Error: No buffer number provided by the LLM

[yngwi]

Hi, I frequently get the Error Tool EDITOR finished with error(s): { "No buffer number provided by the LLM" }

What is the reason for this? What I am mostly trying is asking a series of questions leading up to an edit and once I'm satisfied I ask something like @editor, please implement the suggestions. This results in the creation of XML code in the Answer and the error above. Is this a usage error on my part? How do I correctly use the @editor on the current buffer?

Have you shared a buffer with it? It needs to know the buffer number to edit. From the docs:

The @editor tool enables an LLM to modify the code in a Neovim buffer. If a buffer's content has been shared with the LLM then the tool can be used to add, edit or delete specific lines. Consider pinning or watching a buffer to avoid manually re-sending a buffer's content to the LLM.

that's from the debug view:

local settings = {
  temperature = 0,
  model = "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022",  -- "claude-3-5-haiku-20241022", "claude-3-opus-20240229", "claude-2.1", 
  max_tokens = 4096,
}

There's no buffer number in the XML. Are you sure you shared the buffer? Claude shouldn't be making these mistakes

Here's a link to the editor tool:

Use of the buffer number is super explicit in the schema

Thank you for the pointer. I don't see what could be wrong. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I guess that's just dependent on what the LLM actually creates. I will observe it a bit more, maybe I see a pattern. Anyways, thank you for the great extension!
