AI Debug Assistant

A CLI tool that uses AI to analyze Python error messages and suggest potential fixes, including code snippets or steps to debug issues. This helps developers quickly understand and resolve issues without manually searching for solutions.

What It Does

  • Analyze Python error messages.
  • Get detailed debugging suggestions.
  • Supports input via CLI arguments or log files.

Installation

Install the required Python packages:

pip install openai rich pytest

Usage

CLI

Provide an error message directly:

python ai_debug_assistant.py --error "NameError: name 'x' is not defined"

Or provide a log file containing the error message:

python ai_debug_assistant.py --logfile path/to/logfile.txt

Environment Variables

Set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate with the OpenAI API:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key

Source Code

import openai
from rich.console import Console
from rich.panel import Panel
import os

    """
    Analyze the given Python error message using OpenAI's GPT model

    Returns:
