openai.createImage doesn't surface errors

Open domeccleston opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug

If I try calling the OpenAI API with openai.createImage and my request is malformed, I just get a generic "request failed with status code 400". If I make the request with cURL instead, I can see the reason my request failed (invalid_request_error, rejected due to safety system).

Possible to surface these errors to the client?

To Reproduce

Try to create an image from the Node client with the text "Elon Musk crying laughing emoji"
Observe the error message
Do the same via cURL
Observe the verbose error message

Code snippets

No response

OS

macOS

Node version

Library version

Could you try checking error.response.data or error.message to see if it's captured there? https://github.com/openai/openai-node#error-handling

If not, then we'll look into this! And we also might add this tip to the guide in our docs so it's easier to find.

I'm experiencing this issue as well.

Dumping error.response.data throws a typerror reading property data of undefined. Dumpin error.message gives me error message circular error

{"error":"Converting circular structure to JSON\n    --> starting at object with constructor 'ClientRequest'\n    |     property 'socket' -> object with constructor 'TLSSocket'\n    --- property '_httpMessage' closes the circle"}

Using cURL worked successfully for me as a side not.
