Hi All !

I have been playing around with AutoGPT for a few days now, and it had been running quite well until yesterday afternoon. I am very much unsure what change but this is the error i keep getting now :

Not sure why , as It started fairly randomly. I am no developper whatsoever , so if anyone could help, I would very much appreciate it !!
thanks

hum, got it again a bit after in another request (master branch)

[imfleabagg]

Not sure what is causing this , I am using stable branch, would you mind sharing how you "fixed" it previously? Again sorry, fairly new to this

[ewave-design]

I keep getting that error no matter what i do as well!

Update: So seems like the work around for this issue is to use Pinecone or Redis as the (MEMORY_BACKEND=)

If your using AutoGPT via Git or local install you will need to create accounts with the above mentioned or Use Docker setup which includes Redis setup.

Personally just made an account with Pincone as docker setup was a headace as a novice to these things. hope it helps

[erik-megarad]

Much of this will be fixed when we move to OpenAI functions. In the mean time we can try to figure out a solution.

I am also getting this error. I'm also not a developer and not familiar with what Redis or Pinecone are.

[chenkc805]

How do you create a fresh ai_settings.yaml and what does that exactly do?

[AngryFinn]

FWIW, I too am experiencing this. Worked well for 20ish iterations before bombing out.

This is my first time running it, so I'm not sure if it's a recent commit issue, or a bug that has existed for a while.

For what it's worth, I reverted from the latest version (v0.4.1) back to v0.4.0 (Docker container in my case) and that seems to still work fine, unless this is some kind of external sporadic issue.

[kelteseth]

@Dids same reverting to v0.4.0 worked for me

[lucasmocellin]

@Dids @kelteseth how did you guys revert the version and ran it? sorry very new to all this and tooling

[jefvanlieshout]

I got this fixed on ubuntu. ran the command "sudo chmod -R 777 autogpt/" while in the Auto-GPT folder.

[lucasmocellin]

@Dids @kelteseth how did you guys revert the version and ran it? sorry very new to all this and tooling

I actually changed i docker-compose.yml
from:
image: significantgravitas/auto-gpt
to:
image: significantgravitas/auto-gpt:v0.4.0

but then I got a new error: FAILED FILE VALIDATION The file prompt_settings.yaml wasn't found

I copied the file from the repo, still doesn't work ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[homerdiaz]

Same here. macOsBigSur/Docker/GPT3.5/Auto-gpt 4.1

looks like reverting should work

Same issue as @lucasmocellin

I was able to revert to 0.4.0, and then apply this hotfix:

[katmai]

Not sure if this is the same but i am getting a lot of these as well "Error parsing JSON response with literal_eval '{' was never closed (, line 1)"

[QvQQ]

Have the same issue. If anyone in the future find a way to solve it plz kick my ass.

[VPetar]

I'm also lining up here for ass-kicking like @QvQQ

[AdamSoufiane]

same issue after ti was working for a day or two.

[ondrejlohnisky]

I hope it helps someone:
version significantgravitas/auto-gpt:v0.3.1 is the one that works for me.
simply make a empty directory bot/ or something

1. create docker-compose.yaml

version: "3.9"
services:
  auto-gpt:
    image: significantgravitas/auto-gpt:v0.3.1
    depends_on:
      redis:
        condition: service_started
    env_file:
      - .env
    environment:
      MEMORY_BACKEND: ${MEMORY_BACKEND:-redis}
      REDIS_HOST: ${REDIS_HOST:-redis}
    profiles: ["exclude-from-up"]
    volumes:
      - ./auto_gpt_workspace:/app/autogpt/auto_gpt_workspace
      - ./data:/app/data
      ## allow auto-gpt to write logs to disk
      - ./logs:/app/logs
      ## uncomment following lines if you want to make use of these files
      ## you must have them existing in the same folder as this docker-compose.yml
      #- type: bind
      #  source: ./azure.yaml
      #  target: /app/azure.yaml
      #- type: bind
      #  source: ./ai_settings.yaml
      #  target: /app/ai_settings.yaml
  redis:
    image: "redis/redis-stack-server:latest"

2. create .env i use LocalAI to host my local LLM's so set the proper url, for me i had to use SSL I created proxy pass with certbot for that. (It was refusing connection...)

