Error Messages/Logs

Error: 400 invalid_request_error: messages: text content blocks must be non-empty

TL;DR

Modify the request to include a non-empty text content block or handle the 400 error response to break the cycle.

Guidance

• Verify that the error occurs consistently when sending an image with no text using the remote control.
• Check the API documentation for the Anthropic API to see if there are any specific requirements for text content blocks when sending images.
• Consider adding a default or empty text message when sending an image to satisfy the non-empty text content block requirement.
• Handle the 400 error response in the client code to prevent continuous retries and break the cycle.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not include specific code snippets or APIs.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Anthropic API and its requirements for text content blocks. The solution may need to be adjusted based on the specific API documentation and requirements.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adding a default or empty text message when sending an image to satisfy the non-empty text content block requirement, as upgrading to a fixed version is not implied in the issue.
