Two edits to the same file are broken, if the first edit changes line numbers

[valyagolev]

Basically if there's two edits to the same file, and the first edit changes a number of lines (e.g. changes 3 lines into 2), the second edit doesn't seem to take this into account, and applies the changes wrongly.

P.S. What an amazing tool. It's incredible. Thank you!

actually, maybe the problem is that my autoformatter formatted a file after commit or something like this, which broke the editing. maybe the tool could automatically refresh the files

Thanks for trying out aider and for reporting the issue.

I haven't seen a problem like you are describing. It might help if you looked in .aider.chat.history.md and pulled out the part of the conversation where you had an issue. But I understand if you'd rather not share that data.

The tool does watch for edits to the files and always ensures that it passes the latest file contents to GPT.

Any chance you were changing the file in your editor at the same time GPT was typing a response back at you? There is a possible race condition if you change the file after GPT starts responding, but before it finishes sending you all its edits.

sounds unlikely, but well, maybe? i'll try to reproduce / explore the logs if this happens again

I'm going to close this issue for now. Please feel free to re-open or file a fresh issue if you're able to reproduce the problem.
