Known issue with not finding matches? about aider

Thanks for the additional context.

Looks like you are using plain gpt-4, not the new preview model. The older gpt-4 is pretty reliable, but it will sometimes mess up the SEARCH/REPLACE blocks no matter what you try. You may need to do the code change manually and then move on to another task with GPT.

You could also try aider --4-turbo to use the new preview model with a new editing format. It may work better, faster, cheaper for you.

Thanks for trying aider and filing this issue.

What version of aider are you using? Which model?

I recommend updating to the latest aider version and using aider --4-turbo to use GPT-4 Turbo.

Sorry, I should have put that above:

Aider v0.19.1
VSCode terminal detected, pretty output has been disabled.
Model: gpt-4-0613 using diff edit format
Git repo: .git with 47 files
Repo-map: using 1024 tokens
Use /help to see in-chat commands, run with --help to see cmd line args

Keep up the great work, I've been enjoying using it.

Thanks, will give it a go.
