Select collection when using CLI generate

[bolaft]

I must be missing something, instructions in the CLI README show how to use a "UserData" db but I can't find how to create different dbs and select the one I want to use with generate.py. If I set --collection_name=abc a db_dir_abc with make_db.py folder gets created, but how do I select that db with generate.py? Neither changing the langchain_mode or langchain_modes parameters seem to work, I just get the "Did not generate db for UserData since no sources" message and a chat with a regular LLM with no document context. I must do something wrong, but what?

Edit: actually even with "UserData" as collection name the two-step example in the README doesn't work, the only way I can interact with my documents in CLI mode is by using the --user_path parameter directly in generate.py.

To clarify, this works:

python generate.py --base_model=gptj --cli=True --langchain_mode=UserData --user_path=user_path --answer_with_sources=False

> Enter an instruction: what language shall be used?
> Based on the information provided in the document context, the primary language for the contract and related documents should be Arabic. (...) => correct

But this doesn't:

python src/make_db.py --user_path=user_path --collection_name=UserData
python generate.py --base_model=gptj --cli=True --langchain_mode=UserData --answer_with_sources=False

> Enter an instruction: what language shall be used?
> Did not generate db for UserData since no sources
> English is the language that will be used for our interaction. The document context provided, as well as any questions asked, will also be in English. => incorrect

Recreating a fresh conda environment solved the issue.

Not sure why new conda env would help. But the CLI control is a bit complex/confusing, so I give various examples.
