请配置ZHIPUAI_API_KEY

Error message

请配置ZHIPUAI_API_KEY

What it means

Configuration guard of the Zhipu GLM bridge: predict_no_ui_longconnection raises RuntimeError('请配置ZHIPUAI_API_KEY') when validate_key() reports the ZHIPUAI_API_KEY config empty. Note it fires after normalizing llm_kwargs['llm_model'] to the default zhipuai model, before any API call.

Solutions

  1. Set ZHIPUAI_API_KEY in config_private.py (or docker-compose env), restart the service
  2. Verify: from toolbox import get_conf; assert get_conf('ZHIPUAI_API_KEY')
  3. Ensure the key comes from open.bigmodel.cn and is active (no quota/binding issues)

Example fix

# before
ZHIPUAI_API_KEY = ''

# after (config_private.py)
ZHIPUAI_API_KEY = 'your-zhipuai-key'
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

from toolbox import get_conf
assert get_conf('ZHIPUAI_API_KEY'), 'ZHIPUAI_API_KEY not configured'

Try / catch

try:
    predict_no_ui_long_connection(...)
except RuntimeError as e:
    if 'ZHIPUAI_API_KEY' in str(e):
        raise ConfigurationError(str(e)) from e
    raise

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Calling request_llms/bridge_zhipu.py:33 predict_no_ui_long_connection() with ZHIPUAI_API_KEY == '' from get_conf (config.py / config_private.py / env).

Common situations: Fresh install with placeholder config; user switched the model dropdown to zhipuai without a key; key set only in the shell that launched a different process (systemd/docker missing the env var).
