Changelog Entry

Description

After editing uploaded file in knowledge, althrogh toast saying it save successfully, it actually throwing an error. And when trying to rag that edited file, it always say "not found source".

Fixed

Make saving file not throw error, and the file can be rag after this fix.


Additional Information

In open_webui/routers/retrieval.py", line 1542, in save_docs_to_vector_db: asyncio.run... , which can only called by sync function
However open_webui.routers.files:update_file_data_content_by_id: is a async function, and causing the error.
There is no async function inside update_file_data_content_by_id, simply make this function sync fix the problem
