Gemini can't create or edit files

[paul-gauthier]

Copied @ssillah10 question from #168.

Hi Paul, I am having the same issue but with Gemini. It can't create or edit files. Any suggestions?

[paul-gauthier]

Can you tell me the aider version, exact model name and any other settings/switches you are using? Easiest thing would be to copy & paste the "announcement" lines that aider prints on startup:

Aider v0.XX.Y
Model: gpt-N-... using ???? edit format
Git repo: .git with ### files
Repo-map: using #### tokens

[ssillah10]

Aider v0.30.1
Model: gemini/gemini-1.5-pro-latest with whole edit format
Git repo: .git with 0 files
Repo-map: using 1024 tokens

Hi,
Can you tell me how I can change from gpt-4 to Gemini or Groq models?
Thanks

Aider v0.30.2-dev
Models: gpt-4-1106-preview with udiff edit format, weak model gpt-3.5-turbo
Git repo: none
Repo-map: disabled

@SharadK9 can you show me the problem you are having with aider and gemini? Either take a screenshot, copy & paste the text from your terminal or pull the lines from .aider.chat.history.md.

Thanks Paul. Its working now. Uninstalled aider and then reinstalled again and set groq api key.

this is the error i get

Malformed response #3, aborting.
https://aider.chat/docs/faq.html#aider-isnt-editing-my-files
No filename provided before ``` in file listing

i updated aider but gemini still isn't writing or updating to files, is there a fix?

[paul-gauthier]

Can you show me more of the output? Ideally I would like to see what gemini is sending back as far as the code and the wrapping around it.

Also, you can try using --edit-format diff with gemini. I am about to switch gemini to use that as the default edit format.
