I’ve been trying to create a scheduling module in my app, and today I tried taking a new approach as I’m not getting the user experience I’d like to have (the calendar views are wonky when moving schedules around).
I asked Agent to create new database tables because I think that will help separate different types of calendar events (historic events that have been completed, current and future events, and handling when a change happens to schedules in the future). Has anyone experienced Agent telling them actions have been completed then not actually have them in their code or databases?
I’m wondering if it’s user error or I’m running into a bug.

No directly, but I have seen other posts of similar issues and it seems to be Replit (or Agent) caching some data so it thinks it is done but it is not reflected in actual files/DB.
Sorry, but welcome to vibe coding with AI. Sadly, this is par for the course. Very annoying and we all see this kind of behaviour. I wish I had answers, but I just have to keep telling myself it’s getting better all the time, and for now we simply need to factor in a constant need to question what it does and test things over and over.
Worth considering though is starting a new chat now and then, if the old one seems to be starting to make regular mistakes or misunderstand you. This is to do with the size of the context in the chats - like its s.hort term memory. Once its memory fills up it starts to lose stuff (first in, first out), and the simple solution is start a new chat.
For sure, this was a new-ish chat after running into similar issues on the last one. This is the first time I’ve been hard stuck without finding some kind of workaround to get Agent to work, so I would say over a few month period, still lightyears ahead of where I would have been 5 years ago!
I’ll try restarting again and create some of the tables prior to prompting to see if that helps. Just checking to see if other people were experiencing similar issues and how they’ve handled it, thanks for the feedback!
It does tend to celebrate itself quite a bit, even if it isn’t performing well. An annoying personality quirk.
