Error stopped project. How can I resume where it left off?

[JasonADuprat]

Below is an error that caused the program to malfunction and terminate.

If the system could store where it was going and resume where it left off, that would be amazing. Is there any way to do this?

Yes, that would be a very useful feature. I'm running a very long task and crossing my fingers because it's been going quite well so far and I'm afraid I could lose everything.

Maybe you could put that log in the working directory and ask another agent to pick up the job where the first one left off?

[r3ifi3r]

We should build this as flags and add support for multiple types of persistence layers. i.e. —persist or —resume or —record and support for multiple databases or file storage or in memory. We need a way to gracefully resume and record agents and offer adaptive ways of doing so. Different types of persistence layers can be used for backup when it’s critical to record an agent.

[BenGost]

So if I understand correctly, it is currently impossible to resume where is after leaving?

[josephtribulat]

No, you can resume after leaving if you terminated the script gracefully, but not after a crash.

[telemole]

how does one resume? when i run again I'm simply asked to start over :(

[josephtribulat]

@telemole
Maybe you have some configuration issue (like write permissions) that prevents Auto-GPT to store its state for future use? When I open a new session, it asks "Do you want me to continue to be {name of previous instance} ? Y/N" and if I say yes, it retrieves its former instructions.

[HenriqueParraFerreira]

I can see that all the log is saved in the auto-gpt.json file. The file is cleared when you start over again. I've backed up the file into a copy and asked autogpt to read the file and start from where it stopped by reading this file. The issue now is the prompt size because autogpt is trying to prompt the file content into the openAI module.

Heads up:
