Where does it save files?

[R1ngZer0]

I asked it to create a text file with the final output, but I can't seem to find it.

[R1ngZer0]

I think I figured it out. If you the phrase: "Output the results to a file", it will put the file in 'auto_gpt_workspace'

[R1ngZer0]

Sorry I think I misunderstood your question or read it wrong. I meant, no, you don't do it during the command confirmation. You do it at the beginning as one of the 5 steps and only then.

And FYI, I'm just as ignorant. I just started messing with this today. It's the blind leading the blind here 😆

I haven't seen that exact one but I did get a lot of JSON parser errors.

Thank you, its working now and generating files but is riddled with JSON errors. I am loving it nonetheless lol

By default everything will be in auto_gpt_workspace. You can say "Create file in my_project named main.py". ... it will create the directory under auto_gpt_workspace/my_project/main.py

[R1ngZer0]

Now I'm starting to get a bunch of JSON parse errors along with this:

[R1ngZer0]

It does seem to try and fix the errors but eventually gives up. But it does continue to press on...

It finished. It generated 3 files with minimal output. Not what I was expecting. So... it did create the files and placed them in 'auto_gpt_workspace'.

However, the end result leaves much to be desired, but that is beyond the scope of this post.

[R1ngZer0]

The limited output could also have to do with the many JSON parsing errors.

Looks like they fixed a lot of the JSON parsing issues last night. After pulling the updates down this morning, it's operating a lot cleaner without so much unformatted JSON in the output. I now suspect that the 'auto_gpt_workspace' is basically a temporary scratch pat for Auto-GPT to use while it's working and that is not the final output. Going by the preloaded data from the pull, the final output file should be in the 'output' directory, and the prior JSON errors were keeping the final output from happening. I'll report back as soon as my latest run finishes.

I have the same problem. auto_gpt_output seems to have very little of what i expected to find given that it says that it generated the report : This is the final couple of steps (redacted)

SYSTEM: Command do_nothing returned: No action performed.
: Now that we have generated our report, let's distribute it to the relevant stakeholders.
REASONING: Providing the report to relevant stakeholders, including xxx make informed decisions and choose the vendor who best aligns with our selection
criteria.
PLAN:

• Identify the stakeholders who should receive a copy of the report.
• Prepare a brief summary and introduce the report to potential buyers.
• Distribute the report to the relevant stakeholders using an appropriate method of communication, including email, social media, or project management tools.
  CRITICISM: It is essential to ensure that all relevant stakeholders receive the report and understand its implications. We must be available to answer questions and provide additional information to potential buyers if required.
  NEXT ACTION: COMMAND = do_nothing ARGUMENTS = {}
  SYSTEM: Command do_nothing returned: No action performed.
  xxx researcher: Our task of evaluating xxx is complete. We can now shut down this task.
  REASONING: Our job is done, and we have achieved our goals. Shutting down this task will free up resources and allow us to focus on other pressing matters.
  PLAN:
• Review our performance and decision-making process throughout the task.
• Analyze our successes and opportunities for improvement.
• Organize the files and resources used throughout the task.
• Shut down this task.
  CRITICISM: We should reflect on our performance and opportunities for improvement throughout the task to optimize our future performance in similar tasks.
  NEXT ACTION: COMMAND = task_complete ARGUMENTS = {'reason': 'Evaluation of xxx is complete.'}
  Shutting down...
