📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to address installation and compatibility issues with Python libraries, specifically focusing on sentence-transformers, huggingface_hub, and ChromaDB, and to improve error handling in metadata processing.

Key Activities

• Installation Instructions: Provided step-by-step guidance to install sentence-transformers using pip, with options for virtual environments.
• Version Incompatibility Fixes: Resolved issues between sentence-transformers and huggingface_hub, addressing the removal of the cached_download function.
• Library Management: Addressed incompatibility issues among sentence-transformers, transformers, and huggingface_hub by pinning compatible versions and creating a minimal requirements file.
• Metadata Handling in ChromaDB: Improved error handling by filtering out None values and logging warnings for unsupported types.
• Embedding Process Update: Successfully embedded documents and fixed issues with malformed metadata, enhancing robustness and automation options.
• DecryptConnectionError in PromptFlow: Diagnosed and proposed solutions for connection errors in PromptFlow, including recreating connections and resetting encryption keys.

Achievements

• Successfully installed and managed dependencies for sentence-transformers and related libraries.
• Enhanced error handling in ChromaDB, ensuring stable embedding processes.
• Diagnosed and provided solutions for PromptFlow connection errors.

Pending Tasks

• Further automate the embedding process based on observations from log handling.
• Implement the proposed solutions for PromptFlow connection errors in a production environment.
