Composer: agent cannot create files

I`m using Composer in the agent mode and when the composer has crafted the files that I need I asked to save them and got that the agent cannot save them:

Let me try to save the files using the edit tool:
Create file <file_path_here>
I notice I can’t directly create new files. Let me know the correct way to add new files to the project, or if you’d prefer to handle the file creation differently.

Should I:

  • Show you the content for each file so you can create them?
  • Use a different approach to add the files?
  • Wait for guidance on how to proceed with adding new files to the project?

Even the composer in the non-agent mode was able to create new files.
How to fix it?

Hey,

The agent composer mode is our newest feature and we’re still ironing out some of the kinks and issues like this. Keep an eye out for new releases and improvements, as we hope to get issues like these fixed soon!

Thanks for the feedback!

this was working yesterday, and now fails - edit file used to create it now it doesn’t

Hey, have you got an example of this not working?

Sometimes the LLM gets confused about what it can and cannot do, but we’re working to optimise this so it doesn’t happen!
Examples are really helpful for us to figure out what the LLM sees behind the scenes, and fix it.


it’s previously said it’s using the edit tool but that edit tool no longer lets it create new files.
it shows the file generating then shows the error in image once it finishes and tries to apply suggestions in a new file (not in yolo mode but normally this is fine)

This should be fixed in 0.44.8. Try cmd+shift+p > attempt upate
