I have a TypeScript mono repo It has a bunch of react widgets It’s using older React, npm, and yarn (no idea why the mix, I’m trying to standardize it on one package manager) I asked it to refactor the projects to use npm workspaces, npm, and migrate to vite It refactors the code and then nothing works. it won’t build, after it builds it won’t run, after it runs it won’t load, after it loads the unit tests fail. Now it’s been hours of it trying to fix broken unit tests, it’s making scripts and dumping them onto my PC, it’s scanning my files and replacing strings in the code, says “I see what the problem is” after every problem. This is not a big project at all. what’s the point of this tool if I need to dive in and do the grunt work myself ? am I missing the correct prompt and MD files? Do I watch it fail, then update my MD file and tell it not to make the same mistakes? submitted by /u/daredeviloper
