Running and debugging

Re-runs and follow-ups

Two ways to carry on from a run that has ended: re-run it from one of its processes, as a new run on the board as it is now, or send an agent step a follow-up message in the same session and checkout.

Re-run from a process

Once a run has ended, you can re-run it from any process that ran in it (though not from a step it copied from an earlier run): press Re-run from here on the process's card while the run is shown, or on its step in the run panel. A dialog, Re-run from Fix, opens:

• Each object the process took is in an editable box, as it was. Change what you want; only changed values are sent. An object the run had nothing of is marked so.
• Copied as the run left them lists what came before the process: those steps are copied into the new run as they were, not run again.
• Generated anew lists what the process and everything after it will generate.

Press Re-run. The new run runs on the board as it is now, so you can fix a prompt, a script or a link, then re-run from the step that went wrong without repeating the slow or costly steps before it. In the runs list it shows under the original as Re-run of #R from Fix.

Follow-ups to an agent

An agent step that has finished keeps its session and its checkout. Below it in the run panel is Message the agent: write to it as you would to a colleague, “push it”, “rename that function”, “add a test for the empty case”, and press Send or Cmd+Enter.

1. You ask

   Your message shows as You asked, then The agent is working on it…, with Stop.

2. The agent carries on

   It continues the same conversation, in the same workspace and on the same branch.

3. It replies

   The agent replied, with what it said, or Error if it failed.
