Inspecting trajectories

!!! abstract "Inspecting trajectories" * Trajectories are the main output of SWE-agent. They are the best way to understand what SWE-agent does, especially when running on many problem instances. * We provide two tools for visualizing the .traj files from the trajectories folder more easily. * Use swe-agent inspect (or sweagent i) to open the command line inspector. * Use swe-agent inspector (or sweagent I) to open the web inspector. * Please complete the hello world tutorial before proceeding.

You should see a folder called trajectories in your working directory. Let's go to one of the experiment directories:

bash
cd trajectories/$USER/<some directory>  # (1)!
  1. Don't have a folder here? Make sure to run SWE-agent at least once.

Command line inspector

Run the inspector in the directory containing your .traj files:

bash
sweagent inspect
# or
sweagent i

You will be put into a pager that lets you navigate between trajectories. Here's how to navigate (this is similar to vim keybindings):

  • Use q to quit
  • Switching between trajectories:
    • H and L go to the previous/next trajectory
    • t brings up a list of all trajectories. Use type-ahead search to find a specific trajectory (once your search string results in a single match, the trajectory will be opened). Press <TAB> to cycle through the list of matches.
  • Use h and l to navigate between the steps in the trajectory
  • Use j and k to scroll down/up
  • By default we only show reduced information. You can press v to toggle the view.
  • Press o to open the logs
  • Sometimes you see that you can press e to open a file in your $EDITOR. For this to work, the EDITOR environment variable must be set (e.g., to nano or vim).

Web-based inspector

Run the inspector in this directory (this is where your *.traj files are):

bash
sweagent inspector
# or
sweagent I

The inspector will then be launched in the browser:

{: style="width: 49%;"} {: style="width: 49%;"}

Additional flags

  • --directory: Directory of trajectories to inspect (Defaults to current directory)
  • --port: Port to host web app (Defaults to 8000).

Benchmark results

If you are running SWE-agent on a benchmark (see batch mode), you will see evaluation results as ✅ or ❌. Otherwise, you will see ❓.

!!! tip * If you do not see evaluation results, make sure that the SWE-bench output is called results.json and is in the same directory as the trajectories. * To see gold patches, point --data_path to the SWE-bench dataset.
