Error when running .\\acli rovodev

[Igor Guimarães Ribeiro]

Hi, I'm having trouble running the command .\acli rovodev. When I execute it, I get the following error:

OverflowError: can't convert negative value to size_t
[PYI-30444:ERROR] Failed to execute script '__main__' due to unhandled exception!

The full traceback mentions issues loading modules such as tree_sitter_language_pack, nautilus, and nemo.

Could you help me understand what is causing this error and how to fix it? Is this related to a corrupted installation, an incompatible version, or missing dependencies?

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Igor Guimarães Ribeiro 

From that stack trace, I would not start by chasing missing dependencies in your project.

The failure happens very early, while acli rovodev is loading its own bundled modules, and it dies in tree_sitter_language_pack before it even gets to a normal auth or API step.This looks like a local ACLI / Rovo Dev runtime issue than something in your repo.

I would try three things first:

- check .\acli --version

- redownload the latest ACLI for the correct Windows architecture and replace the current binary

- retry before changing anything in the project itself

Atlassian notes that CLI versions are only supported for 6 months, and their changelog also says Rovo Dev can be updated independently of ACLI, so an outdated or bad local build is a very realistic cause here. If it still fails after that, I’d raise it with Atlassian and include the full traceback, ACLI version, Windows version, and CPU architecture.
