Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

When the provider returns an error, I can click on regenerate button

Actual Behavior

When the provider returns an error, I cannot click on regenerate button

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Get an error from a provider
  2. Cannot see the regenerate button

This appears to be an issue with your LLM service provider and seems unrelated to Open-WebUI. Please check the response from your service provider.

Just to clarify — the provider error itself isn't my main concern. It happens only 1–2 times per day and when I manage to regenerate the request the model returns a valid response. The problem is that the UI does not show the “Regenerate” button (or other retry controls) when the provider error occurs, so I can’t trigger the regeneration from the UI.

Repro steps:

Running Open WebUI v0.6.33 (Docker on Ubuntu) in Chrome.
Send a request that hits the provider error (the error occurs intermittently).
The provider returns an error, and the UI shows an error message, but the “Regenerate” button/controls are not rendered or are not clickable.
If I manually re-run the request (or retry via other means), the response is returned correctly.
Expected: when a provider error occurs there should still be visible/usable retry controls (e.g. “Regenerate”) so the user can try again.

This is indeed an issue. I think it's best to let the repository owner decide.
