TL;DR

The Gemini CLI endless loop issue may be resolved by investigating the exported chat history JSON file for potential causes.

Guidance

  • To better understand the issue, please attach the exported chat history JSON file to this issue if possible.
  • Review the JSON file for any unusual patterns or errors that could be contributing to the endless loop.
  • Check the terminal output for any error messages or warnings that may indicate the cause of the issue.
  • Consider testing the Gemini CLI in a different terminal or environment to isolate the problem.

Notes

The provided information is limited, and without the exported chat history JSON file or more details, it's challenging to provide a specific fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate the exported chat history JSON file and terminal output to identify potential causes of the endless loop, as attaching the file and reviewing the output may help resolve the issue.
