Error: No handler found for delegate type: TEXT_EMBEDDING with OpenAI

[Kirstygoodary]

Having issues in the chat, when writing the message getting this error:

file:///Users/../.nvm/versions/node/v23.3.0/lib/node_modules/@elizaos/cli/dist/chunk-GFPVHNVN.js:46822
      throw new Error(`No handler found for delegate type: ${modelKey}`);
            ^

Error: No handler found for delegate type: TEXT_EMBEDDING

I've added the open api key to .env.

On line 45459 in chunk-GFPVHNVN.js - TEXT_EMBEDDING: "TEXT_EMBEDDING", is being used as the modelKey it seems.
is this right for modelType?

Also tried rm -rf ~/.eliza and restarted.

Node.js v23.3.0

still happening.

Also running into this issue

[derekmeegan]

I was actually able to fix this by:

Running this command align npm permissions sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm

Running this command to clear cache npm cache clean --force

Running this command to redownload OpenAI Plugin npm install @elizaos/plugin-openai

And restarting my eliza server

[jamiel]

The above worked for me on some projects, but I still had the error on others and it turned out I had an older version of the openai plugin in package.json.

So after updating eliza I was getting this error until bumping to the latest version of the openai plugin too.

So in the project npm install @elizaos/plugin-openai@1.0.0-beta.51 or whatever the latest version is at your time of reading this and it cleared it for me.

This has been resolved now that we are out of beta, thanks for the comments guys
