Description

I'm having a recurring issue where only the text response is shown and not the tool calls, here's a small example:

Image

I can see the tool calls in the JSON response, although they show up before my message in the array:

Image

It appears the bug might be in the logic that session-turn.tsx uses to determine whether a turn has steps or not.

Plugins

None

OpenCode version

1.1.48

Steps to reproduce

This is tricky because it doesn't seem to happen every time, but it does happen often enough in my testing that I only just started using OpenCode yesterday and I've seen it a number of times already.

  1. Write a prompt that should definitely trigger a tool call (e.g. run npm install)
  2. See that no tool calls are displayed in the UI

Screenshot and/or share link

See above.

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04.1

Terminal

I'm running opencode serve on a Linux server and then accessing it via the web UI.

    I investigated this and it seems to be an ordering bug: messages are sorted lexicographically by ID, which doesn't always match chronological order. In the example above, my user message started with msg_c22f27bd, while the tool call message created 2ms later started with msg_c22f2793. Since 2793 sorts before 27bd, the tool call message is placed before my user message and isn’t shown.

    I tested sorting by time.created and that fixed the issue locally. Is there a reason ordering is ID-based today? If not, I'm happy to open a PR with this change.
