CodeGPT Sublime Text Plugin

Question

I recently developed a ChatGPT plugin for Sublime Text, which is designed to enhance the coding experience by enabling users to directly send snippets of code along with specific questions to ChatGPT. This integration aims to provide quick and intelligent responses, facilitating smoother coding workflows.

However I am encountering display issues in Sublime Text where the formatting of ChatGPT's responses is not rendered correctly.

import os
import sublime
import sublime_plugin
import http.client
import requests
import json
OPENAI_API_KEY = ""
class SendToGptCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
 def run(self, edit):
 # Capture the selected text
 self.selected_text = ''
 for region in self.view.sel():
 if not region.empty():
 self.selected_text = self.view.substr(region)
 
 # Prompt the user for additional input
 self.view.window().show_input_panel("Enter your question:", "", self.on_done, None, None)
 def on_done(self, user_input):
 code = textwrap.dedent(self.selected_text)
 # Combine the user's question with the selected text
 data = {
 'code': code,
 'question': user_input
 }
 # Send the data as an HTTP request
 self.send_http_request(data)
 def send_http_request(self, data):
 url = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions'
 headers = {
 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
 'Authorization': f'Bearer {OPENAI_API_KEY}'
 }
 req = {
 'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
 'messages': [
 {
 'role': 'system',
 'content': 'You are a helpful coding assistant.'
 },
 {
 'role': 'system',
 'content': f"context code:```{data['code']}```"
 },
 {
 'role': 'user',
 'content': f"question: {data['question']}"
 }
 ]
 }
 # Initialize result
 result = ""
 
 try:
 response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(req))
 response.raise_for_status() # Raise exception if the request was not successful
 response_json = response.json()
 # Get the HTTP response and extract the completion
 if 'choices' in response_json:
 choices = response_json['choices']
 messages = [] # List to store messages
 for choice in choices:
 # Extract 'message' from each choice
 if 'message' in choice:
 messages.append(choice['message']['content'])
 else:
 messages.append("message field not found in choice")
 
 # Join messages into a single string
 result = " ".join(messages)
 else:
 result = "Choices field not found in response"
 except (requests.RequestException, json.JSONDecodeError) as err:
 result = f"Error occurred during request: {str(err)}"
 
 self.display_result(data['question'], data['code'], result)
 def display_result(self, question, code, result):
 # Create a new buffer (tab)
 new_view = self.view.window().new_file()
 # Set the syntax to Markdown
 new_view.set_syntax_file("Packages/Markdown/Markdown.sublime-syntax")
 
 # Insert the question, code, and response
 content = f"""Question Asked:\n\n{question}\n\n"""
 new_view.run_command('insert', {'characters': content})
 content = f"""Code:\n{code}\n\n"""
 new_view.run_command('insert', {'characters': content})
 content = f"""Response:\n{result}\n\n"""
 new_view.run_command('insert', {'characters': content})

Here is the response:

Question Asked:
Lets test this code ?
Code:
def display_result(self, question, code, result):
 print(code)
 code = textwrap.dedent(code)
 print(code)
 # Create a new buffer (tab)
 new_view = self.view.window().new_file()
 # Set the syntax to Markdown
 new_view.set_syntax_file("Packages/Markdown/Markdown.sublime-syntax")
 # Insert the question, code, and response
 content = f"""Question Asked:\n\n{question}\n\n"""
 new_view.run_command('insert', {'characters': content})
 content = f"""Code:\n{code}\n\n"""
 new_view.run_command('insert', {'characters': content})
 content = f"""Response:\n{result}\n\n"""
 new_view.run_command('insert', {'characters': content})
 Response:
 Sure, please provide the code that you would like to test.
 

This is what the response should look like.

Im not sure why there are all these extra spaces/tabs.

Thanks for the help.

• ViaTech: I can't follow what you are asking. What is the output you don't like? You will need to format the text response

Answer 1

Use 'append' instead of 'insert' or turn auto indentation off: new_view.settings().set('auto_indent', False)
