[Bug]: Refresh Files takes over 10s when Agent is running a Task

[tlpythonuse-colab]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have checked the troubleshooting document at https://opendevin.github.io/OpenDevin/modules/usage/troubleshooting
• I have checked the existing issues.

Describe the bug

When agent task is running, files cannot be refreshed. The /refresh-files fetch request is only fulfilled many seconds later.

Current Version

3d53d363b4416b05046dd390ca37d5745defce5a

Installation and Configuration

make build
make setup-config
export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/docker.sock
make run

Model and Agent

• Model: gpt-4-turbo-preview
• Agent: CodeActAgent

Reproduction Steps

1. Give the agent a simple task (e.g. Write tic tac toe game into app1.py, Python flask, web GUI.)
2. Click refresh files
3. Files are not refreshed until many seconds later; in DevTools network tab, the request is pending until many seconds later.

Best guess is this is an await stealing the event loop

await stealing the event loop

Could that also be the cause of how /messages sometimes has to wait until after agent initialisation before responding?

waiting for the agent's action to be done 😶‍🌫️

Yup I bet that's the case!
