TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by adjusting the file reading approach to use offset and limit parameters or searching for specific content instead of reading the entire file.

Guidance

• The MaxFileReadTokenExceededError suggests that the file being read exceeds the maximum allowed tokens, so consider implementing pagination or partial file reads.
• Verify the file path and existence before attempting to read it, as indicated by the File does not exist error.
• Check the current working directory (C:\\Users\\jacque.trahan\\Documents\\TechneauxModuleScripts\\ImportExportTool) to ensure it's correct and the file is located there.
• Review the cli.js file (specifically lines 4845 and 4858) for potential issues with file handling.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context, but consider using parameters like offset and limit when reading files to avoid exceeding token limits.

Notes

The provided errors and environment information suggest a potential issue with file handling in the cli.js file, but without more details about the code or the specific use case, it's difficult to provide a more targeted solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the file reading approach to avoid exceeding the maximum allowed tokens, as this seems to be the most direct way to address the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError.
