Method not implemented.
Error message
Method not implemented.
What it means
JinaAdapter.chatCompletionNonStream is a stub that always throws 'Method not implemented.' The Jina adapter only implements embeddings and reranking; its chat completion surface exists to satisfy the BaseAdapter interface but has no implementation.

Solutions
- Switch the model's provider to an adapter that implements chat completions (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and keep Jina only for embed/rerank
- Remove chat models backed by the jina provider from your model config
- Contribute or request a chat implementation for the Jina adapter
Defensive patterns
Strategy: type-guard
Validate before calling
const supportsChat = (a: any) => typeof a.chatCompletionNonStream === 'function' && !/not implemented/.test(String(a.chatCompletionNonStream));
Type guard
const isChatCapable = (a: BaseAdapter): boolean => adapterProvider(a) !== 'jina';
Try / catch
try { await api.chatCompletionNonStream(body); } catch (e) { if (e instanceof Error && e.message === 'Method not implemented.') throw new UnsupportedProviderError('jina chat'); throw e; } Prevention
- Maintain a provider→capability matrix and validate routes at startup
- Never bind chat models to the jina provider
When it happens
Trigger: Calling chatCompletionNonStream() on a Jina adapter instance, e.g. routing a chat model request through the 'jina' provider.
Common situations: Using Jina (an embeddings/rerank service) as a chat model provider in a multi-provider router or config-driven model registry; the adapter instantiates fine but the first chat call fails.
