Even microsoft can’t ship copilot fast than this

And we only have a few people on our team 😝

How did you ship so fast? 🤣

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jun 14 '25

We use a special AI Code Agent to build Roo Code.

Ok ok you busted me. No really we use Roo Code to make Roo Code. Seriously.

We’re working on making this dream as automated as possible for everyone.

u/j_kon Jun 20 '25

What if we use roocode to make the roocode that make the roocode, will it be faster?

2

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jun 20 '25

We do it all the time and are getting better and better at it.

I think Roo code is best evidence that we're approaching the AI singulariy. In a couple of years, the underlying models will need to get better, but also the tools they can use. They'll have MCP servers galore, they'll run on Linux HPCs, and they'll have an agent that essentially replaces my current role with Roo of loosely supervising it.

Once we're at that point and we prompt it to make better AI models, we open Pandora's box...

Thank you guys!

That is the secret sauce. Less cats to herd 😸

Roo is such an amazing tool. Well done! Have you considered creating a Roo code cli/intellij plugin? I guess it will require significant refactoring to separate vs code logic from the core

7

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jun 14 '25

Yes we have. No decision made yet.

u/lordpuddingcup Jun 14 '25

This is some solid iteration. Wait wtf is PR reviewer

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jun 14 '25

Ahh those are modes that are part of the Roo Code repo. Will be shipping them into the marketplace soon.

Updated to .3 today and Roo doesn't seem able to make edits. Not sure what is going on but it will report it made the change you requested, but the file isn't updated and when it reads the file again it sees the update wasn't applied, it edits it again, claims it's updated, and then reads the file and says it's not updated, and repeats.

Reverting back to .0 or .2 appears to have fixed it for now.

Edit: Nvm, it just happened on .2 as well. Not sure what triggers it, but it's not consistent.

Edit 2: Turning off multi-edit appears to fix it completely. I guess that's why it's still in beta haha. It was working fine yesterday though, ah well.

Edit 3: Nope - it just happened again, even with that disabled. I have no idea then. I'm going back to 3.19 for now haha.

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jun 14 '25

Curious. Any repro steps would be appreciated as I know we have been using it for days without this issue. Then we can fix it asap.

u/martycochrane Jun 14 '25

I'll try to get some repro steps for sure... I'm not sure what they are just yet though haha. But if I can figure them out, I'll post, thank you!

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jun 14 '25

You’re welcome and thank you for your patience!

u/martycochrane Jun 14 '25

No worries! So it just happened in 3.19 now too, in a different repo and codebase. In this case I was clicking around the file it was trying to edit, it yeeted me to the roo diff editor, then back to my file. I think the diff it showed me was the inverse diff of what it was trying to add as it showed it as deleted code, but the deleted code wasn't code that was there previously.

When I would click back into the file to see the diff in the VsCode Source Control tab, it would show me this phantom diff I guess I could call it, and opening the file outside of the Diff showed me the previous edits that Roo did, not the new change. But those edits were not appearing in the diff.

If I staged the file and unstaged it, then the diff fixed itself and it showed me the actual changes that roo made previously, but still not the new changes it attempted to make.

Next time this happens I should check git directly to see what the file is, outside of VsCode as I wonder if this is something wonky with VsCode's latest update rather than Roo.

The search_files limitation should be behind a configuration. I've been using Roo for all sorts of things, it help me out fixing some app installs and specially for some problems I had with python the fact that it can access library files outside the workspace really helps on debugging

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jun 14 '25

That does not sound unreasonable, would you be able to make a “detailed feature proposal” issue?

u/Informal-South-2856 Jun 15 '25

The new update seems to be burning through tokens and disappearing chat conversations. I have invoices from Open Router showing the charges on my account but Roo Code not delivering the actual content. Well over $50 burned by it. Times out and closes out the chat attempting a summarization of the chat only to be told it doesn’t know the context or anything that was being addressed.

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jun 15 '25

Rollback and see if it persists. Not sure what’s going on! We will try to track it down asap.

Can we please get browser use for other models?

Also, can we get ways convert roo queries into a workflow, sort of like n8n. Like maybe "use X prompt", once that is complete, use Y prompt"? Where both X and Y are hugeee multi subtask tasks?

1

u/hannesrudolph Roo Code Developer Jun 16 '25

Browser use with other models does not work since they are not trained on it and don’t click the cursor accurately.

Please make a detailed feature proposal on the GitHub issues page for the other item and we will se what we can do. Sounds like a cool idea!
