"Failed to Parse Stream String" Error
Issue
I am using useChat
or useCompletion
, and I am getting a "Failed to parse stream string. Invalid code"
error. I am using version 3.0.20
or newer of the AI SDK.
Background
The AI SDK has switched to the stream data protocol in version 3.0.20
.
useChat
and useCompletion
expect stream parts that support data, tool calls, etc.
What you see is a failure to parse the stream.
This can be caused by using an older version of the AI SDK in the backend, by providing a text stream using a custom provider, or by using a raw LangChain stream result.
Solution
You can switch useChat
and useCompletion
to raw text stream processing with the streamMode
parameter (introduced in v3.0.23
of the AI SDK).
Set it to text
as follows:
const { messages, append } = useChat({ streamMode: 'text',});
