Hey there, @zhouhao27! I'm here to help you out with any bugs or questions you have. I can also guide you through the process of becoming a contributor. Let's tackle this issue together!
To resolve the TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
when creating an index using VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
, ensure that the documents
variable is not None
and is an iterable (like a list) of document objects. Here is an example of how to properly load documents and create the index:
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader
from dotenv import load_dotenv, find_dotenv
_ = load_dotenv(find_dotenv())
# Load documents
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader("./data").load_data()
# Ensure documents is not None and is a list
if documents is None:
raise ValueError("No documents were loaded. Please check the data path and loader configuration.")
if not isinstance(documents, list):
raise TypeError("Documents should be a list of document objects.")
# Create the index
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
Make sure that documents
is correctly loaded and is a list of document objects before passing it to VectorStoreIndex.from_documents()
[1][2][3].

@zhouhao27 Can you please share your "./data" content, this will help us debug faster by getting into the root cause. Thanks!

The first thing I checked is the documents
. I print it out and I also print out the type of it. It has some contents and it's a list.
After I added your code, there is no error you added generated.
Inside my ./data
folder, there is a .md
file and a .pdf
file.
If the documents
variable is confirmed to be a list and contains content, the issue might be related to how the VectorStoreIndex
handles different document formats like .md
and .pdf
.
There are known issues with the VectorStoreIndex
class when handling different types of document formats. Specifically, there is a bug in version 0.6 where if documents are added to the vector using the insert
method, no document IDs get written to the JSON file when the storage context is persisted. However, using the VectorStoreIndex.from_documents
method works fine to save the index [1].
Additionally, ensure that the embed_nodes
function is not returning None
due to the embedding model failing to generate embeddings for the provided texts. This could happen if the embedding model encounters issues with the content of the documents [2].
To further debug, you can try the following steps:
.md
and .pdf
files is properly read and processed.Here is an updated example to include additional checks:
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader
from dotenv import load_dotenv, find_dotenv
_ = load_dotenv(find_dotenv())
# Load documents
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader("./data").load_data()
# Ensure documents is not None and is a list
if documents is None:
raise ValueError("No documents were loaded. Please check the data path and loader configuration.")
if not isinstance(documents, list):
raise TypeError("Documents should be a list of document objects.")
# Print document contents for debugging
for doc in documents:
print(f"Document ID: {doc.id}, Content: {doc.get_content()}")
# Create the index
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
If the issue persists, consider isolating the problematic document by loading and indexing each document individually to identify if a specific file format or content is causing the error.
To continue talking to Dosu, mention @dosu.
for doc in documents: print(f"Document ID: {doc.id}, Content: {doc.get_content()}")
I found I don't have a id
for doc
. Instead I have a doc_id
. get_content()
returns a lot of texts. Looks correct. Is doc_id
the cause of the issue?
Also has a field id_
which is the same as doc_id
.
This is happening inside the openai client, I don't think it's really related to llama-index. Did you set an api key? Did you change the base url or something?

I don't think so. If it's api key issue, I will get different error. I'm able to access openai with API call without any issue.
