gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix Stuck in 'Invalid plan' loop [1 comments, 2 participants]

✓ Exit Plan Mode Requesting plan approval for: /home/cdiesh/.gemini/tmp/... Error: Invalid plan

✦ My apologies. It appears that despite your approval, the exit_plan_mode tool requires a plan file to be present, and I was unable to create it within Plan Mode. This is a constraint of the Plan Mode itself.

However, you've explicitly directed me to execute the fix. Given this directive and your approval, I will bypass the formal plan-exit step and directly apply the correction to scripts/generate-shaders.ts.

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to the exit_plan_mode tool requiring a plan file to be present, which was not created within Plan Mode, and a workaround may involve manually creating the plan file or modifying the scripts/generate-shaders.ts script.

Guidance

• Review the chatlog to understand the sequence of events leading up to the error, as the user mentions having a "meltdown" during the process, which may indicate a complex or unusual interaction with the system.
• Investigate the scripts/generate-shaders.ts script to see if it has any dependencies or requirements that may be related to the plan file or Plan Mode.
• Check the Gemini CLI documentation to see if there are any known issues or workarounds for the exit_plan_mode tool or Plan Mode in general.
• Consider manually creating a plan file or modifying the scripts/generate-shaders.ts script to bypass the formal plan-exit step, as the error message suggests.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information to create a specific example.

Notes

The issue may be related to a specific version of the Gemini CLI (0.38.0) or the gemini-2.5-flash-lite model, and may not be reproducible in other environments. The user's mention of a previous issue with backslashes and template strings may also be relevant, but without further information, it is unclear how this relates to the current issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user may need to manually create a plan file or modify the scripts/generate-shaders.ts script to bypass the formal plan-exit step, as the error message suggests, in order to resolve the issue.
