TypeAgent repo for developers |
Here are some tips when working with the TypeAgent repo listed in no particular order:
-
When syncing with the TypeAgent repo it's always a good idea to run
pnpm ifirst. This can help resolve some very common build issues or address updated dependency/references within the project hierarchy. -
If there are issue during
pnpm ior build, it's a good idea to try resetting the repo to a clean state. Make sure you save all your uncommitted changes (commit them or stash them) and usegit cleanto reset the repo, then try to install and build again. -
There are two process models for agents: in-proc and out-of-proc with the dispatcher. It is recommended to run agents out of process from the dispatcher for system stability possible future isolation. However, this can on occasion make debugging more difficult. Therefore if you are chasing a troublesome issue, try running agents in process the same process as the dispatcher until the issue has been resolved by setting the environment variable
TYPEAGENT_EXECMODE=0 -
To reset your git repo without having to re-clone, you can run
git clean -dfXand thenpnpm i -
You can attach the VS Code debugger to a running instance of the shell/cli by first entering the
@debugcommand in the shell/cli and then by "Launching" "Attach" from the debug pane in VS Code.
- Test projects aren't appearing in Jest Explorer - To fix this modify the settings.json file and add the project to the
jest.virtualFolderssection. - Unable to debug tests - If you try to debug a test using jest and in the output you get a message
No tests found, exiting with code 1it's possible that the launch.json file is pointing to another project. Modify the working directory of thevscode-jest-tests.v2launch spec to point to the project folder you are wanting to debug.
Here are some troubleshooting steps and or possible solutions to specific errors you might encounter.
Embedding file corrupterror message The conversation memory embeddings file has become corrupted and is not recoverable. Delete it and restart the shell/CLI. You can find this file in the current session folder:<user home dir>/.typeagent/sessions/<current session>/conversationMemory_embeddings.bin.
-- Error running pnpm i
postinstall$ cd node_modules/.pnpm/node_modules/better-sqlite3 && shx rm -rf ./build && pnpm exec prebuild-install && shx mkdir build/Release-Node && shx cp build/Release/better_sqlite3.node build/Release-Node/better_sqlite3.node │ rm: could not remove file (code EPERM): ./build/Release/better_sqlite3.node │ rm: could not remove directory (code ENOTEMPTY): ./build/Release │ rm: could not remove directory (code ENOTEMPTY): ./build └─ Failed in 2.5s at F:\repos\TypeAgent\ts
For this error the either the shell or CLI have some files locked preventing the better_sqlite3 module from being built. Just close any TypeAgent running applications and try again.
