Hey Atlassian

I have got Rovo Code up and running with no issues with authentication or setting it up. I am quite impressed with the responses and the way the agent autonomously does things even without full and clear instructions. I just tried out a simple (for now) MVP functional full stack React with Vite + Python Fast api. With minimal inputs and no back n forth - it set up authentication to db integration (Postgres in my case) to docker and all. Although at first these agents living in terminals are quite intuitive (in a nice way) i mean there are no distractions with lines of codes running in IDEs ending up with several errors that needs back n forth. I was quite surprised it did not miss out anything causing silly syntax errors but with a very few hiccups.

Things i like the most: ease of setup, token usage, to the point questions and responses, gets me the latest info from out there as well and above all 20M token every day! Hope it stays the same Lol.

But then no direct image support for now? how about a bit more transparency in terms of function calling flow, any orchestration behind the scenes, etc?

This is where I am stopping for now. I also see the UI with basic functionalities of my AI buddy tutor that was developed is quite impressive.  Yet to try git integration from the terminal directly.image.png

Thanks, Ram

Welcome to Rovo Dev (beta), Atlassian's AI coding agent.

Here are some quick tips:

• Ask Rovo Dev anything in your own words - from "explain this repo" to "add unit tests".
• Type "/" at any time to see available commands.
• Use CTRL+C to interrupt the agent during generation.
• Use /exit to quit.

anyone else with this problem? rovodev won't start because of an MCP initialization error because of which it crashed. the `acli rovodev` command just gets me this error "Error: failed to execute the command". none of the other commands `acli rovodev --version` seem to work. I checked it was an MCP problem on the logs.

Hi everyone, 

We are working hard to address the issues and have included some fixes in the latest version. Please upgrade to the latest and let us know if issues still occur via the /feedback command in interactive mode.

We have also become aware of a number of Windows experience issues, and if you use Windows PowerShell:

  1. For authentication issues, please try authenticating in Command Line instead.
  2. Please try running with Administrator privileges. 

Thank you.

Getting 'An unexpected error occurred, exiting.' on 'Calling create_file' every time.

Confirmed that create_file is set to allow in '~/.rovodev/config.yml'.

Hi @Tanvi Kaur @Peter Wu 

It frequently displays the message 'Failed to generate an LLM response.' When I ask it to continue it, it doesn't resume from where it left off. Instead, it repeats the same steps and loses the context. That seems not very much helpful.

Rovo dev will be indeed very much helpful, but for now facin issue with it. (Undersatdn its in beta).

Thanks in advance 😃

Hey, been through a frustrating issue since last night. And i had to stop exploring.. I ran into repetitive errors as shown below. This started when i attempted to use the /prune command to try and reduce the context window or whatever as the application said. There on repeatedly despite trying --restore - never worked. 

But atlast worked with this below command i did to force delete of all cache, session files, etc. Lost my previous session of my project though!

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.rovodev" 
So, prune cmd never worked. Also restore did not.

You should note that this doesn't work on Windows ARM.

Getting worse results and more wasted tokens as the days pass. Will be abandoning if this worsens. 20 million tokens today barely got devise installed and turbo debugged on a rails app. Thats not possible, its four prompts worth of manual work.

I installed rovodev in my c:\Users directory. How to use the acli command in other directories? Basically, it says that it does not find acli in my project directory?

I actually may have to take back what I commented earlier. I just made a little jira and confluence page and use that for todos. Might be better than claude-code's todo system

hi for anyone who is having auth issues on windows

acli rovodev auth login
✗ Error: authentication failed


i have found success in doing the following - enter your email and press enter then when the console asks for password do the following...

copy your API key to your clipboard (ctrl+c)

right click on the grab bar at the top of powershell/terminal you are using then select edit then click paste in the drop menu that appears - this will paste the password in the correct format expected. it appears that when pasting with ctrl+v its pasting the API key wrong.

i hope this helps a bit. 

Please let me know if this worked for you!

I tried the solution from this article to fix the "authentication failed" error — it worked for me. Just sharing for reference!

If you get stuck with Microsoft Defender flagging rovodev as malware you can get around it by adding an exclusion to the folder where it is stored. Run this from Powershell in Admin mode:

Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath 'C:\Users\<Username>\.local\share\acli\plugin\rovodev\'

That did the trick for me. Also had issue with a broken session which caused rovodev to crasch on startup, resolved that by removing previous session files.

One weird thing is that I wasn't able to type @ character for my email address when logging in, had to switch to English keyboard layout to be able to do that.

So far it's been working really well for me for being a beta release, it complements my Cursor installation really well.

It feels like a rather raw solution - more of an alpha-stage tool.

  • It fails to reliably run dotnet build or dotnet test.
  • There’s no way to insert text into a terminal message, and no option to attach images.
  • It lacks a plan mode, which makes it inconvenient to use for structured tasks.
  • There’s also no init command (sure, you can create the folder manually, but why not make it available by default?).

On the positive side:

  • I really appreciated the easy installation on Windows without needing WSL.
  • It’s also nice that it shows context size and token usage after each task - although the token count appears to be inaccurate.

I tested the exact same prompt and code in both Rovo CLI and Cline - Rovo showed 2.4 million tokens vs. 50k in Cline.

From my perspective, a critical missing feature is permission profiles. Currently, permissions seem to be hardcoded or rigidly embedded in the single system configuration. This results in a very tedious initial setup where the program asks a lot of questions and prompts, requiring the user to constantly click "Allow" for various actions.

It would be vastly better and improve the user experience significantly if, at startup, there were template permission profiles available. These templates could offer different access levels and be pre-configured for various tools or environments (like Node.js, Python, etc.). The user could then quickly select the appropriate level, immediately activating the necessary permissions without the need for repetitive "Allow" clicks during the initial phase and potentially beyond.

@Mats Lycken  can you tell me how you resolved the broken session startup issue? Where are the session files to delete?
