Hi everyone, i have this problem with Cognee that i need help:

Currently, i'm using:
"cognee==0.5.1",
"cognee[postgres-binary]==0.5.1",
"cognee-community-vector-adapter-qdrant==0.1.0",
"cognee[neo4j]==0.5.1",

Qdrant Version: v1.16

ENV:
VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER="qdrant"
VECTOR_DB_URL="http://localhost:6333/"
VECTOR_DB_KEY=""

I have this problem when adding my pdf to Cognee:

Failed to ingest documents: QDrantAdapter.init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'database_name'

Error ingesting document: QDrantAdapter.init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'database_name'

I have attached my initialize code, and also my document ingest code.
Is this dependencies error or my code base error?

can you please share the error logs?

[LStromann]

Sure, i have attached it

[LStromann]

Can you also share your Cognee initialization script where the error happens

[LStromann]

Here is the code that i use to init Cognee

[LStromann]

thanks for sharing! this is a dependency version conflict not a codebase error. the community adapter needs to be updated to match the interface expected by cognee 0.5.1 can you try running this pip install "cognee<0.5.0"

[LStromann]

let us know if this works

thanks, i have give it a try. I'm have tried and downgrade to 0.4.1. And here is the new error:

As far as i know, i don't need key or permission to write to my Qdrant DB right?

[LStromann]

yes for local instance you you can use an empty API key

[LStromann]

Yes, so i use env like this:
VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER="qdrant"
VECTOR_DB_URL="http://localhost:6333"
VECTOR_DB_KEY=""

And still have that error

[LStromann]

can you try add this to your .env ENABLE_BACKEND_ACCESS_CONTROL=false for a test

[LStromann]

Ok, let me have a try

[LStromann]

Unfortunately, it still have the same old error 🙁

PermissionDeniedError: PermissionDeniedError: Request owner does not have necessary permission:
[write] for all datasets requested. (Status code: 403)

[LStromann]

FYI, i have tried to switch to LanceDB, and it still have the same permission problem

[LStromann]

Here is the full logs if you want to have a deeper dive into it

[LStromann]

thanks!
