What happened?

When working with the gemini CLI, if I don't set the auto-accept edits mode, a window pops up, for example Edit, showing how many files I need to edit: 1 of 3. When I accept the changes by selecting the first option, a window showing 2 of 3 appears, at which point the console freezes and no keystrokes help me continue working or editing the files. I have to enable auto-accept edits for batch editing, which isn’t very convenient, and this problem clearly didn’t exist before.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the files to be edited sequentially by selecting the first option if I agreed with the changes.

TL;DR

The issue can be temporarily worked around by enabling auto-accept edits mode for batch editing, but a more permanent solution would involve investigating and resolving the console freeze issue when manually accepting edits.

Guidance

  • Investigate the console freeze issue by checking for any error messages or logs that may indicate the cause of the freeze.
  • Try to reproduce the issue with a smaller set of files to see if the problem is related to the number of files being edited.
  • Consider filing a bug report with the Gemini CLI developers, as this issue may be a regression introduced in version 0.39.1.
  • Check the Gemini CLI documentation or community forums for any known issues or workarounds related to manual edit acceptance.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to a CLI tool and its behavior, rather than a programming code issue.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Gemini CLI version 0.39.1, and the user has already identified a workaround by enabling auto-accept edits mode. However, this workaround may not be convenient for all use cases.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Enable auto-accept edits mode for batch editing, as this is the only known way to avoid the console freeze issue at this time.
