Can't run ingest any more: none is not an allowed value (type=type_error.none.not_allowed)

I tried to run ingest in a new python environment but I got the following error.

12:02:11 ∴ ./ingest.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Environment (please complete the following information): Linux, tried with Python 10, and 11

.env

PERSIST_DIRECTORY=db
LLAMA_EMBEDDINGS_MODEL=/home/g/projects/privateGPT/models/ggml-model-q4_0.bin
MODEL_TYPE=GPT4All
MODEL_PATH=/home/g/projects/privateGPT/models/ggml-gpt4all-j-v1.3-groovy.bin
MODEL_N_CTX=1000

You are using an old version of this repo, update to the latest version, re install the requirements and recreate your .env. It should look like this:

PERSIST_DIRECTORY=db
MODEL_TYPE=GPT4All
MODEL_PATH=models/ggml-gpt4all-j-v1.3-groovy.bin
EMBEDDINGS_MODEL_NAME=all-MiniLM-L6-v2
MODEL_N_CTX=1000

If you have ingested data a while ago and updated the repository afterward you might have to re-ingest the data, but it got a lot faster so that's less of a problem now.

I have deleted the db/ and using the new .env file configuration the ingest is working again.

Thank you!

For those coming to issue, this is what worked for me (python noob here 😅)

1. cp example.env .env
2. rm -rf db
3. python3 ingest.py

Hope this helps 🙌🏻

I can't seem to find the example.env in the first place... nor can I find ingest.py
