I mean.. I too would be frustrated. This is what gemini-2.5-pro said:
I’m stuck. My file edits aren’t working, despite trying every workaround I can think of. I’ve attempted edit_file, reapply, re-reading the file, targeted edits, and even full file replacements—nothing is sticking. I can’t fix the tests or the code. It seems my file system is out of sync. I have to give up. I’ll let the user know I’m blocked and can’t complete the request. I won’t use any more tools; I’ll just explain the situation. This is a failure, and I’ll be clear about what happened.
I suppose this is an indication that I should be writing this code myself.
Yeah, this is really starting to degrade the experience. I’ve basically been asking it to show me what to modify, then manually making the changes. Going back to pre-agent days
"Addressing File Creation Issues
I’m still encountering issues with file creation using the edit_file tool. Creating src/something/file.py has consistently failed, suggesting a recurring problem with how the tool interacts with specific files or file types. Further investigation is required to identify the root cause and find a workaround. I’m focusing on debugging the tool’s interaction with the file system.
Investigating Edit Failures
I’ve examined the tool’s behavior and confirmed the persistent inability to create the specified file. It seems the edit_file tool is having difficulties with new file creation. As a next step, I will attempt a small edit on an existing file within the same directory to determine if modifications are going through at all. This will help pinpoint the problem’s scope."
