Conflict between OpenAI and AI Content Describer Add-ons on NVDA Beta Version
Environment
- NVDA Version: alpha-31030,421fe4ef
- OpenAI Add-on Version: 24.02.11
- AI Content Describer Add-on Version: 2023.11.20
- Operating System: Windows 11 23H2 (10.0.22631) workstation AMD64
- Python Version: 3.11.6
- Comtypes Version: 1.2.0
- Configobj Version: 5.1.0 with validate version 1.0.1
Description
When using the OpenAI add-on in conjunction with the AI Content Describer add-on (version 2023.11.20) on the NVDA beta version, an ImportError is encountered. This issue specifically arises when executing a script bound to the gesture 'NVDA+o', which is associated with an object recognition feature in the OpenAI add-on.
Although this really happens when I want to interact with the graphical interface of the complement, that is, by pressing the Nvda more G, NVDA more E and NVDA more or as I mentioned above
The only solution I have found is to uninstall one of both supplements.It is also worth mentioning that in the stable version of NVDA this does not happen.
Error Message
error executing script: <bound method GlobalPlugin.script_recognizeObject of GlobalPlugin ('globalPlugins.openai')> with gesture 'NVDA+o'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scriptHandler.pyc", line 295, in executeScript
...
File "C:\Users\angel\AppData\Roaming\nvda\addons\AI Content Describer\globalPlugins\AIContentDescriber\PIL\Image.py", line 100, in
from . import _imaging as core
ImportError: cannot import name 'imaging' from 'PIL' (C:\Users\angel\AppData\Roaming\nvda\addons\AI Content Describer\globalPlugins\AIContentDescriber\PIL_init.py)
Steps to Reproduce
- Install the OpenAI add-on and the AI Content Describer add-on (version 2023.11.20) on the NVDA beta version.
- Activate the 'NVDA+o' gesture to initiate the object recognition feature in the OpenAI add-on.
- Observe the ImportError in the NVDA log.
Expected Behavior
The OpenAI add-on's object recognition feature should work seamlessly without causing import errors, even when used in conjunction with other add-ons like AI Content Describer.
Actual Behavior
An ImportError occurs, indicating a conflict or an incorrect dependency resolution between the OpenAI and AI Content Describer add-ons, specifically related to the PIL (Python Imaging Library) module.
Possible Solutions
- Investigate the dependency management within both add-ons to ensure they do not interfere with each other's libraries.
- Consider isolating or encapsulating dependencies to prevent such conflicts.
Additional Information
This issue suggests a broader problem with how add-ons manage and resolve their dependencies, particularly when multiple add-ons rely on the same external libraries.
Thank you for looking into this issue.
