Incorrect parameters used when calling str_replace_editor tool – view_range used with str_replace command
#35
by wudaolj - opened
Hi everyone,
I'm using a function‑calling tool (str_replace_editor) that has several commands: view, create, str_replace, insert, undo_edit.
The tool definition expects:
- For
str_replace:command,path,old_str,new_str(required). - For
view:command,path, and optionallyview_range.
However, in my tool call I accidentally passed view_range while using the str_replace command, and I omitted the required old_str and new_str parameters.

If `path` is a directory, `view` lists non-hidden files and directories up to 2 levels deep\n* The `create` command cannot be used if the specified `path` already exists as a file\n* If a `command` generates a long output, it will be truncated and marked with `<response clipped>`\n* The `undo_edit` command will revert the last edit made to the file at `path`\nNotes for using the `str_replace` command:\n* The `old_str` parameter should match EXACTLY one or more consecutive lines from the original file. Be mindful of whitespaces!\n* If the `old_str` parameter is not unique in the file, the replacement will not be performed. Make sure to include enough context in `old_str` to make it unique\n* The `new_str` parameter should contain the edited lines that should replace the `old_str`\n",

Question:
What is the correct way to format the arguments for a str_replace operation with this tool? The view_range parameter is clearly invalid here – should I simply remove it and provide old_str + new_str? Or is there a different intended pattern?
Thank you for your help!
