I am having error using the Motoko LLM on icp ninja due to a mops dependency error.

.mops/base@0.15.1/src/Array.mo:66.10-66.27: type error [M0072], field Array_tabulateVar does not exist in module.

So it’s not a great error message but long story short, you should downgrade your base version to 0.14.9

From what I learned about ICP ninja, it doesn’t have the latest versions for motoko and DFX and until it’s upgraded, the latest version of bass won’t work

Thank you so much, it works :folded_hands:
