plugin init failed

[anayjain]

from intel_extension_for_transformers.neural_chat import PipelineConfig
from intel_extension_for_transformers.neural_chat import build_chatbot
from intel_extension_for_transformers.neural_chat import plugins
plugins.retrieval.enable=True
plugins.retrieval.args["input_path"]="./docs/"
config = PipelineConfig(plugins=plugins)
chatbot = build_chatbot(config)

When I run this code every time I add some documents to the docs folder, it fails, giving this error below.

2024-03-13 10:54:19 [ERROR] neuralchat error: Generic error
ERROR:root:build_chatbot: plugin init failed

I'm yet to figure out how to fix this sometimes I restart my notebook session or re-edit my documents ( they are xlsx files).
Please tell me the method so that when I have to build a chatbot it doesn't keep crashing.

Hi, thanks for bringing this up. Let me try to reproduce this and get back to you

I can't seem to reproduce the issue. Can you give some more details into when it crashes?
You build the chatbot initially and it runs fine. You then add documents to the docs folder and try to rebuild the chatbot then it crashes?

Also, what version of itrex are you using? Might be helpful to install from source for latest updates

@anayjain Hi, are you still running into issues or may we close?

@kta-intel Hi sorry I'm revisiting this. yes, I still get this error time and again whenever I add new files to my doc folder ( new CSV file) and then I fail to build the init plugin.
