AttributeError: 'VectorStores' object has no attribute 'create_and_poll'

API

Hey guys!

So, seems like I’m a little bit confused by OpenAI documentation and openai package for Python differences, currently I’m in the process of migrating to the latest version of this package which seems to be a ‘1.24.0’, I’m following documentation guidance of how to create vector store to add the files into assistant and they are using the method ‘create_and_poll’ like this ‘client.beta.vector_stores.create_and_poll’, however, I’m receiving an error: AttributeError: ‘VectorStores’ object has no attribute ‘create_and_poll’

I’ve looked inside Python’s SDK and it turned out that VectoreStore doesn’t have the ‘create_and_poll’ method, so maybe some experienced users of the API could explain why this difference between documentation and real SDK exists.

Maybe I could use another library in order to get this function, as I would be very happy to use ‘create_and_poll’ instead of polling by myself…)

Maybe this helps:
https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/tools/file-search/vector-stores

vector_store = client.beta.vector_stores.create_and_poll(
name=“Product Documentation”,
file_ids=[‘file_1’, ‘file_2’, ‘file_3’, ‘file_4’, ‘file_5’]
)

assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
  instructions="You are a helpful product support assistant and you answer questions based on the files provided to you.",
  model="gpt-4-turbo",
  tools=[{"type": "file_search"}],
  tool_resources={
    "file_search": {
      "vector_store_ids": ["vs_1"]
    }
  }
)

thread = client.beta.threads.create(
  messages=[ { "role": "user", "content": "How do I cancel my subscription?"} ],
  tool_resources={
    "file_search": {
      "vector_store_ids": ["vs_2"]
    }
  }
)

Yep. And documentation remains wrong. The following snippet is still shown in the https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/tools/file-search/vector-stores
