    raise ValueError(
ValueError: You cannot use chroma's cache directory .chroma/, please set a different directory```

in duckdb.py it's raised

        if settings.persist_directory == ".chroma":
            raise ValueError(
                "You cannot use chroma's cache directory .chroma/, please set a different directory"
            )

but in the Get-started userguide it's stated to work

from chromadb.config import Settings
client = chromadb.Client(Settings(
    chroma_db_impl="duckdb+parquet",
    persist_directory="/path/to/persist/directory" # Optional, defaults to .chromadb/ in the current directory
))

by not setting a default -> .chromabd/

but it's set as default in config.py

class Settings(BaseSettings):
.....

    persist_directory: str = ".chroma"
.....

I will fix it in a PR.

I brought this up in #330 out of curiosity, what are you going to do to fix it?

[grumpyp]

oh hi @theoskille, I changed the path to what it should be according to the docs :) Didn't see that you opened something already! But might worth to change it to the actual docs.
