OpenAITextGenerator.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'api_base'

[pxzbest]

When I use an OpenAI Compatible Endpoint, I get an error 'OpenAITextGenerator.init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'api_base'' How should I handle this error

[vishaljeet828]

I am also getting the same error . I checked there code 'api_base' have been removed from the class OpenAITextGenerator(TextGenerator)

It was removed, yet the README.md file shows the api_base as a usable option. I think it should be removed from the README.md file as well.

Same error trying to use offline model (LM Studio at http://localhost:1234). Two workarounds:

Really Bad Way: Edit OpenAI class definition (_client.py) to change base_url default value FROM base_url = f"https://api.openai.com/v1" TO base_url = f"http://localhost:1234/v1"

Less Bad Way: Edit OpenAITextGenerator class definition (openai_textgen.py) as follows:

In def init() ADD base_url: str = None, In self.client_args ={} ADD "base_url": base_url,

The Really Bad Way got past the initial error but created new problems. The Less Bad Way worked with no errors. I am not a professional and welcome feedback/instruction on how to craft a more appropriate comment.

I had a similar problem. I solved it by exporting the OPENAI_BASE_URL environment variable with my local environment, like this:

export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:11434/v1"

This allows the openai Python library to automatically use the local endpoint. Hope this helps others!
