openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix image_generate: No image-generation provider registered for google after 2026.3.23-2 update [2 comments, 2 participants]

Fix Plan

To resolve the No image-generation provider registered for google issue, we need to ensure the Google image generation provider is properly registered. Given the suspicion of a stale plugin registry, we'll focus on refreshing the plugin registry and ensuring the google-generative-ai API is correctly configured.

Steps to Fix:

1. Verify Plugin Configuration: Confirm that models.providers.google is correctly set up with api: "google-generative-ai", a valid baseUrl, apiKey, and the models array containing the image preview model IDs.
2. Refresh Plugin Registry: Manually reload the plugins to ensure the registry is updated. This can be done by running:

   openclaw plugins reload

3. Check for Updates: Ensure all dependencies and plugins are up to date, as updates might have been made to address similar issues:

   openclaw update

4. Explicitly Register Provider: If the issue persists, try explicitly registering the Google image generation provider in your configuration or startup script. This might involve adding a custom initialization script that calls api.registerImageGenerationProvider(buildGoogleImageGenerationProvider()) after the plugins have been loaded.

Example Code Snippet for Explicit Registration:

// Ensure this runs after plugins have been loaded
// This is a hypothetical example; actual implementation may vary based on the framework
api.on('pluginsLoaded', () => {
  const googleImageGenerationProvider = buildGoogleImageGenerationProvider();
  api.registerImageGenerationProvider(googleImageGenerationProvider);
});

Verification

After applying these steps, restart the gateway and attempt to use the image_generate tool again. If the issue is resolved, the tool should successfully generate an image using the Google provider.

Extra Tips

• Regularly check the changelog for updates that might affect plugin compatibility or configuration.
• Consider implementing a periodic task to reload plugins to prevent similar issues due to stale registries.
• If problems persist, verify that the google-generative-ai API and the specified models are accessible and correctly configured.
