RuntimeError: Runtime hasn't been created!

[yorek]

I'm trying to set up a development environment locally, following the Build on your own step, so I have cloned the repo and then I

1. Create a Python 3.11 (also tried with 3.12) virtual environment: python3.11 -m venv .venv
2. Activate the virtual environment . ./.venv/bin/activate
3. run pip install -e '.[test]'
4. run python -m vectordb_bench

And as soon as I try to run the test using, say, Milvus, I get the following error:

RuntimeError: Runtime hasn't been created!

Here's the details:

RuntimeError: Runtime hasn't been created!

Is anyone having the same problem? The problem started to appear as soon as I updated streamlit to the latest version, apparently.

[yorek]

Ok course as I was writing I realized about the update I did to the latest version of streamlit, and that is actually the problem. Pinning the version to 1.31.1 solve the issue. I have create a PR for a temporary fix

[zahidirfan]

@yorek : I still get the same error even after downgrading streamlit to 1.31.1

[yorek]

Make sure to remove the pip cache, delete any existing virtual environment (or use a new one), and make sure you do not update streamlit when it asks you to do so.
