if you name the file 'main_prompt' instead of 'prompt'.

I'm having the same issue. It worked 45 minutes ago. Something happened and where one used to say main_prompt it now looks like this (after execution of "cp -r projects/example/ projects/my-new-project"} . Changing the filename appears to work but the result ends up with an error. I forgot to make note of the name/contents of the error I will run it again and edit this post with those details.

Edit. i have two tracebacks. one shows what happens when the file is named "prompt" the other "main_prompt". there was a hang in the middle of the main_prompt attempt. youll see in the traceback where this happened. Tracebacks here: https://justpaste.it/cihuu

I think I may have solved this problem and it comes down to an "s" on the end of "project". The example has the singular yet the path to main_prompt is this plural, "projects"!

I am very new to all this stuff, but tonight I decided to check for gpt-engineer updates, pulled the latest, and suddenly started having this problem too.

Looks like Installing gpt-engineer now results in /example/prompt being created instead of the former /example/main_prompt, so it fails to start. As said, manually correcting the file to main_prompt allows it to run, but obviously the real fix is somewhere deep in the code and way above my ability.

Were you able to complete a full run without error by changing it to main_prompt? Mine would start but eventually fail

For me I obtained that error when I didn't create the virtual environment properly. Try running source venv/bin/activate after make install?

There was a bug on main. Should not happen!

It's fixed now, let's make sure it doesn't happen again.

Closing now, please immediately open a new issue if this is not fix still!
