parameter_error
Missing parameter: Messages with the role 'function' require a 'name' field to be specified.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The error "Missing parameter 'name': messages with role 'function' must have a 'name'" in the OpenAI API occurs because the API requires a specific parameter when using a message with the role of 'function'. Here’s a concise explanation:
When you send a message to the OpenAI API with the role set to 'function', the API expects an additional parameter called 'name' to be included. This 'name' parameter is necessary to identify the function being invoked.
The absence of this 'name' parameter results in a "Bad Request" error with a 400 status code, indicating that the request is invalid due to missing required parameters.
Solution
To fix the "Missing parameter 'name': messages with role 'function' must have a 'name'" error in the OpenAI API, you need to ensure that each message with the role 'function' includes the required 'name' parameter.
Here are the key steps to correct this issue:
Include the 'name' parameter in each message object with the role set to 'function'.
Ensure the 'name' parameter is correctly specified and matches the function being called.
By adding this 'name' parameter, you will comply with the API's requirements and avoid the 400 status error.
