Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.8.10

Ollama Version (if applicable)

v0.18.0

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS

Browser (if applicable)

Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu v148.0.2 (64-bit) / Google Chrome v146.0.7680.80 (Official Build) (64-bit)

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

Visiting the URL of a publicly shared chat should correctly render the entire chat transcript without throwing runtime Svelte errors or leaving the rendering in an incomplete, "grayed-out" or frozen state.

Actual Behavior

Accessing any shared chat URL completely fails to render correctly, leaving the page grayed out. The browser console throws the following Svelte runtime error: Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "id", Z() is null. This error implies that the frontend component is trying to access a property (id) of a variable that evaluates to null.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start an Open WebUI instance utilizing the v0.8.10 version on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS using Firefox v148.0.2.
  2. Ensure you have the Community Sharing feature enabled and the ability to access Shared Chats.
  3. Share a chat to generate a public link (or use an existing pre-shared chat link).
  4. Navigate to that shared chat URL in your browser.
  5. Observe that the chat is grayed out and fails to render effectively.
  6. Open the browser Developer Tools (F12) -> Console.
  7. Observe the Svelte error: Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "id", Z() is null

Additional Information

The underlying bug exists in src/lib/components/chat/Messages/UserMessage.svelte at line 138.

The UserMessage.svelte component accepts export let user; as a prop. In the context of a standard authenticated chat session, the user prop is successfully populated with the session user's object. However, when rendering a public Shared Chat, the viewer might be unauthenticated, or the Messages wrapper component may fail to pass down the user prop appropriately contexts where the original author's information is detached.

Because user is implicitly null or undefined in these Shared Chat views, calling user.id inline crashes the component entirely. Adding an optional chaining fallback (user?.id ?? 'default') or wrapping the ProfileImage display logic in a {#if user} block will instantly resolve this broken view.
