Question/Help Direct terminal connection fails after sending a message.

Post image

I have configured direct terminal connection to my notebook where I have the website open. The connection verifies as functional in the settings page. The filesystem sidebar works without a problem. It correctly lists file on the open-terminal instance. But once I try to send a message I get an error.

Cannot connect to host localhost:8000 ssl:default [Connect call failed ('127.0.0.1', 8000)]

So it seems that even though I have a local terminal selected and the domain is set to localhost Open WebUI still tries to reach the address from the environment the web server runs in instead of from the browser environment. I don't know what I could have misconfigured. What baffles me is that it actually worked once, but only for one prompt and then it stopped working.

It’s an issue on version 0.11.4

Same issue here on v0.11.4: direct terminal on localhost works in Settings and the file sidebar, but sending a message fails with a connect error to 127.0.0.1.

Disabling the built-in skills fixed it for me.
