I’m trying to upload stored in a vector

const fileStreams = ["knowledge.txt"].map((path) =>
    fs.createReadStream(path)
  );

  // Create a vector store including our files.
  let vectorStore = await openai.beta.vectorStores.create({
    name: "Customer queries Vector Store",
  });

  await openai.beta.vectorStores.fileBatches.uploadAndPoll(
    vectorStore.id,
    fileStreams
  );

I’m getting the next error:

node_modules/openai/resources/beta/vector-stores/file-batches.js:99
if (files === null || files.length == 0) {
^

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘length’)
at FileBatches.uploadAndPoll (node_modules/openai/resources/beta/vector-stores/file-batches.js:99:37)

Node.js v20.13.1
Library v4.46.1

Were you able to resolve this? I am facing a similar problem.

Found the issue.

The uploadAndPoll method destructures the filestreams in the following fashion.

To solve this, pass the filestreams as follows

await openai.beta.vectorStores.fileBatches.uploadAndPoll(vectorStore.id, {
files: fileStreams,
});

Thanks. This seems to have worked. So, it seems like docs at https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/tools/file-search/quickstart is using uploadAndPoll in the wrong way.

This is how it uses it

await openai.beta.vectorStores.fileBatches.uploadAndPoll(vectorStore.id, fileStreams)

Apparently, even the documentation can be wrong :astonished:. Now that I think of it, I have been seeing some typos around. So, I guess they’re only human.