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk---anystringhere
OPENAI_API_BASE=https://your_domain:443/v1

3. run sudo docker-compose run --rm auto-gpt --gpt3only in that directory

Hope it helps! 🥇

[cfytrok]

The problem is that gpt sometimes responds in markdown format and starts the response with "```json". To force responses in bare json, you can add the beginning of the response to the request.
prompt.append(Message("assistant", """thoughts: {text:"""))
The problem is that the beginning of the response should be merged with the gpt response.

[mariusorani]

The problem is the OPENAI_FUNCTIONS setting. Turn OPENAI_FUNCTIONS=False and the SMART_LLM=gpt-4-0314

[stompinghoss]

Sorry this is a bit long, but I am trying to give a comprehensive explanation and what I tried. I have the exact same error as mentioned at the top of this thread.

I am getting an intermittent error as below. Further down, I’ve explained the different things I’ve tried but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated.

I am trying to follow the tutorial at

https://lablab.ai/t/autogpt-tutorial-how-to-use-and-create-agent-for-coding-game

(though I did not follow their setup instructions. That was because initially, from my previous setup (which had been working for a week or so with various experiments, albeit, all in manual mode), I was not having errors. But since I started getting issues, I’ve tried all sorts of setup routes but everything is breaking with the above parsing error, usually after one or two attempts at the prompt mentioned below.

Here is the prompt, initial results and the error:

So at the prompt I enter: AI Agent for coding

And then I get the following output;

Since encountering this, I’ve wiped out my install and tried a few things, as below.

I have an openai API paid plan and key.
To check it’s being detected in the .env file, if I take the key out, it’ll ask me to enter it at the command line.
I then use the instructions at https://docs.agpt.co/setup/
There are several routes through. I do find them unclear. So here is what I tried (note I did also try instructions you can download on autogpt.net but same results):

First attempt:

Set up with Docker:

mkdir AutoGPT
cd AutoGPT

Create and save the following into docker-compose.yml
(I have docker installed)

version: "3.9"
services:
  auto-gpt:
    image: significantgravitas/auto-gpt
    env_file:
      - .env
    profiles: ["exclude-from-up"]
    volumes:
      - ./auto_gpt_workspace:/app/auto_gpt_workspace
      - ./data:/app/data
      ## allow auto-gpt to write logs to disk
      - ./logs:/app/logs
      ## uncomment following lines if you want to make use of these files
      ## you must have them existing in the same folder as this docker-compose.yml
      #- type: bind
      #  source: ./azure.yaml
      #  target: /app/azure.yaml
      #- type: bind
      #  source: ./ai_settings.yaml
      #  target: /app/ai_settings.yaml

Save a .env file into the same location with the following changes from the .env.template

OPENAI_API_KEY=<my key>
OPENAI_ORGANIZATION=<my org>
SMART_LLM=gpt-4
FAST_LLM=gpt-3.5-turbo

Note, I’ve tried this with JSON file default and got similar issues.

REDIS_HOST=localhost
## REDIS_PORT - Redis port (Default: 6379)
REDIS_PORT=6379

## REDIS_PASSWORD - Redis password (Default: "")
REDIS_PASSWORD=<my password>

## MEMORY_BACKEND - Memory backend type
# MEMORY_BACKEND=json_file

## MEMORY_INDEX - Value used in the Memory backend for scoping, naming, or indexing (Default: auto-gpt)
# MEMORY_INDEX=auto-gpt

## GOOGLE_API_KEY - Google API key (Default: None)
GOOGLE_API_KEY=<my key>

## GOOGLE_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID - Google custom search engine ID (Default: None)
GOOGLE_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID=<my id>

ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=<my key>

then

docker pull significantgravitas/auto-gpt
Then onto the run with docker section

docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.22.0-desktop.2

So I think that’s ok.

docker compose build auto-gpt
(actually, thinking about it, that is maybe redundant...)

