[BUG] Vertex AI Embeddings Use Bad API Url
Introduction
In this article, we will discuss a bug in the Vertex AI embeddings feature of the crewAI platform. The bug causes a 401 Unauthorized error when trying to use Vertex AI embeddings due to a typo in the API URL. We will go through the steps to reproduce the bug, the expected behavior, and possible solutions.
Description
The Vertex AI embeddings feature is used to create a memory component in the crewAI platform. However, when trying to use this feature, a 401 Unauthorized error is encountered. The error is caused by a typo in the API URL, where 'goole' is used instead of 'google'. This error is not immediately apparent and requires careful examination of the logs to identify.
Steps to Reproduce
To reproduce this bug, follow these steps:
Step 1: Create an Agent
Create a new agent using the crewAI platform.
Step 2: Create a Crew
Create a new crew using the following code:
crew = Crew(
agents=...,
tasks=...,
process=Process.sequential,
memory=True,
embedder={
"provider": "vertexai",
"config": {
"model": 'textembedding-gecko',
"project_id": "PROJECT-ID",
"region": "us-central1"
}
},
)
Expected Behavior
The expected behavior is that the crewAI platform should make a correct call to the Google API using the Vertex AI embeddings feature. However, due to the typo in the API URL, a 401 Unauthorized error is encountered.
Screenshots/Code Snippets
No screenshots or code snippets are available for this bug.
Operating System
The operating system used is Other (specify in additional context).
Python Version
The Python version used is 3.12.
crewAI Version
The crewAI version used is 0.114.0.
crewAI Tools Version
The crewAI tools version is not known, as it does not have a version file.
Virtual Environment
The virtual environment used is Venv.
Evidence
The evidence for this bug is the 401 Unauthorized error encountered in the logs, which is caused by the typo in the API URL.
Possible Solution
One possible solution to this bug is to correct the typo in the API URL. This can be done by changing 'goole' to 'google' in the API URL.
Correcting the API URL
To correct the API URL, follow these steps:
- Identify the location of the typo in the API URL.
- Change 'goole' to 'google' in the API URL.
Example Code
Here is an example of the corrected code:
crew = Crew(
agents=...,
tasks=...,
process=Process.sequential,
memory=True,
embedder={
"provider": "vertexai",
"config": {
"model": 'textembedding-gecko',
"project_id": "PROJECT-ID",
"region": "us-central1"
}
},
)
In this corrected code, the typo in the API URL has been corrected by changing 'goole' to 'google'.
