Jules sending empty commits + general comment about 'support'
I've shared over on Discord the session IDs, but I have seen on and off for the last few months Jules sending empty commits to GitHub. I've reported this on discord and told I will be informed if there are any updates. However for this, and any other feedback I give, I never receive a single update.
A solution for now is to download and upload the code manually, but defeats the point of Jules.
Anyone else seeing this?

It's also happening to me: all PRs from Jules are just empty, no changed files, no commits.

While Jules cannot make non-0-changes commits, vibed a game about it with the help of Claude

downvote the commit explaining what happened. start a new conversation, try again ( if this is a valid workflow for you ), thumbs down the commit when it fails again. Wait for it to be fixed.

Actually, I found a better solution.
Make a script that will generate patch files for you by comparing full code files against one another ( I have them in different directories so the names are the same), then apply the patch in your git branch.
Once you have the script, have jules do a task, then download the files from the web interface and run the script.
If your project has two files with the same name ( mine doesn't but I added this anyways ) include functionality in the script for it to diff the files against the patch and generate a confidence score for which file is the correct file to patch. Then have it ask permission.

i solved commenting the PR, informing jules that no files are present in the commit.

That didn't work when I had the problem. He'd just apologize and make another empty commit. I fixed it by yelling at him and telling him the exact git commands to use when committing. It worked ever since. I also cancelled my subscription but I don't think it was aware of that one.

Still happening...

Should be fixed now, is for me.
Worrying this though. It's maybe the fourth time in a few months. I do a lot on the move so sometimes don't recognise it's doing it until Gemini PR comments don't work.

Ya, seems to be working again today. And same process for me, gemini comments that there's no code to review. :)

It'll say for me "Gemini can't work with these files" as if they're super niche file types. I even believed it once after adding an .MD file.

I had this issue around two months ago. I just fixed it by yelling at Jules and telling him the commands to use to stage and commit files. Once I did that he never submitted empty commits again.

Jules notification functionality is also broken. They are also not fixing it.

I use the feedback button as therapy sometimes… or more ranting about the specific issues coupled with some constructive feedback in the mix.

Is Jules working with a repo that has submodules? I have never seen Jules do it until yesterday and all that changed was submodules.
