bug: GenerateValueAction repeatedly returns null after 2-3 conversation turns #1469
Description
Did you check docs and existing issues?
- I have read all the NeMo-Guardrails docs
- I have updated the package to the latest version before submitting this issue
- (optional) I have used the develop branch
- I have searched the existing issues of NeMo-Guardrails
Python version (python --version)
Python 3.11.9
Operating system/version
Windows 11
NeMo-Guardrails version (if you must use a specific version and not the latest
0.17.0
Describe the bug
The assistant is refusing to respond after 2-3 turns of conversation. Upon thoroughly reviewing the rebug logs, i discovered this
GenerateValueActionFinished | {"action_uid": "81ea...",
"action_name": "GenerateValueAction", "status": "success", "is_success": true,
"return_value": null, "events": [{"type": "BotIntent", "intent": "inform internal
error occurred"}, {"type": "StartUtteranceBotAction", "script": "I'm sorry, an
internal error has occurred."}, {"type": "hide_prev_turn"}]}
GenerateValueAction returns null after 2-3 turns. And i am unsure what is causing this as the questions i asked in turns before it fails, are of the same nature.
Since the contents of my assistant's system instructions are confidential, i can not share the exact content but i'll post the sample structure:
colang_version: "2.x"
models:
- type: main
engine: openai
model: gpt-4.1
- type: embeddings

model: text-embedding-3-small
parameters:

instructions:
- type: general
content: |
my system instructions, this includes instructions for persona, tone, response structure, capabilities, limitations, interaction rules and final closing line
sample_conversation: |
user action: user said "something"
user intent: user request something
bot intent: bot provide something
bot action: bot say "something"

Most active/triggered flow is handle_support. Initially it responds to user queries with no issue. I am always testing with the same set of 7-8 questions. Sometimes, GenerateValueAction only returns null and "some internal error occured" on the 7th turn, sometimes fails as early as 2nd turn.
Am i doing something incorrect in my colang code? I have spent months looking at documents and issues with no solution. This is extremely urgent for me to figure out so any and all help is much appreciated. Thank you!
Steps To Reproduce
this is my file structure:
|_ rails
|_ actions
|_ general.py
|_ colang
|_ disallowed.co
|_ general.co
|_ input_rails.co
|_ main.co
|_ support.co
|_ kb
|_support1.md
|_support2.md
|_support3.md
|_support4.md
|_support5.md
|_support6.md
|_ prompts.yml
|_ config.yml
In actuality, i have more actions, colang files and descriptive kb files. but this is general structure.
I have given some of the core colang/config/action codes above which should be enough for anyone to reproduce the issue i am facing. Let me know if more information is required from my side. my most used flows are handle_unhandled and support, for which i have provided my code above.
Expected Behavior
Conversation should continue with no issues.
