Invalid JSON

[jaumebalust]

It doesn't work?

[jaumebalust]

is it a gpt-4 only modell?

[Torantulino]

Interesting... Would you mind providing me with some more information?

The current version does use GPT4, but if you didn't have access I'd expect you to get a different error than that, unless you modified the code?

If not, how many times have you seen this error, was it just a freak event or does it happen every time?

[sck-at-ucy]

I am getting the exact same error every time. Does not work.

[jaumebalust]

I installed it today. The requirements.txt had problems and wouldn’t install all the dependencies, there is a conflict with docker and request. It also requested a “six” module, but maybe because I played with it. After getting it installed, I changed the model to gpt3.5. And kept getting the error message. The only file I changed are the requirements and the references to model gpt-4.

@jaumebalust You may be experiencing this error because you wrote "For Example: " in your AI Role input.

This is directly injected into the prompt so may cause the AI to act up and not respond with valid JSON.

[jaumebalust]

Ok. I will try to “harden” the prompt so that the model remembers to reply with a JSON

Oh! This is definitely the cause. I haven't implemented GPT3.5 support yet, Auto-GPT currently only works with gpt4.
However, numerous people right here are working on support for GPT3.5 and even other models, hang tight!

I fixed this issue. Just change the starting prompt to "Begin. note only respond in JSON. Come up with your own campaign that follows your goals." instead of "NEXT COMMAND" or something to that effect. And harden the prompt a bit should get the results you need.

[adustyugov]

some problems with escaping in string values. looks like due to prompts(initial or generated ones). we should add checks and escaping for strings

can you elaborate how what you did exactly?

[DataBassGit]

The load_prompt function reads the prompt.txt file from the data subdirectory. If the script is not able to access the file, the most likely reason is that the working directory of the script execution is not set correctly.

To resolve this issue, you can modify the load_prompt function to use an absolute path instead of a relative path. You can achieve this by constructing the absolute path using the os module:

import os

def load_prompt():
    try:
        # Get the current script's directory
        script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
        
        # Construct the absolute path to the prompt.txt file
        prompt_file_path = os.path.join(script_dir, "data", "prompt.txt")

        # Load the prompt from data/prompt.txt
        with open(prompt_file_path, "r") as prompt_file:
            prompt = prompt_file.read()

        return prompt
    except FileNotFoundError:
        print("Error: Prompt file not found", flush=True)
        return ""

This modification should fix the issue with accessing the prompt.txt file. The os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(file)) line retrieves the directory of the data.py script, and the os.path.join(script_dir, "data", "prompt.txt") line constructs the absolute path to the prompt.txt file.

[DataBassGit]

It’s the data.py module. _ _ _ _ _ which file is that in? —

[Torantulino]

This JSON parsing is being fixed in #45

-  Note any projects or resources that will be particularly useful for my goal.
CRITICISM: While this seems like a promising resource, I shouldn't just follow this guide blindly. I should analyze its effectiveness critically and compare it to other resources before committing to its material. Moreover, I should stick to my goal of learning AI via a project-based approach and not drift away from it.

I get this error only with some AI. If I change the role and goals, I do not get the error. But for some AI and role it does not work.

Perhaps "only respond in JSON" could be added to the system message?

was working ok and chugging away nicely then this just appeared and just keeps getting stuck in a rut about it.

Not sure exactly where this issue stands, but wanted to pop in here to show how langchain is using this in their pedantic parser: https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/blob/master/langchain/output_parsers/pydantic.py

The PydanticOutputParser class is a subclass of BaseOutputParser and is responsible for parsing text output into Pydantic objects. Pydantic is a Python library for data validation and settings management using Python type annotations. This class takes in a Pydantic object as a type parameter and uses it to parse the text output.

The parse method takes in a string of text and attempts to extract a JSON object from it. It does this by using a regular expression to search for the first JSON candidate in the text. If a JSON object is found, it is loaded into a Python object using the json.loads method. The Pydantic object is then parsed from the Python object using the parse_obj method. If the text cannot be parsed into a Pydantic object, an OutputParserException is raised.

The get_format_instructions method returns a string of format instructions for the Pydantic object. It does this by getting the schema of the Pydantic object using the schema method and removing extraneous fields such as title and type. The schema is then converted to a JSON string and returned as part of a larger string of format instructions.