Just gives
[+] Building 0.0s (0/0)

Then do

docker compose run --rm auto-gpt

And that will seem to startup:

[+] Building 0.0s (0/0)                                                                                                                                                  docker:desktop-linux

I want Auto-GPT to:

So at the prompt I enter: AI Agent for coding

Then I get a long error above.

I then try changing the .env by commenting out all the REDIS related lines.
I gave it the same prompt.
Result is the same error.
So that route seems to be a failure.

Running it multiple times, I found the error is intermittent.

So then wiped all that and started through the git route from the agpt docs:

git clone https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT.git

Gives the error

warning: the following paths have collided (e.g. case-sensitive paths
on a case-insensitive filesystem) and only one from the same
colliding group is in the working tree:

  'arena/TestAgent.json'
  'arena/testAgent.json'

Tried a few things to get to the stable branch but probably did it wrong so wanted to start fresh with what I thought more likely to work;

git clone -b stable --single-branch https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT.git
Gives:

Cloning into 'AutoGPT'...

Seemed to work.
Put the .env back in.

docker compose build auto-gpt
Seemed to work:

docker compose run --rm auto-gpt

Then I intermittently get the same error.
Tried doing ./run.sh but same results, i.e. intermittent error.

As per someone’s suggestion above, I tried:
SMART_LLM=gpt-4-0314
But I just get an error saying I don’t have access to it.
Per another suggestion, I also tried:
OPENAI_FUNCTIONS=False
But just got the same parsing error.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

[Achulhu]

Sorry this is a bit long, but I am trying to give a comprehensive explanation and what I tried. I have the exact same error as mentioned at the top of this thread.

I am getting an intermittent error as below. Further down, I’ve explained the different things I’ve tried but nothing seems to work. Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated.

I am trying to follow the tutorial at

https://lablab.ai/t/autogpt-tutorial-how-to-use-and-create-agent-for-coding-game

(though I did not follow their setup instructions. That was because initially, from my previous setup (which had been working for a week or so with various experiments, albeit, all in manual mode), I was not having errors. But since I started getting issues, I’ve tried all sorts of setup routes but everything is breaking with the above parsing error, usually after one or two attempts at the prompt mentioned below.

Here is the prompt, initial results and the error:

So at the prompt I enter: AI Agent for coding

And then I get the following output;

Since encountering this, I’ve wiped out my install and tried a few things, as below.

I have an openai API paid plan and key. To check it’s being detected in the .env file, if I take the key out, it’ll ask me to enter it at the command line. I then use the instructions at https://docs.agpt.co/setup/ There are several routes through. I do find them unclear. So here is what I tried (note I did also try instructions you can download on autogpt.net but same results):

First attempt:

Set up with Docker:

mkdir AutoGPT
cd AutoGPT

Create and save the following into docker-compose.yml (I have docker installed)

version: "3.9"
services:
  auto-gpt:
    image: significantgravitas/auto-gpt
    env_file:
      - .env
    profiles: ["exclude-from-up"]
    volumes:
      - ./auto_gpt_workspace:/app/auto_gpt_workspace
      - ./data:/app/data
      ## allow auto-gpt to write logs to disk
      - ./logs:/app/logs
      ## uncomment following lines if you want to make use of these files
      ## you must have them existing in the same folder as this docker-compose.yml
      #- type: bind
      #  source: ./azure.yaml
      #  target: /app/azure.yaml
      #- type: bind
      #  source: ./ai_settings.yaml
      #  target: /app/ai_settings.yaml

Save a .env file into the same location with the following changes from the .env.template

OPENAI_API_KEY=<my key>
OPENAI_ORGANIZATION=<my org>
SMART_LLM=gpt-4
FAST_LLM=gpt-3.5-turbo

Note, I’ve tried this with JSON file default and got similar issues.

