chat({ stream: false }) used to return partial text after a provider RUN_ERROR. It now rejects with the same error as the streaming path.

🎯 Changes

  • streamToText throws when the event stream emits RUN_ERROR.
  • StreamProcessor and streamToText share runErrorEventToError, so the consumer Error keeps code and rawEvent.
  • A unit test and a mocked OpenAI E2E route cover the rejection.
  • Rebased onto main after fix: recover text from completed Responses events #937. The only conflict was generated testing/e2e/src/routeTree.gen.ts. Both E2E routes stay.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested this code locally with pnpm run test:pr.
  • Docs: I updated docs/ for this change, or this change is not user-facing.
  • Changeset: I added a changeset (pnpm changeset), or this PR does not change a published package.

This is user-facing behavior, but there is no existing docs page for the non-streaming error path. The changeset is the user-visible note. I did not add a new docs page in this conflict rebase.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Testing

Commands run

  1. pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai exec vitest run tests/stream-to-response.test.ts — 30 passed
  2. pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai test:types — passed after a workspace build
  3. pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai test:oxlint — 0 errors
  4. Skipped pnpm test:pr and the E2E spec in this pass (conflict was generated route tree only)

Manual test

  1. Call chat({ stream: false }) against a provider that returns HTTP 429.
  2. Confirm the promise rejects. Old behavior: empty or partial string.
  3. Confirm error.message and error.code match the provider.

How this PR makes testing easy

  • packages/ai/tests/stream-to-response.test.ts rejects on RUN_ERROR
  • testing/e2e/tests/non-streaming-run-error.spec.ts hits a mocked 429

Risk / rollback

Low. Revert the PR. Streaming onError behavior does not change.

Public API change

Before

const text = await chat({ adapter, messages, stream: false })
// text can be "" or partial after a provider RUN_ERROR

After

const text = await chat({ adapter, messages, stream: false })
// throws Error with message, code, and rawEvent from RUN_ERROR

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Non-streaming chat requests now reject when a provider reports a run error instead of returning incomplete text.
    • Error responses preserve the provider’s message, error code, and underlying event details.
    • Added a fallback message when run-error details are unavailable.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for non-streaming provider errors, including rate-limit failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes RUN_ERROR conversion, applies it to stream-to-text processing, and adds unit and end-to-end coverage for non-streaming chat rejection.

Changes

RUN_ERROR propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Centralized error conversion
packages/ai/src/utilities/errors.ts
Adds runErrorEventToError, including message fallback and preservation of error code and raw event data.
Stream error handling and unit coverage
packages/ai/src/activities/chat/stream/processor.ts, packages/ai/src/stream-to-response.ts, packages/ai/tests/stream-to-response.test.ts
Uses the shared converter for stream errors. streamToText now throws on RUN_ERROR. Tests verify rejection after partial text.
Non-streaming E2E validation
testing/e2e/src/routes/api.non-streaming-run-error.ts, testing/e2e/src/routeTree.gen.ts, testing/e2e/tests/non-streaming-run-error.spec.ts, .changeset/calm-lions-throw.md
Adds a synthetic rate-limit route, registers it, tests its rejection payload, and records a patch release.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 22daa

This localized change makes non-streaming requests reject with provider run errors while preserving error details; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

@AlemTuzlak I was limited by the repository rules, which allows only 5 PRs opened at the same time, opening as a draft was a workaround. Flipping to "ready"
[same applies to all other PRs I am copying the message there so the context is kept]
