"InvalidRequestError: 'content' is a required property - 'messages.2'

[largomst]

Describe the bug When running the command interpreter --use-azure -y, the program terminates with an InvalidRequestError, stating that 'content' is a required property for 'messages.2'.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the command interpreter --use-azure -y
2. See error

Expected behavior The program should run without error, and 'messages.2' should contain a 'content' property.

Environment:

• OS: [13.2.1 (22D68)]
• Python Version [3.11]

I am experiencing the same issue with using Azure OpenAI.

[jfischburg-us]

Ditto.

[deifius]

I believe I am having a similar issue when --using-azure. When the REPL prints to screen, interpreter attempts to send a message with no content property apparently: err dump attached azure_message_no_content.txt

[zhechenghu]

I also have the same issue. Both on my linux desktop and my Macbook

[zhuSilence]

I also have the same issue on macOS.

[deifius]

I wonder if a try/except clause that checks for content in the message, and if not present adds a 'content':'' attribute to the message before sending might resolve the unhandled exception.

[jfischburg-us]

Has anyone else noticed with --debug flag on that the issue seems to occur within an assistant/function message? My going hypothesis is that it's related to role: assistant, function_call messages. i have been looking into litellm and debugging via a local environment, and I'm going to confirm by integrating with llmonitor (a paid for service after 1000/d calls).

Can anyone help to validate/disprove this? happy to do a PR if i can solve this, i do however suspect that code is about to change rather drastically given @KillianLucas note on major refactor about to drop any day.

Here is what I'm seeing, asking only the question below; error does not seem to trigger if llm does not see need for a formula/code. Running with "interpreter --use-azure --debug -y". Note: I have made numerous changes to code as I have come across issues, my display in debug may vary:

What is 2+2

Observe there is no content within the above example, which also happens to be "messages.2".

I'm also adding in here that I noticed that the function_schema does not have a content component. I'm testing the following (added "content": ".", after description): function_schema = { "name": "run_code", "description": "Executes code on the user's machine and returns the output", "content": ".", "parameters": { "type": "object", "properties": { "language": { "type": "string", "description": "The programming language", "enum": ["python", "R", "shell", "applescript", "javascript", "html"], }, "code": {"type": "string", "description": "The code to execute"}, }, "required": ["language", "code"], }, }

Same; this issue seems to be a duplicate: https://github.com/KillianLucas/open-interpreter/issues/115#issuecomment-1723329959

[VectorZhao]

Two weeks have already elapsed, and I assume that the developers shall soon resolve this issue.

[pansusu]

gpt4 is ok

[rachhek]

@pansusu what is your local machine and env? Gpt4 32k or 16k? which version 0613 or older?

[hina2211]

Temporary workaround. If role=assistant and content does not exist, a blank is inserted. Only a few tests have been done.

interpreter.py

            if self.use_azure:

              for message in messages:
                if message.get('role') == 'assistant':
                   content = message.get('content')
                   if content is None:
                     message['content'] = ''

              response = litellm.completion(
                  f"azure/{self.azure_deployment_name}",
                  messages=messages,
                  functions=[function_schema],
                  temperature=self.temperature,
                  stream=True,
                  )

[AndrewNgo-ini]

the problem just because the azure modle: for chunk in response: if self.use_azure and ('choices' not in chunk or len(chunk['choices']) == 0):

Azure OpenAI Service may return empty chunk

    continue

hina2211's work around seem okay for now with me

[GamalC]

I had a similar problem when using GPT-4 through Azure (same code through OpenAI directly was fine). It happened when the LLM returned a function call so there's something in what @jfischburg-us said above. I was able to get around by checking for content and inserting it into the message if it was absent as @hina2211 suggested. However I wasn't able to set it to a blank because it returned an error: ValueError: You cannot set content to an empty string. We interpret empty strings as None in requests.You may set { "role": "assistant", "function_call": { "name": "xxxxx", "arguments": "{xxxxxx}" } }.content = None to delete the property

Setting it to some random string worked though. Hoping a proper fix will be announced soon.

same here, use Azure open AI chatcompeltion

I believe this is a duplicate of #115.

Let’s close this one and keep the conversation thread in one Issue.

                   if content is None:
                     message['content'] = ''

              response = litellm.completion(
                  f"azure/{self.azure_deployment_name}",
                  messages=messages,
                  functions=[function_schema],

                  stream=True,
                  )

it works! thank you
