Missing 'valueGeoCoordinates' for 'withinGeoRange' operator.

Error message

Missing 'valueGeoCoordinates' for 'withinGeoRange' operator.

What it means

buildFilter maps the node's filter configuration onto the Weaviate client API. For operator 'withinGeoRange' the required valueGeoCoordinates object was not supplied, so the geo filter clause cannot be constructed and an OperationalError names the missing field.

Solutions

1. Provide valueGeoCoordinates: { operator: 'withinGeoRange', path: ['location'], valueGeoCoordinates: { latitude: 52.5, longitude: 13.4 } } plus any radius the property helper expects.
2. Validate the geo object has the required latitude/longitude fields before building the filter.
3. Remove the filter if no geo value is available.

Example fix

// before: { operator: 'withinGeoRange', path: ['location'] }
// after:  { operator: 'withinGeoRange', path: ['location'], valueGeoCoordinates: { latitude: 52.5, longitude: 13.4 } }

function isValidGeo(g: unknown): boolean { return !!g && ['latitude','longitude'].every(k => typeof (g as any)[k] === 'number'); } if (f.operator.toLowerCase() === 'withingeorange' && !isValidGeo(f.valueGeoCoordinates)) { throw new Error('withinGeoRange requires latitude/longitude'); }

function isGeoCoordinates(g: unknown): g is { latitude: number; longitude: number } { return !!g && typeof (g as any).latitude === 'number' && typeof (g as any).longitude === 'number'; }

try { buildFilter(unit) } catch (e) { if (/valueGeoCoordinates.*withinGeoRange/.test(e.message)) { /* reprompt for geo */ } else throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: Filter unit { operator: 'withingeorange', path: [...], /* valueGeoCoordinates missing */ } reaches buildFilter.

Common situations: Geo coordinate object left empty; expression mapped to undefined; JSON filter omitted valueGeoCoordinates; caller passed a malformed/partial geo object that is falsy.
