I am trying to use the PDFSearchTool (from crewai_tools import PDFSearchTool) with my ADK agent using the CrewaiTool wrapper provided by google-adk. When I try to install the latest versions of google-adk (1.23.0) and crewai[tools] (1.9.3) I see some dependency conflicts for open telemetry-api and other related libraries. Looks like crewai-tools needs 1.34.0 version of this library while google-adk needs a higher one like 1.38.0. Due to this, my pip install fails. If I try to install crewai[tools] first and then google-adk, pip install works, but I get errors when I try to run my ADK agent that uses this crewai tool. Can you please help?

Error Message

PR fix notes

PR #4475: Fix #4474: Widen OpenTelemetry version constraints to resolve dependency conflicts

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Fix #4474: Widen OpenTelemetry version constraints to >=1.34.0,<2

Summary

The opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-sdk, and opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http dependencies were pinned to ~=1.34.0 (i.e. >=1.34.0, <1.35.0). This prevented coinstallation with libraries like google-adk which require opentelemetry-api>=1.36.0.

This PR widens the constraints to >=1.34.0,<2, matching the pattern used by other crewAI dependencies (e.g. openai>=1.83.0,<3). The OpenTelemetry APIs used by crewAI (trace, baggage, context, SDK resources, TracerProvider, BatchSpanProcessor, OTLPSpanExporter) are stable public APIs within the 1.x line.

A new test file test_opentelemetry_compatibility.py is added with 6 tests covering import functionality, version floor checks, and Telemetry singleton initialization.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Verify the upper bound <2 is acceptable — the previous pin ~=1.34.0 was very conservative. Consider whether a tighter bound like <1.40 would be more appropriate to reduce risk of future breakage from an unknown OTel 1.x release.
  • Note that the tests don't validate forward compatibility — the added tests verify the currently-resolved OTel version works, but don't actually install or test with 1.36+/1.38+ versions. The resolver may still pick 1.34.x. To truly validate, manually test with pip install opentelemetry-api==1.38.0 opentelemetry-sdk==1.38.0 opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http==1.38.0 and run the telemetry test suite.
  • Confirm uv.lock diff is clean — only the three specifier lines should change in uv.lock; no unintended version bumps of resolved packages.

PR #4482: fix: relax OpenTelemetry version constraints for google-adk compatibility

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Fixes issue #4474

Changes

  • Changed OpenTelemetry version constraints from ~=1.34.0 (patch only) to >=1.20.0,<2
  • Allows users to install crewai with google-adk without dependency conflicts

Why

The restrictive ~=1.34.0 constraint only allows patch versions (1.34.0 to 1.34.x), which conflicts with google-adk dependencies. The new constraint allows any 1.x version, giving users flexibility while staying compatible.

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->

[!NOTE] Low Risk Dependency range change only; main risk is unforeseen incompatibilities when installed with older OpenTelemetry 1.x versions.

Overview Relaxes the OpenTelemetry dependency pins in lib/crewai/pyproject.toml from ~=1.34.0 to >=1.20.0,<2 for opentelemetry-api, opentelemetry-sdk, and opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http to avoid dependency conflicts (e.g., with google-adk).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. pip install google-adk
  2. pip install 'crewai[tools]' Error during step 2: ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
    google-adk 1.25.0 requires opentelemetry-api<1.40.0,>=1.36.0, but you have opentelemetry-api 1.34.1 which is incompatible.
    google-adk 1.25.0 requires opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http>=1.36.0, but you have opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http 1.34.1 which is incompatible.

extent analysis

Fix Plan

To resolve the dependency conflicts, we need to upgrade the conflicting dependencies to versions compatible with both google-adk and crewai[tools].

  1. Upgrade OpenTelemetry dependencies:

    • opentelemetry-api to version 1.36.0 or higher.
    • opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http to version 1.36.0 or higher.
    • opentelemetry-sdk to version 1.36.0 or higher.

  2. Upgrade protobuf dependency:

    • protobuf to version 6.31.1 or higher but less than 7.0.0.

  3. Install google-adk and crewai[tools]:

    pip install --upgrade opentelemetry-api opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-http opentelemetry-sdk protobuf
pip install google-adk
pip install crewai[tools]

  4. Verify the installation:

    • Check the versions of the installed packages using pip show <package_name>.
    • Try running your ADK agent to ensure it works as expected.

Example Code Snippet

No code changes are required in your ADK agent. The issue is purely related to dependency conflicts, which are resolved through the package upgrades.

Verification

After applying the fix, verify that:

  • Both google-adk and crewai[tools] are installed successfully.
  • Your ADK agent runs without errors related to missing modules or dependency conflicts.
  • The PDFSearchTool works as expected within your agent.

Extra Tips

  • Regularly update your dependencies to ensure you have the latest security patches and features.
  • Consider using a requirements.txt file to manage your project's dependencies and ensure reproducibility across environments.
  • If you encounter further issues, consider creating a clean virtual environment to isolate the problem.
