Bug Description

I was integrating composio cli when I ran into an auth issue which Hermes kept on retry whenever I opened into a fresh session, in multiple terminal.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. run Hermes
  2. ask it to connect composio cli, it opens a web page to login to compasio and it fails
  3. the agents keeps on reopening the login screen even after closing it
  4. while opening a new terminal it should comes there and breaks everything.

fix it!

Expected Behavior

  1. run Hermes
  2. ask it to connect composio cli, it opens a web page to login to compasio and it fails
  3. the agents fails and never gives me an option to add a prompt

Actual Behavior

  1. run Hermes
  2. ask it to connect composio cli, it opens a web page to login to compasio and it fails
  3. the agents fails and never gives me an option to add a prompt
  4. even after terminating the command and opening a new Hermes session on diffrent terminal goes to the same loop, before even sending my first message.

Affected Component

CLI (interactive chat)

Messaging Platform (if gateway-related)

N/A (CLI only)

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by ensuring that only one instance of Hermes is running at a time to prevent authentication conflicts.

Guidance

  • Verify that no other instances of Hermes are running in the background before starting a new session.
  • Check the authentication flow to ensure that it properly handles multiple instances and shared authentication.
  • Investigate the waitForAuthCode function to understand why it's being called in secondary instances and how to prevent this unexpected behavior.
  • Consider implementing a mechanism to detect and prevent multiple instances of Hermes from running simultaneously.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue lacks specific details about the implementation.

Notes

The root cause of the issue is unclear, but it appears to be related to multiple instances of Hermes interfering with each other's authentication processes. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause and implement a permanent fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Ensure that only one instance of Hermes is running at a time to prevent authentication conflicts, as this seems to be the most straightforward way to mitigate the issue until a more permanent solution can be found.
