[Bug]: 'GroupChatManager' object has no attribute '_groupchat'

[MehrCurry]

Describe the bug

I created a group chat workflow and on the first input i get an error:

  File "/Users/gzo/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/lib/python3.11/site-packages/autogenstudio/web/app.py", line 70, in add_message
    response_message: Message = chatmanager.chat(
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/Users/gzo/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/lib/python3.11/site-packages/autogenstudio/chatmanager.py", line 22, in chat
    flow = AutoGenWorkFlowManager(config=flow_config, history=history, work_dir=scratch_dir)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/Users/gzo/.pyenv/versions/3.11.6/lib/python3.11/site-packages/autogenstudio/workflowmanager.py", line 41, in __init__
    self.receiver._groupchat.agents = self.receiver._groupchat.agents + \
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'GroupChatManager' object has no attribute '_groupchat'

Steps to reproduce

1. create an group chat workflow with two primary agents (default)
2. Run the workflow with a simple question: "What is a smart meter?"

Expected Behavior

The agents should try to get the answer.

Screenshots and logs

No response

Additional Information

Autogen: autogenstudio-0.0.44a0
OS: MacOS
Python Version: 3.11.6

This happens with all group chat workflows. I also tried the travel agent workflow.

Hi @MehrCurry,

This may be related to a regression in v0.0.43a
Can you update your autogenstudio to the latest version and let me know if you are still having these issues.

pip install -U autogenstudio 

[MehrCurry]

Looks good. I tried deinstalling and reinstalling before but that does not solved the problem. Your solution did the trick.
Thank you.

[MehrCurry]

That was too early. With my new installation and started with a fresh appdir, the Gerneral Agent Workflow works. But the Travel Agent Workflow again comes with that message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Seems my environment has an influence. I create a Dockerfile and when starting Studio from within docker every thing runs fine.

FROM python:3.11

COPY requirements.txt /app/

WORKDIR /app

RUN pip install --upgrade pip && pip install -r requirements.txt

# Set the path
ENV PATH="/home/app/.local/bin:${PATH}"

VOLUME [ "/data" ]

EXPOSE 8081

CMD ["autogenstudio", "ui", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8081", "--appdir", "/data"]

docker build -t ags .
docker run -it --rm -p 8081:8081 --env-file .env ags

[victordibia]

In your requirements.txt can you add a version
eg

autogenstudio>=0.0.44a

The reason is because sometimes docker will use previous caches images or versions or libraries of the docker file is unchanged.

I am on Linux and ran:
pip install -U autogenstudio

and I am seeing the same issue. I am running 0.0.44a and I am still seeing this error message for the group chat managers.

[jamiluamsft]

I had the same issue with 0.0.44a and was able to resolve the issue by going back to 0.0.42a. (I have not had a chance to debug 0.0.44a to find out what the breaking change might have been yet though).

[LordProfit]

Same issue

[junaidtitan]

Was anyone able to get past this? I've hit a brick wall.

[HENECIASS501]

same issue，i tried to solve this by going back to 0.0.42a,but it didn't work.

[junaidtitan]

I’ve tried versions from .042 onwards, changed environment as well - fresh install - nothing works and can’t debug it either Regards, *Junaid Ali Qureshi*

Hi,
Can you share your autogenstudio version ? Ie pip show autogenstudio.

Also, please upgrade to the latest version and confirm you still see this error.

pip install -U autogenstudio
