[Bug]: resolver: Error finding issue with empty description

[SanderVocke]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have checked the existing issues. (searched "issue not found")

Describe the bug and reproduction steps

I attempted to do a test run of openhands-resolver on my repo.

I installed the workflow .yml, set the necessary secrets and attempted a fix using @openhands-agent.

The result: https://github.com/SanderVocke/shoopdaloop/actions/runs/11871097079

• the auto-fix step says "issue not found", even though an earlier step of the same run successfully commented on the same issue. To me that seems to mean it is not a permissions/visibility issue, otherwise it couldn't have commented.
• the final commenting step encounters some kind of javascript error, but this could be a side-effect of the earlier error.

Sorry if I missed something obvious. Do you have any idea what could be going on here?

Sorry about this, I'll take a look!

Thanks! And no need to be sorry or hurry. Your project looks great and I'm just taking it for a spin out of curiosity!

[SanderVocke]

I tried making a new issue and the resolver did its thing just fine. Maybe this is a problem with older issues only? If so, feel free to close.

[SanderVocke]

Ah, no. Opened another fresh issue and this time, again OpenHands couldn't find it. It's not just an age thing.

[SanderVocke]

Any idea what might be going on? Would it be useful for me to try to switch to an earlier release of the resolver?

@SanderVocke Please take the following with a grain of salt, since I'm not familiar with the resolver, but looking at the log you posted above, it seems that:

• the resolver skips issues that seem invalid because they have no title, number, or body:

  OpenHands/openhands/resolver/issue_definitions.py

  Line 171 in 16a7dd5

  )

• the issue 245 on your repo doesn't have a body Welcome message SanderVocke/shoopdaloop#245 (comment)

Could you perhaps add some text in the top post on that issue, and try again?

[SanderVocke]

@enyst it seems you are right, that is the cause. Thanks!

I still think this could be improved: a better error message as opposed to an internal error. Or even better: just work with the title even if no description is there. Many small tasks can be described just fine with only the title.
