Summary

This PR fixes an issue where Roo Code was displaying duplicate retry messages when using OpenAI Compatible API providers that return errors already containing retry information.

Problem

When using certain API providers (like the Qwen3-235B-A22B model mentioned in the issue), the API itself returns error messages that contain retry-related text such as "Retry attempt 1" and "Retrying now...". Roo Code was then adding its own retry messages on top of these, creating confusing duplicate messages for users.

Solution

  • Added a check to detect if the error message already contains retry-related information (using a regex pattern to match "retry", "retrying", or "attempt")
  • When such information is detected, the code now avoids adding duplicate "Retry attempt X" messages
  • The countdown messages are simplified to only show "Retrying in Y seconds..." without the attempt number when the error already contains retry info

Testing

  • Added comprehensive test coverage for this scenario
  • All existing tests continue to pass
  • The new test verifies that duplicate retry messages are not shown

Fixes #6541


Important

Fixes duplicate retry messages in Task.ts by checking for existing retry info in error messages and adjusts retry message logic accordingly.

  • Behavior:
    • In Task.ts, added regex check for retry-related info in error messages to prevent duplicate retry messages.
    • Adjusted retry message logic to exclude attempt number if error already contains retry info.
  • Testing:
    • Added test should not duplicate retry messages when error already contains retry info in Task.spec.ts.
    • Ensures no duplicate retry messages are shown when error message includes retry info.
    • All existing tests pass.

Reviewing my own code is like debugging in a mirror - everything looks backwards but the bugs are still mine. I've reviewed the changes and left some suggestions inline.


// Check if the error message already contains retry-related information
// This prevents duplicate retry messages when the API itself returns retry information
const containsRetryInfo = /retry|retrying|attempt/i.test(errorMsg)

Is this regex pattern intentional? It could match partial words like 'country' containing 'retry'. Consider using word boundaries:


// Check if the error message already contains retry-related information
// This prevents duplicate retry messages when the API itself returns retry information
const containsRetryInfo = /retry|retrying|attempt/i.test(errorMsg)

Could we extract this regex to a constant for better maintainability? Something like:

const saySpy = vi.spyOn(cline, "say").mockResolvedValue(undefined)

// Create an error that already contains retry information
const mockError = new Error("Engine loop is not running. Retry attempt 1\nRetrying now...")

Great test coverage! Consider adding edge cases to make it even more robust:

  • Error messages with 'retry' as part of another word (e.g., 'country')
  • Multiple retry-related keywords in the same error
  • Case sensitivity verification

This would ensure the regex behaves exactly as intended.
