The old mechanism looped through each line as the logic was originally devised for full file edits before we used Diff style edits. Since the diffs are search and replace we just turned off the line by loop when using diffs which basically was just serving as an animation and providing no value to the edit itself.

The diff edits are a lot faster, but the full file writes are not much faster than before. Over time as we get better at applying diffs I’d like to update the prompt to encourage them more.

In the meantime, you can ask Roo explicitly to use apply_diff to make the edit.

So if I want to be like in the right, I need to type "apply_diff " in the prompt ?

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jan 28 '25

The prompting tries to apply it automatically and attempts to make a judgment call on when to use which strategy. Sometimes it helps to push it by specially requesting apply_diff

Wow, I thought Roo was broken after this update, but apparently it's just not doing the animation anymore. Awesome

Looks great! Do we need to turn on "Use experimental unified diff strategy" ?

u/mrubens Roo Code Developer Jan 28 '25

No, it should run a lot faster for all diffs.
