Assistants create threads, and an error occurs when uploading files

API Bugs

Here is part of my code:

  const threadId = (await openai.beta.threads.create({})).id

  const createdMessage = await openai.beta.threads.messages.create(threadId, {
    role: 'user',
    content: input.message,
    attachments:
     [
            {
              file_id: input.data.fileId,
              tools: ['file_search']
            }
          ]
      
  })

, and this is the error message:

 ⨯ node_modules/.pnpm/openai@4.38.1_encoding@0.1.13/node_modules/openai/error.mjs (41:0) @ APIError.generate
 ⨯ 400 Invalid type for 'attachments[0].tools[0]': expected an object, but got a string instead.

Welcome to the dev forum @faye_1225

It’s the error with the ["file_search"] part.

Here’s how to properly pass tools in attachments:

"attachments": [
        { "file_id": message_file.id, "tools": [{"type": "file_search"}] }
      ],

Thank you very much for your reply.

However, I have already upgraded to the latest version.openai@4.38.1.

Here is the documentation on threads: Doc
If I write it like this

"attachments": [
        { "file_id": message_file.id, "tools": [{"type": "file_search"}] }
      ],

, there will still be a type error.

TS2322: Type '{ file_id: any; tools: { type: string; }[]; }[] | undefined' is not assignable to type 'Attachment[] | null | undefined'.   Type '{ file_id: any; tools: { type: string; }[]; }[]' is not assignable to type 'Attachment[]'.     Type '{ file_id: any; tools: { type: string; }[]; }' is not assignable to type 'Attachment'.       Types of property 'tools' are incompatible.         Type '{ type: string; }[]' is not assignable to type '("file_search" | "code_interpreter")[]'.           Type '{ type: string; }' is not assignable to type '"file_search" | "code_interpreter"'.

You need to be using tools: [{type: 'file_search'}] (without the quotes around tools and type) since you’re in Node and not python.

Hi @nikunj , I am actually facing the same problem… and I agree with @faye_1225

so, either there is a bug on the server side or in the sdk + documentation

quick update: we downgraded to openai@4.38.0 and used the tools: [{type: 'file_search'}] approach and that works without problems.
so the issue was introduced in opeanai@4.38.1… looks like the type was updated (i think that type is better!), but the mapping to the request has a problem.

Ah I see what’s up here. We just fixed our types in the SDK. New version just went out. Apologies for this issue.

I’m using the assistants API. It works locally but when I run it on an Azure Web app this error occurs:

Assistants.create() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘file_ids’
