Failed to install singlestore package

Error message

Failed to install singlestore package

What it means

SingleStoreSearchTool offers an interactive bootstrap: if the singlestore package is missing, it prompts via click.confirm and runs `uv add crewai-tools[singlestore]`. This ImportError is raised when that subprocess exits non-zero (CalledProcessError), meaning the attempted install itself failed. The original subprocess error is chained via `from e`.

Solutions

1. Install the dependency manually in your environment: uv add 'crewai-tools[singlestore]' (or pip install 'crewai-tools[singlestore]').
2. If you don't use uv, use pip: pip install singlestore; then re-instantiate the tool.
3. Check the chained CalledProcessError (raise ... from e) for the real failure — missing uv binary, network error, or permission issue — and fix that root cause.

Example fix

# before (prompt auto-answered yes, uv add fails)
from crewai_tools import SingleStoreSearchTool
tool = SingleStoreSearchTool()

# after (pre-install, no prompt path)
# pip install 'crewai-tools[singlestore]'
from crewai_tools import SingleStoreSearchTool
tool = SingleStoreSearchTool()

import importlib.util
if importlib.util.find_spec("singlestore") is None:
    raise RuntimeError("Run: pip install 'crewai-tools[singlestore]' before starting the app")

try:
    tool = SingleStoreSearchTool(...)
except ImportError as e:
    # covers both install-failure and decline branches
    raise RuntimeError(f"singlestore dependency unavailable: {e}") from e

When it happens

Trigger: Importing/instantiating SingleStoreSearchTool without singlestore installed, answering 'y' to the install prompt, while `uv` is missing from PATH, the project is not a uv workspace, the network is down, or the extra name is unavailable in the installed crewai-tools version.

Common situations: Running in an environment without uv installed (plain pip/conda users); running with a read-only project directory; CI runners where the interactive prompt is auto-confirmed but the package manager can't write; version mismatches where the [singlestore] extra does not exist.
