chat resume failure

[yglcode]

Reproduce step:

1. export GPTSCRIPT_CHAT_STATE=null; and run a chat.gpt script and save the returned initial state to GPTSCRIPT_CHAT_STATE.
2. rerun the chat.gpt script should be able to resume; however resume failed.

should the following line marshal resp.State in stead of resp?
data, err := json.Marshal(resp.State)

gptscript/pkg/cli/gptscript.go

Line 386 in 52d6974

data, err := json.Marshal(resp)

Thanks

Hi @yglcode! Thanks for your question.

The current implementation is operating as exampled. The resp will contain a few things, one of which is the chat state. In your case, GPTSCRIPT_CHAT_STATE would need to be the state, but the rest of the information in resp is valuable.

Here is a simple example script to show the intended use. Using the --chat-state command line argument is equivalent to setting the GPTSCRIPT_CHAT_STATE environment variable.

#!/bin/bash

RESP="$(gptscript --chat-state null chat.gpt Starter message)"

while true; do
    STATE=$(echo "$RESP" | jq .state)
    DONE=$(echo "$RESP" | jq .done)
    CONTENT=$(echo "$RESP" | jq .content)

    if [ -n "$CONTENT" ]; then
        echo "$CONTENT"
    fi

    if [ "$DONE" == "true" ]; then
        exit
    fi

    echo -n "> "
    read INPUT

    RESP="$(gptscript --chat-state "$STATE" chat.gpt "$INPUT")"
done

Hi @thedadams , thanks for the detailed explanation and help! i am confused by the cmdline doc. it says "...
return the state":
--chat-state string The chat state to continue, or null to start a new chat and return the state ($GPTSCRIPT_CHAT_STATE)
