Fixing Issues in Your Project

ProjectCodr now offers a powerful "Fix Issues" feature to help you improve your code and resolve potential problems. This feature is available both after project generation and during the editing process.

How to Use the Fix Issues Feature

1. Look for the "Fix Issues" button in the project actions menu.
2. Click the "Fix Issues" button to open the Fix Issues popup.
3. You'll see two options:
   • "Fix issues automatically": This will scan your entire project for potential issues and attempt to fix them automatically.
   • "Fix specific issue": This allows you to describe a particular problem you want to address.

Automatic Issue Fixing

When you choose "Fix issues automatically":

1. The AI will analyze your entire project.
2. It will identify and attempt to fix any issues it finds, such as syntax errors, missing imports, or logical problems.
3. If issues are found and fixed, your project will be updated, and the changes will be reflected in the changelog.
4. If no issues are found, you'll see a message indicating that your project looks good.

Fixing Specific Issues

To fix a specific issue:

1. Enter a description of the problem in the text area provided.
2. Click "Fix specific issue".
3. The AI will focus on the problem you described and attempt to resolve it.
4. Your project will be updated with the fix, and the changelog will be updated to reflect the changes.

Important Notes

• The "Fix Issues" feature is designed to help improve your code, but it's not infallible. Always review the changes made to ensure they align with your project goals.
• After fixing issues, your project will be saved as a new version, allowing you to revert changes if needed.
• You can use the "Fix Issues" feature as often as you like during the development process to continuously improve your code.

Remember, while the "Fix Issues" feature is a powerful tool, it's meant to assist you, not replace your judgment as a developer. Always review and test your code thoroughly after making automated fixes.
