Pressing enter: WRONG RESPONSE?

Gemini API
1

Pressing enter on Gemini overwrites & types in old responses (only 1 before) it’s so annoying. I lose like whole paragraphs to command codes like re-gen but switch it up again. literally the most annoying and useless operation and it makes me want to do something not so nice to myself.

Hi @Ron_Russell,

Welcome to the Google AI Forum! :confetti_ball: :confetti_ball:

Can you be specific on which platform are you referring to.. I have tried on my end in Gemini and AI Studio and couldn’t see such behavior on my end.

Your keyboard shortcuts could be the culprit.. Can you please check

WRONG RESPONSE," there are a few potential reasons why this is happening. The most likely cause is that the console or API is expecting a specific type of input or a complete command, and a blank line or a simple carriage return is not recognized as valid input.

Possible Reasons and Solutions

  • Incomplete Command: Many console applications and APIs require a full command to be entered, not just a blank line. The system might be designed to wait for a specific instruction or a complete query before processing. Hitting “enter” without any text is interpreted as an invalid or empty request.

  • API or System Requirements: The Gemini API, like many others, expects a well-formatted JSON object or a specific type of data payload as a request. A simple “enter” key press doesn’t provide this. The console might be a front-end for the API, and the “WRONG RESPONSE” is a general error message indicating that the request didn’t meet the API’s requirements.

  • Input Delimiter: The system may be looking for a specific character or sequence to signify the end of the input, such as a semicolon ; or a specific keyword like \q (for quit) or \n (for a new line within a multi-line input). Simply pressing “enter” might not be the correct delimiter.

How to Fix It

  1. Enter a Valid Query: Try typing a complete sentence or question before pressing “enter.” For example, “What is the capital of France?” or “Write a short poem about a cat.”

  2. Check the Documentation: Refer to the official documentation for the specific Gemini API or console you’re using. The documentation will explain the correct format for requests, how to terminate a command, and what to do if you encounter errors.

  3. Look for Examples: Many APIs and console applications provide example commands or queries. Try copying and pasting one of these examples to see if it works.

If you continue to experience issues, a more detailed error message from the console would be helpful. The “WRONG RESPONSE” message is generic, but the underlying error might be more specific, like “Invalid JSON” or “Missing Required Field.”
