invalid_role_error
Invalid role specified in the input. The "role" field must be one of: "system", "assistant", "user", or "function".
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The error message "function_call" is not one of ["system", "assistant", "user", "function"] - "messages.2.role" indicates that the role parameter in one of the messages in your request is set to an invalid value. Here are the key points causing this issue:
The
roleparameter must be one of the specified valid roles:"system","assistant","user", or"function".In your case, the
roleis set to"function_call", which is not recognized as a valid role.This error often arises when the sequence of messages or the structure of the request does not adhere to the expected format, particularly when dealing with tool calls or other specific message types.
Solution
To fix the 400 status error in the OpenAI API due to an invalid role specified in the input, you need to ensure that the role field in your request is set to one of the accepted values. Here are the steps to correct this:
Verify that each message in your request has a
roleparameter.Update the
roleparameter to one of the valid roles:"system","assistant","user", or"function".
Key corrections:
Replace
"function_call"or any other invalid role with a valid role.Ensure the structure of the request, especially the sequence of messages, adheres to the OpenAI API's expected format.
