Steps to reproduce 🕹

Give the prompt to write and code and test it.

Current behavior 😯

It creates the file under autogpt folder. But while executing it throws below error

Could not run the script in a container. If you haven't already, please install Docker https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/

Due to this te agent gets into infinite loop

Expected behavior 🤔

It should be able to run the script(program file) so that it can check the response and improve itself

Same issue but on Windows. I asked Auto-Gpt to generate an Angular application:

Initial Prompt:

Create an Angular application in the folder c:\\source\\repos\\generated\\20230502_UITest001 with a collapsible left navigation panel and scss styling.', 'Implement a configurable set of modules ("Compliance", "Regulatory", and "Overwatch") that appear in the left navigation panel and are controlled by feature flags at a customer level.', 'Ensure that access to the modules is restricted based on the corresponding feature flag at the customer level. If the user or customer does not have the correct feature flag turned on, the corresponding module should not be displayed in the left navigation panel.', 'Implement a rerouting mechanism to redirect users who attempt to directly enter a route for a module they do not have access to an access denied route.', 'Ensure that the generated Angular application meets the specified requirements and is ready for deployment.

Result:

SYSTEM:  Command execute_python_file returned: Error: Error while fetching server API version: (2, 'CreateFile', 'The system cannot find the file specified.')
 THOUGHTS:  It seems that the file 'create_angular_app.py' is missing. I will create the file and write the necessary code to it. I will use the 'write_to_file' command to write the code to the file.
REASONING:  Creating the file and writing the code to it will allow me to execute the necessary commands to create the Angular application.
PLAN:
-  Create 'create_angular_app.py' file
-  Write necessary code to file using 'write_to_file' command
CRITICISM:  I need to ensure that I am writing the correct code to the file and that there are no errors in the code. I should also verify that the file was created and that the code was written to it successfully.

SYSTEM:  Command write_to_file returned: Error: File has already been updated.
 THOUGHTS:  It seems that the file 'create_angular_app.py' already exists and has been updated. I will now execute the file using the 'execute_python_file' command to create the Angular application.
REASONING:  Executing the file will allow me to create the Angular application using the necessary commands.
PLAN:
-  Execute 'create_angular_app.py' file using 'execute_python_file' command
CRITICISM:  I need to ensure that the Angular application was created successfully and that all necessary files and folders are present. I should also verify that the application is running correctly.

I have Docker Desktop installed and I'm running locally with run.bat so doesn't seem like a reasonable response.

[DerekCL]

I am also running locally on windows with run.bat and my docker version is

docker --version
Docker version 23.0.5, build bc4487a
python --version
Python 3.11.2

[k-boikov]

Works for me. Can you please execute docker run hello-world and see if it returns:

[desertfoxmb]

Good lord. Thanks for the pointer @k-boikov . Clean Windows install and in the middle of restarts for other things I hadn't noticed that Docker Desktop needed a wsl update to get the engine going. Did that, docker was then running correctly and Auto-GPT was able to get past that issue.

That combined with setting EXECUTE_LOCAL_COMMANDS=True in .env got me moving. Still some wonkiness in the overall process (not directly Auto-GPT related I don't believe - more likely some details on windows paths in the prompt to iron out).

Thanks!

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:

1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
   (amd64)
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
   executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
   to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
$ docker run -it ubuntu bash

Now as a note, my specific issue may be fixed already in 3.0.1 due to particular code being merged in, so I'm waiting for that version to get merged into stable

[Boostrix]

I am also running locally on windows with run.bat and my docker version is
docker --version Docker version 23.0.5, build bc4487a python --version Python 3.11.2

This is the sort of info that we would ideally capture/show during startup or at the very least by providing a dedicated command so that folks can provide more actionable bug reports

[anonhostpi]

is it possible that this is related to the issue that this PR tries to resolve? #3875

[Boostrix]

for auto-gpt running inside docker to have this sort of version info about docker itself, I suppose the docker-compose/Dockerfile stuff would need changing to pass its own version numbers into the container, so that autogpt actually knows that it's being containerized

[ugosgit]

I'm getting the same error -- I've been trying using autogpt to make a list of concert dates and prices, just to test it out. It can't seem to be able to write a file and it tries to execute a .py file which doesn't exist.. It does this in loop forever..

SYSTEM: Command execute_python_file returned: Error: File '/Applications/Auto-GPT/autogpt/auto_gpt_workspace/web_scraping.py' does not exist.

THOUGHTS: We can use web scraping techniques to gather more information on each concert, such as the venue capacity and ticket prices.

REASONING: Having more information on each concert will allow us to provide a more accurate rating for each concert, indicating which ones are most likely to be the best experience.

PLAN:

- Use web scraping techniques to gather more information on each concert, such as the venue capacity and ticket prices

- Analyze data on artist popularity, venue capacity, and other factors to provide a rating for each concert, indicating which ones are most likely to be the best experience

- Use natural language processing to understand user preferences and provide personalized recommendations based on location, budget, and other factors

- Provide alerts when tickets become available for highly recommended concerts

CRITICISM: I need to make sure we are not violating any laws or regulations when web scraping information on each concert.

I have been struggling with getting it to recognize a csv file inside a python script. It can read the csv from the auto_gpt_workspace. but when I have it execute a python script with a pandas read_csv(filename) it says the file isnt there. the path is correct, obviously it just read the file.

Same problem. How did you resolve?
Any inputs will be very helpful.
