Tasks not loading

App Version

3.16.3

API Provider

Google Gemini

Model Used

2.5

Actual vs. Expected Behavior

Various issues when trying to return to a task.

At first the whole UI seemed unresponsive as clicking on the task did nothing.

Then task showed "Still initializing checkpoint..." message (still displaying 5 minutes later

I then disabled checkpoints and tried again to load the Task and now the Task is completely blank with no messages at all

Strangely enough i just clicked on the + button to start a New Task and instead of starting a New Task i find that the task I was trying to load is there

This also happened a few days ago with an earlier version.

Hello @halhenke! I'm here to help you with any bugs or questions you may have while you wait for a human maintainer. Let's get started!

The issue you're experiencing with tasks not loading and the "Still initializing checkpoint..." message could be related to how the Roo Code application handles task initialization and checkpoints. Here are some insights and potential steps to address the problem:

1. Checkpoint Initialization: The message "Still initializing checkpoint..." suggests that the application is attempting to load a task from a checkpoint, which might be taking longer than expected. This can happen if the checkpoint data is large or if there are issues with the API provider's response time.

2. Disabling Checkpoints: When you disabled checkpoints, it seems the task loading process did not retrieve any saved state, resulting in a blank task. This indicates that checkpoints are crucial for task state persistence and recovery. Without them, the application might not have the necessary data to resume tasks properly.

3. Task Recovery: The fact that the task appeared when starting a new task suggests that the application might have mechanisms to recover tasks even when checkpoints are disabled. This could be part of the task stack management or context management features that ensure task continuity ^[1][2].

4. Troubleshooting Steps:

   • Re-enable Checkpoints: Try re-enabling checkpoints and see if the task loads correctly. This might help in retrieving the saved state.
   • Check API Provider: Ensure that the API provider (Google Gemini) is functioning correctly and that there are no connectivity issues.
   • Update Application: If this issue persists across versions, consider checking for updates or patches that might address this behavior.

If the problem continues, it might be worth investigating further into the application's error logs or reaching out for more specific support related to the Roo Code application.

Can you tell me a little bit more about your git repository? The checkpoints hanging is likely the key to this issue.
