VIBE_TRADING_DEEPSEEK_ADAPTER=native requires langchain-deep
Error message
VIBE_TRADING_DEEPSEEK_ADAPTER=native requires langchain-deepseek
What it means
The DeepSeek provider was explicitly configured to use its native adapter (VIBE_TRADING_DEEPSEEK_ADAPTER=native), but the native adapter construction returned None, meaning langchain-deepseek is unavailable. Because the user demanded native mode, the library refuses to silently fall back to ChatOpenAI.

Solutions
- Install langchain-deepseek: pip install langchain-deepseek
- Or unset/relax the pin: remove VIBE_TRADING_DEEPSEEK_ADAPTER (or set it to the fallback mode) so the OpenAI-compatible path is used
- Verify: python -c "import langchain_deepseek"
Example fix
# before export VIBE_TRADING_DEEPSEEK_ADAPTER=native # (langchain-deepseek not installed) # after pip install langchain-deepseek export VIBE_TRADING_DEEPSEEK_ADAPTER=native
Defensive patterns
Strategy: validation
Validate before calling
if os.environ.get('VIBE_TRADING_DEEPSEEK_ADAPTER') == 'native':
import langchain_deepseek # raises ImportError early if missing Prevention
- Only set adapter=native when the dependency is pinned in your lockfile
- Document the extra dependency wherever the env var is documented
When it happens
Trigger: Setting VIBE_TRADING_DEEPSEEK_ADAPTER=native with provider=deepseek while langchain-deepseek is not installed or fails to import; native adapter build helper returns None for a non-anthropic provider.
Common situations: Opting into the native DeepSeek adapter for newer model support without adding the dependency; a partial upgrade where the adapter module exists but its dependency is missing.
Understand the failure class
Background: "X is not installed. Please install it with pip install Y": missing optional dependency errors — ImportError/ValueError raised when a library's optional extra was never installed — this error's family across 22 libraries.