REDIS_HOST=localhost
## REDIS_PORT - Redis port (Default: 6379)
REDIS_PORT=6379

## REDIS_PASSWORD - Redis password (Default: "")
REDIS_PASSWORD=<my password>

## MEMORY_BACKEND - Memory backend type
# MEMORY_BACKEND=json_file

## MEMORY_INDEX - Value used in the Memory backend for scoping, naming, or indexing (Default: auto-gpt)
# MEMORY_INDEX=auto-gpt

## GOOGLE_API_KEY - Google API key (Default: None)
GOOGLE_API_KEY=<my key>

## GOOGLE_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID - Google custom search engine ID (Default: None)
GOOGLE_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID=<my id>

ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=<my key>

then

docker pull significantgravitas/auto-gpt Then onto the run with docker section

docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.22.0-desktop.2

So I think that’s ok.

docker compose build auto-gpt (actually, thinking about it, that is maybe redundant...)

Just gives [+] Building 0.0s (0/0)

Then do

docker compose run --rm auto-gpt

And that will seem to startup:

[+] Building 0.0s (0/0)                                                                                                                                                  docker:desktop-linux

I want Auto-GPT to:

So at the prompt I enter: AI Agent for coding

Then I get a long error above.

I then try changing the .env by commenting out all the REDIS related lines. I gave it the same prompt. Result is the same error. So that route seems to be a failure.

Running it multiple times, I found the error is intermittent.

So then wiped all that and started through the git route from the agpt docs:

git clone https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT.git

Gives the error

warning: the following paths have collided (e.g. case-sensitive paths
on a case-insensitive filesystem) and only one from the same
colliding group is in the working tree:

  'arena/TestAgent.json'
  'arena/testAgent.json'

Tried a few things to get to the stable branch but probably did it wrong so wanted to start fresh with what I thought more likely to work;

git clone -b stable --single-branch https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT.git Gives:

Cloning into 'AutoGPT'...

Seemed to work. Put the .env back in.

docker compose build auto-gpt Seemed to work:

Then I intermittently get the same error. Tried doing ./run.sh but same results, i.e. intermittent error.

As per someone’s suggestion above, I tried: SMART_LLM=gpt-4-0314 But I just get an error saying I don’t have access to it. Per another suggestion, I also tried: OPENAI_FUNCTIONS=False But just got the same parsing error.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Tried many of the same steps and suggestions, ended up here as well. For the amount of people using AutoGPT successfully and the amount encountering the same error there is clearly a missing link somewhere. I can't event get --help to successfully load all the way.

I hope it helps someone: version significantgravitas/auto-gpt:v0.3.1 is the one that works for me. simply make a empty directory bot/ or something

1. create docker-compose.yaml

If you are using a local server or whatever your server settings for your model is. Sure that in the Prompt formatting it is not inserting new lines.

It worked for me give it a try!

The problem is the OPENAI_FUNCTIONS setting. Turn OPENAI_FUNCTIONS=False and the SMART_LLM=gpt-4-0314

Seems to help

[rodrigolopezguerra]

The problem is the OPENAI_FUNCTIONS setting. Turn OPENAI_FUNCTIONS=False and the SMART_LLM=gpt-4-0314

Maybe this is working because this is realated to :
https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling
We are aware of an issue with non-ASCII outputs in gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 and gpt-4-1106-preview, and are working on implementing a fix. When these models generate a function call and the arguments include non-ASCII characters, the API may return Unicode escape sequences instead of the Unicode character directly. For example, arguments may look like {"location": "D\u00fcsseldorf"} instead of {"location": "Düsseldorf"}. Most applications should not be affected by this, as JSON parsers in languages like Python and Javascript will parse these strings into the correct objects. To stay updated on this topic, please subscribe to [this community forum thread](https://community.openai.com/t/gpt-4-1106-preview-messes-up-function-call-parameters-encoding/478500).
