[Bug]: can't convert to a symbol and validateJson file error

[Cinemacloud]

What happened?

When running backend with npm only, I have setup my keys I believe correctly and try to interact with OpenAI but upon submitting my question, the socket to openai closes without much explanation but I do see this in the logs of /api

I see this in error log only: {"level":"error","message":"There was an uncaught error: Cannot convert a Symbol value to a string","stack":"TypeError: Cannot convert a Symbol value to a string\n

Can you send me an invite to view link or paste contents I'm not authorized to view it

here it is: https://discord.librechat.ai

[danny-avila]

v18.18.2

Ok, I can't really reproduce it, this is why I asked for the node version in case that was the culprit. Need a bit more context.

Is this just upon running the server? How exactly did you install LibreChat? Also what is your operating system?

I tried earlier the docker-compose method but I could not seem to connect to the local port or get it to actually use the host and domain and port values from .env so I embarked on manually building it for Linux/Digital Ocean docs generally.

It is on Rock Linux 9.2 and aforementioned Node version running from /usr/local/Librechat

I wish this was as easy to get running as PandoraAi was (btw thanks to you Danny) but its just so simple, Libre looks worthwhile to get integrated and running.

If you want to dm me on discord I can add your pk to ssh if you want to have a look.

I do think it's easy and I will have a one-click setup solution soon for DigitalOcean.

If you have node/npm setup and running, can you try npm run reinstall from the project directory?

Done then just rerun backend:dev? Oh and btw I did see this one warning only:

dist/assets/index-JZGSl-ZT.js 642.66 kB │ gzip: 176.62 kB dist/assets/vendor-e8WVszf_.js 1,605.61 kB │ gzip: 485.45 kB

(!) Some chunks are larger than 500 kB after minification. Consider:

• Using dynamic import() to code-split the application
• Use build.rollupOptions.output.manualChunks to improve chunking: https://rollupjs.org/configuration-options/#output-manualchunks
• Adjust chunk size limit for this warning via build.chunkSizeWarningLimit.

Not sure if that's causal but no errors

[danny-avila]

Oh and btw I did see this one warning only:

This can be ignored. It's planned to optimize bundles but it's a non-issue at this point.

Done then just rerun backend:dev?

Yes, then run the app.

➜ npm run backend:dev

So I then go here http://kro.ma:3080/c/new

and type 'hi' in chat or whatever and it immediately gives aforementioned error on backend:dev console and stops till restarted

As discussed on discord, traverse npm module at version 0.6.7 may be causing the issue, and you might've updated the package somehow. I was able to reproduce with this version, as well as took other measures to completely avoid the issue. I will avoid bumping that package for now, too.
