[Bug]: `KeyError: _type` in `api/configuration.py:209`

Open ara-arowana opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

What happened?

When trying to upload a document to OpenWebUI (which is connected to a chromaDB), I get the error shown below. It appears to be an issue with ChromaDB, so I decided to file the issue here.

The full response fo the HTTP request is as follows:

dockeruser@hostname:~/.config/systemd/user$ curl -f http://localhost:8000/api/v2/tenants/default_tenant/databases/default_database/collections
[{"id":"73425857-9b70-4a96-a631-ba80b09272f5","name":"file-f5486ba8-fcdc-4ef1-8bd5-b15f15605697","configuration_json":{"hnsw":{"space":"cosine","ef_construction":100,"ef_search":100,"max_neighbors":16,"resize_factor":1.2,"sync_threshold":1000},"spann":null,"embedding_function":null},"metadata":{"hnsw:space":"cosine"},"dimension":null,"tenant":"default_tenant","database":"default_database","log_position":0,"version":0}]

Let me know if I can provide any further data about this.

Versions

Chroma v1.0.0 (latest docker image) OpenWebUI v0.6.5

i'm having the same issue

After updating chroma update all the dependecies it has.

osamaoam avatar Apr 25 '25 18:04 osamaoam

Hi, as part of 1.0.7, the dockerfile has been updated to run against the upgraded Rust implementation of chromadb, which requires an upgrade to the python client. What version of the python client are you running? could you try upgrading to latest, 1.0.7?

According to DockerHub, that is the hash of chromadb/chroma:1.0.7

But running chroma --version inside the container prints version 1.0.0

I am also having the same issue ! It was all working 3 weeks back. I moved to a new machine and pulled the docker image and unable to use chroma anymore with the chorma http client.

Update the chroma package in your program (not the docker image) with all of its dependencies.

osamaoam avatar Apr 29 '25 14:04 osamaoam

I'm not quite sure I understand you correctly, the dependency of my program is that docker image which I cannot update... Or do you mean something else?

ara-arowana avatar Apr 29 '25 14:04 ara-arowana

If so then its an OpenWebUI issue they need to update their chroma-client communicating with the chromadb.

assuming no part of your application directly makes requests to chroma database.

osamaoam avatar Apr 29 '25 17:04 osamaoam

@osamaoam is right, the docker image itself does not need to be updated, what needs to be updated (as per this image https://github.com/chroma-core/chroma/issues/4380#issuecomment-2831023858) is the chromadb client instance. you are invoking the chromadb client from /app/app/db/chromadb.py, which is running on a stale version. if that version gets upgraded (not the docker image) this will be fixed.

closing this issue now as its also been discussed here https://github.com/chroma-core/chroma/issues/4386