Overall, this class provides a way to parse text output into Pydantic objects, which can then be used for data validation and settings management. This is useful in the larger project because it allows for consistent handling of output data and ensures that the data conforms to a specific schema. Here is an example of how this class might be used:

from langchain.output_parsers import PydanticOutputParser
from my_project.schemas import MyPydanticSchema

output_parser = PydanticOutputParser[MyPydanticSchema]()
text_output = "{'field1': 'value1', 'field2': 'value2'}"
parsed_output = output_parser.parse(text_output)

In this example, MyPydanticSchema is a Pydantic object that defines the schema for the expected output. The PydanticOutputParser is instantiated with MyPydanticSchema as the type parameter, and the parse method is called with a string of text output. The resulting parsed_output variable is a Pydantic object that conforms to the schema defined by MyPydanticSchema.

As of v0.2.2 the issue still persists, with a twist. JSON is fixed, or maybe not!

SYSTEM:  Command write_to_file returned: Error: File has already been updated.
Apparently json was fixed.
The JSON object is invalid.
 THOUGHTS:  None
REASONING:  None
CRITICISM:  None
NEXT ACTION:  COMMAND = Error: ARGUMENTS = Missing 'command' object in JSON
SYSTEM:  Command Error: threw the following error: Missing 'command' object in JSON

Error: The following AI output couldn't be converted to a JSON:

so yes, the problem is still there.``

[jwestonmoss]

The problem here is not just that it fails, it's that when it fails in this way, it usually gets stuck in a loop and there's no way to rescue it. when it gets an error at this level it doesn't appear to go back to the ai endpoint for advice, it just keeps trying over and over again without any new input.

[mateusscheper]

Any news about Error: The following AI output couldn't be converted to a JSON:?

[Boostrix]

confirming, saw this today when letting it generate C++ code - at some point, the engine bailed out complaining that the JSON wasn't valid.
However, once thing to be checked first is probably ensuring that this is not due to token/context size limit, i.e. the JSON being cut off because of that - which would render it "invalid" obviously.

[GrahLnn]

If you using gpt3-only command, the invalid json error most will happen when you send something and the response sometimes won't using standard JSON syntax (like add irregular commas), I try to modify the prompt at the last line (prompts.generator.py parsed by Python json.loads) to parsed by Python json.loads with correct JSON syntax anytime after that I didn't encounter the error, hope it can be helpful.

Maybe it makes sense to have a more lenient JSON parser that allows for things like dangling commas, comments, or other such oddities. I think for now theres always going to be a chance that the model responds with something that isn't JSON and as such it should be possible to account for that (to an extent).

[anonhostpi]

Could try parsing it with a JS parser instead of JSON. Actual JS objects have more flexibility than JSON, or maybe using a JSON5/6 parser?

An example solution written in PowerShell (with NodeJS as the JS parser):

$tmpJSONcontents = ConvertFr-Json( Get-Content $jsonFile )

@"
let obj = $tmpJSONcontents
console.log( obj )
"@ | Out-File "temp.js"

node temp.js

Hi fellow contributors,

I've been following the discussion on the "Error: Invalid JSON" error when using ChatGPT in the Auto-GPT project for chat competitions. I'd like to suggest using LMQL (Large Model Query Language) to address this issue. LMQL is designed specifically for interacting with large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and combines the benefits of natural language prompting with the expressiveness of Python.

By utilizing LMQL, we can create advanced, multi-part, and tool-augmented queries with just a few lines of code. This will allow us to construct more precise instructions for ChatGPT, helping it generate correct JSON responses, and consequently, resolving the "Error: Invalid JSON" issue we're currently experiencing.

Here's an example of how we can use LMQL to guide ChatGPT for generating valid JSON:

{
  "task": "generate valid json for chat competition",
  "language_model": "chatgpt",
  "input_data": <user_input>,
  "response_constraints": [
    {"constraint_type": "json_validity"}
  ]
}

By implementing LMQL, the runtime optimizes the LLM decoding loop, which could lead to better performance and more accurate responses from ChatGPT. This could significantly improve the user experience for the chat competition feature in our Auto-GPT project.

Let me know your thoughts on this approach, and if you have any questions or concerns, I'd be happy to help.

[Boostrix]

There's an RFE by @Pwuts himself already, so the project/core devs are more than aware of LMQL already: #3460
LMQL is also mentioned by another RFE he created as being a potentially significant improvement:

• [issue in need of revisiting] Retrieval Augmentation / Memory #3536

I suppose, the discussion (offers to get involved helping) should rather continue there.

What was helping me was comment the following lines in .env:

SMART_LLM_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo
FAST_LLM_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo
