Persistent "Initializing vector database..." Error on Windows 11

Question

Persistent "Initializing vector database..." Error on Windows 11

yuchiho2008 opened this issue a month ago · comments

Description:
I am experiencing a recurring issue where the application always displays "Initializing vector database..." upon launch. Despite multiple reinstalls and attempts to clear any residual files, the issue persists. When I attempt to start the application via the icon shortcut, it bypasses the setup menu and directly shows "Initializing vector database...". After a few minutes, a JavaScript error occurs in the main process.

Steps to Reproduce:

Launch the application using the desktop icon shortcut.
Observe the application bypassing the setup menu and displaying "Initializing vector database...".
Wait for a few minutes.
A JavaScript error in the main process is displayed.
Expected Behavior:
The application should successfully initialize the vector database and proceed to the main interface without errors.

Actual Behavior:
The application gets stuck at "Initializing vector database..." and eventually throws a JavaScript error in the main process.

Environment:

OS: Windows 11

Additional Information:

Reinstalling the application did not resolve the issue.
The issue occurs consistently with every launch.

To resolve the persistent 'Initializing vector database...' error on Windows 11, follow these steps:

Check Database Initialization: Ensure the database schema is correctly initialized. Verify the CreateDatabaseSchema function in /electron/main/database/Schema.ts.
Verify LanceDB Table: Confirm the LanceDB table is created correctly. Check the GetOrCreateLanceTable function in /electron/main/database/Lance.ts.
IPC Handlers: Ensure IPC handlers for database operations are correctly set up in /electron/preload/index.ts. Specifically, check handlers like indexFilesInDirectory and getDatabaseFields.
Store Migration: Verify the store migration logic in /electron/main/Store/storeMigrator.ts. Ensure initializeAndMaybeMigrateStore and setupDefaultStoreValues are functioning as expected.
Error Handling: Add error handling to catch and log any JavaScript errors in the main process. This can help identify the root cause of the issue.

I have the same issue

Unfortunately this seems to be a memory issue :(
So not much I can do given that the app is loading embedding models locally and your systems probably can't handle the load - perhaps you could share with me your hardware configs @yuchiho2008 @phnghia99 ?

Ok in that case, it seems like you both have quite powerful machines @yuchiho2008 @phnghia99 😅

Could you try running Reor from source? Instructions are as follows:

Make sure you have nodejs installed. Run:

git clone https://github.com/reorproject/reor
cd reor
npm install
npm run dev

Then in the terminal, you should be able to see more granular detail about the errors that occur on startup...
