'FileCitation' object has no attribute 'quote'

[esseti]

Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API

• This is an issue with the Python library

Describe the bug

After the last update i've tried to use my code that does what explained also here. https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/how-it-works/managing-threads-and-messages

Now when accessing the .quote i receive the error as above

'FileCitation' object has no attribute 'quote'.

can it be that they changed the api? (i don't find annotations description in the docs)

To Reproduce

1. Create an assistant with files associated
2. ask a question that has filecitation
3. check to get the file_citation.quote

OS

Python version

Hi @esseti,

Thanks for reporting the issue. That's pretty odd, quote is defined on the model and should be None if the server doesn't include it in its response:

class FileCitation(BaseModel):
    file_id: Optional[str] = None
    """The ID of the specific File the citation is from."""

    quote: Optional[str] = None
    """The specific quote in the file."""

You shouldn't get the error you mentioned.

Could you please:

1. Try again with the latest version of the SDK
2. Provide a minimal project we could use to try to reproduce the problem?

I am getting the same error. It seems quote was removed from FileCitation on v1.34.0.
#1481

we just rolled out a fix to remove quote from the openapi spec and will roll out updated sdks shortly.

I see the same error and know that the OpenAI assistant I use sometimes returns None as quote. These None values seem to have appeared for Word documents we loaded into a vector store using a python script that sent these in through the OpenAI API.

Here is the bottom of my traceback:
