Summary
Changing edit tool error message in case of match from:
oldString not found in content or was found multiple timesto
oldString not found in contentoldString found multiple times and requires more code context to uniquely identify the intended matchShould drastically improve
editerror handling by the LLM which tend to tunnel vision on the first part of the error (the "not found" part), when the LLM knows it's there, and thus behave like it's a tool error and thinks retrying will make it work.See it in action
