Chat History does not restore Assistant Messages (with custom Data Layer)

[adrianliechti]

Hi Chainlit Community

I started with a very simple file based data layer as PoC inspired by the E2E Test.
The idea was to store structures as they are

My problem is, that when I refresh/restart the browser, the history only shows user messages - but no assistant messages.
Interestingly, if I edit a message; the assistant message will be shown.

I'm thankful for any help! And if of interest, I would trim this PoC to something more productive ready for small installations.

Thanks a ton!

If I set parentId to null on the assistant message, it appears:

def save_step(entry : StepDict):
   # ...    

    entry["parentId"] = None

    if entry.get("type", None) not in get_args(MessageStepType):
        return
    
    #...
