(ChatDev_conda_env) C:\Users\dimit\ChatDev Doesn't Recognize --task arguement

[dimitryrazell]

Team,

Good afternoon. A hobbiest here trying to get ChatDev up and running to make a meme maker for my wife. I'm on windows in command prompt. I've not been able to get ChatDev to start upon entering the python command. It keeps returning below:

(ChatDev_conda_env) C:\Users\dimit\ChatDev>python run.py --task "Develop a program that allows users to upload phones splice them together add text and generate memes to download with any additional functionality that appears useful" --name "Really_Right_in_Front_of_My_Meme_Maker"
usage: run.py [-h] [--path PATH] [--name NAME] [--fn-module FN_MODULE] [--inspect-schema]
[--schema-breadcrumbs SCHEMA_BREADCRUMBS] [--attachment ATTACHMENT]
run.py: error: unrecognized arguments: --task Develop a program that allows users to upload phones splice them together add text and generate memes to download with any additional functionality that appears useful

I've installed all dependencies without any red flags. I've added the Anaconda and Python paths to my system environment variables. I've set my OpenAI API Key, but did not see a reply or error message when I did so, If there is an expected response, there may be an issue there. I just can't tell. Any assistance is appreciated.

v/r,

Razell

Hi Razell,

Sorry about this — our requirements.txt was not fully aligned with pyproject.toml, and that caused unnecessary confusion.

Our PR #552 has now fixed this.
Please pull the latest code and reinstall dependencies before running again.

Also, --task is no longer supported in the current ChatDev 2.0 CLI.
The current flow is: start run.py with --path/--name, then enter the task when prompted (Please enter the task prompt:).

Recommended Windows CMD commands:

cd C:\Users\dimit\ChatDev

conda create -n ChatDev_conda_env python=3.12 -y
conda activate ChatDev_conda_env

pip install -r requirements.txt

set API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
set BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1

python run.py --path [your yaml path here] --name Really_Right_in_Front_of_My_Meme_Maker

After launch, paste your request at the Please enter the task prompt: prompt and press Enter.
