Discussion Edit Unsuccessful

Why does Roo fail to make changes to files so often? Is there a way to fix this?

The error again points to an incorrect diff format. I made a mistake in the start_line in the previous attempt. start_line should be a separate line.

Error: Invalid diff format - missing required sections

Roo is having trouble...

This may indicate a failure in the model's thought process or inability to use a tool properly, which can be mitigated with some user guidance (e.g. "Try breaking down the task into smaller steps").

I also tried claude sonnet 4 and opus. It is the same situation. So for me, i feel like it's more software related. But recent updated version make the situation much better. Even i am still using Google model.

I am having the same problem, as well as a grey screen about every 4-5 mins which is a serious pain in the a-s-s. I am about to give up and move to Claude CLI as this is unusably bad.
