Bug Report

Installation Method

Docker compose

Environment

Open WebUI Version: 0.3.16

Browser (if applicable): Brave

Confirmation:

[ x ] I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.

[ x ] I have included the browser console logs.
[ x ] I have included the Docker container logs.
[ x ] I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

The expected behavior is that if the context is empty an error should happen.

Actual Behavior:

No error happens and thr LLM just hallucinates answer.

Description

Bug Summary:

It seems my RAG setup is broken. No matter what type of document I send, which browser I use etc looking at the traffic via langfuse shows me that the [context] is replaced by an empty string. The purpose of this issue is to add an exception when the context.strip() is empty.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:
Irrelevant.
