<Source> Tags Visible : Search & Replace Blocks Parsing Fails

[KagemniKarimu]

Issue

When Aider is suggesting changes, as of recent upgrades to v 65.1, I no longer get properly formatted diffs when using bash prompts.

For example:

<source>
<<<<<<< SEARCH
# AI Assistant
export AIDER_VENV="$NAPATA_ENV/aider-env"
export MEDJAT_AIDER_HISTORY="$NAPATA_HOME/.aider.chat.history.md"
export MEDJAT_AIDER_INPUT="$NAPATA_HOME/.aider.input.history"
=======
# AI Assistant
export AIDER_VENV="$NAPATA_ENV/aider-env"  # This is correct as-is
export AIDER_HISTORY="$NAPATA_HOME/.aider.chat.history.md"
export AIDER_INPUT="$NAPATA_HOME/.aider.input.history"
>>>>>>> REPLACE
</source>

As you can see ^^ , source tags are visible in all my output, and thus formatting is not applied:

Thanks for trying aider and filing this issue.

This is because you are editing file which contain triple backticks. In this case aider can't use them to format its own output.

Ah, I see. I was wondering what could possibly be the cause and I knew Bash had something to do with it.
I was using it for godot script in previous versions so I didn't have this issue.

I am a huge fan of Aider and the consistency in your response time and the attention to detail is extremely admirable 💯 🥇 Thanks for all you do 🔥

@paul-gauthier Actually, I just verified that some of the files in question do not seem to contain triple backticks? Do you have any idea what else could be causing Aider to struggle with the formatting ?

[KagemniKarimu]

In these cases Aider will show inactive formatting with backticks:

instead of the source tags being visible.

[paul-gauthier]

Can you show me the entire output? What does /settings tell you about the pretty setting?

[KagemniKarimu]

Running /settings generates:

- pretty: True

Well - I went to start a new Aider session to generate some sample output. Of couse, rebooting Aider caused the issue to dissipate. 😄 Maybe the original theory about backticks is more comprehensive than thought (i.e. when a file breaks the formatting of the agent - it breaks the formatting for that entire chat session?). Admittedly, that was the longest session I ever did with aider, it spanned several files, received warning about unnecessary files in context, and was on-and-off at it for about 3-4 hrs.

I can provide more comprehensive logs from my Aider history if you would like to troubleshoot further.
