Error creating vector store from exception when executing agent (.../step10_assistant_tool_file_search.py)

[selfishark]

Please what should be the resource to make the python/samples/getting_started_with_agents/step10_assistant_tool_file_search.py run?

• venv: Python 3.10; semantic-kernel==1.9.0; openai==1.43.0
• LLM: Azure OpenAI

I get the following error:

• semantic_kernel.exceptions.agent_exceptions.AgentExecutionException: Error creating vector store
• Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Best,

Hi @selfishark, this looks to be related to an incompatible Azure OpenAI model deployment / Azure OpenAI API version. In the first stack trace, a 404 is present. In the second stack trace, it says unable to create the vector store.

I've just tested running it, and I am using a gpt-4o-mini deployment (model version 2024-07-18) with an AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION = "2024-08-01-preview". Can you try adjusting your model and settings, please?

Per Azure's documentation, it looks like even a 2024-05-01-preview API VERSION would work... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/assistants-reference?tabs=python

Hi @selfishark, glad to hear you're making some progress! For #2, are you trying to have the model read python code from a .py file that was uploaded to the vector store? Try including the code file for the code interpreter to use.

Yes, please do follow up via email with detailed (scrubbed) logs if you continue to hit issues.

One other note -- you shouldn't need to install a specific OpenAI 1.47.0 dependency. Semantic Kernel has this package dependency and will install it for you. The code may experience issues (potentially what you've been hitting?) if you have different package versions installed / env related issues.

@moonbox3 thank you I'll carry on and keep you informed.

Would you please clarify this bit?

• "Try including the code file for the code interpreter to use."

@selfishark there are two ways to have the OpenAI Assistant handle files -- via the vector store (like you've been working with recently) or via the code interpreter (as shown in this example: https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/blob/ae29d8735ad2c756135fa2a9de4baa70b250c760/python/samples/concepts/agents/assistant_agent_file_manipulation.py#L62C9-L63C52.py#L63). By passing in a file to the code interpreter it is able to use it during its analysis.

@moonbox3 I sent you an email. - Thank you again for your support! I am really greatfull for your time and consideration.
