Store your initial app prompt - stuck

[couchpotato78]

Hi,

While GPT-Pilot is working his magic I get the following message:

"We would appreciate if you let us store your initial app prompt. If you are OK with that, please just press ENTER"

When I press ENTER I get a message from Visual Studio Code if I want to close GPT-PIlot, when I press NO then the APT-Pilot prompt is stuck with the message "Waiting...."

Dev step 21

This is happened to me a few times now.
Closing Visual Studio and opening the app again in GPT Pilot through Load App results in the next question:
Can I overwrite any changes that you might have made to the project since last running GPT Pilot, I choose YES.
This results in the same question "We would appreciate if you let us store your initial app prompt. If you are OK with that, please just press ENTER", and then we are stuck again.

Let's try to not choose to overwrite any changes, the result unfortunately is the same question "Can I overwrite any changes that you might have made to the project since last running GPT Pilot".

I would like to know what is causing this error and how we can fix this.

I'm having the exact same issue. I was really hoping someone else had this problem and found a solution.
