Weaviate client throwing "ResourceWarning: unclosed transport"

Support

I’m getting the following warning when I do “import weaviate” in python, even if afterwards I don’t do anything with weaviate.

Here is a thread of someone experiencing the same issue: asyncio/selector_events.py: ResourceWarning: unclosed transport _SelectorSocketTransport · langchain-ai/langchain · Discussion #18293 · GitHub

I’m using Python 3.9.5, and weaviate-client = “4.10.4”

Did someone encountered the same problem and managed to fix it?

hi!

This will usually come up if you do not close the connection before creating a new one.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi @DudaNogueira,

This problem arises just from doing “import weaviate”, even if I don’t create a client afterwards.

That’s strange :thinking:

Do you happen to see this same behavior if using a newer python version?

Thanks!

Yes, I updated from version 3.9.5 to 3.11.11

Did you find a solution to this problem @Axel_Straminsky ? I still get this issue by simply having “import weaviate” in my code

hi @nishant412 !! Welcome to our community :hugs:

This can surface if there are already open connections and you try to connect again.

does it happen to you on an isolated script, for example?

Thanks!
