Troubleshooting

When you get into trouble...

Every system has its quirks, and every user has their own way of doing things. This page is a collection of common issues and their solutions. If issues can't be solved by the solutions here, please open an issue on GitHub.

Troubleshooting using ai-writer​

429 error​

When you encounter a 429 error, it means that you have exceeded the rate limit of the OpenAI API. This can happen when you run a large number of recipes. Although I sometimes get this error executing a single recipe as well, just try again...

401 error​

When you encounter a 401 error, it means that you have not set the OPENAI_API_KEY variable in the .env file correctly. You can find your API key on the OpenAI dashboard.

Troubleshooting executing TypeScript files using tsx​

When you execute a TypeScript file using npx tsx <file> and you get an error similar to:

node:internal/errors:490
    ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);
    ^

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/home/svdoever/p/ai-writer/apps/ai-writer-examples/eli5-multiple.ts' imported from /home/svdoever/p/ai-writer/apps/ai-writer-examples/

}

Look at the path not found, your specified file is taken relative to the project root folder. Specifying the complete relative path can help, e.g. npx tsx scripts/eli-multiple.ts.

When tsx is installed globally using npm install tsx -g the script can be executed using tsx ./eli5-multiple.ts.

Troubleshooting developing ai-writer​

Can't execute ai-writer​

I do all my development on WSL, the Windows Subsystem for Linux. If I try to execute npx ai-writer in the folder ai-writer-examples I get the following error: "sh: 1: ai-writer: Permission denied". Fix this by executing chmod +x dist/index.js in the folder apps/ai-writer.
