[BUG] Mem0 (local config) - Memory.search() got an unexpected keyword argument 'metadata'

[Jainish-S]

Description

I am currently using local mem0 with the following config

local_mem0_config = {
        "vector_store": {
            "provider": "qdrant",
            "config": {
                "collection_name": "user_memory",
                "host": "192.168.0.222",
                "port": 6333,
                "embedding_model_dims": "1536",
            },
        },
        "llm": {
            "provider": "openai",
            "config": {"api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"), "model": "gpt-4o-mini"},
        },
        "embedder": {
            "provider": "openai",
            "config": {
                "api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
                "model": "text-embedding-3-small",
            },
        },
    }

My crew is defined as this

Crew(
            agents=self.agents,
            tasks=self.tasks,
            process=Process.sequential,
            verbose=True,
            memory=True,
            external_memory=ExternalMemory(
                embedder_config={
                    "provider": "mem0",
                    "config": {
                        "user_id": "jainish",
                        "local_mem0_config": self.local_mem0_config,
                    },
                }
            ),
            output_log_file="logs.json",
        )

TypeError: Memory.search() got an unexpected keyword argument 'metadata'

The payload of mem0 has changed in v2 compared to v1 but can't find out any major difference as the older version should work as it is ("version": "v1.1" added in config).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create any crew which uses external memory with mem0 provider as shown above.
2. Run the crew.

Expected behavior

The local mem0 search functionality should work as it does with the cloud one.
I am using qdrant for my vector store.

Hi @Jainish-S,
I think there is one bug associated with the use of local_mem0_config,

This is the issue, #2587. the local config parameter is not being passed currently to the Mem0 class.

[Jainish-S]

@Vidit-Ostwal Yes I had found it earlier and have fixed it locally.

[Vidit-Ostwal]

@Vidit-Ostwal Yes I had found it earlier and have fixed it locally.

@Jainish-S still the issue is there?

[Jainish-S]

@Vidit-Ostwal Yes the issue is still persistent when using local mem0, this doesn't arise when using the mem0 cloud provider config

[lucasgomide]

@Jainish-S It happens when you don't set the api_key - I'll work in a solution for it this week

[Vidit-Ostwal]

@lucasgomide, is this because MemoryClient and Memory have a different input parameter?

[Vidit-Ostwal]

@lucasgomide If you don't mind, can I pick this up?
I think the solution is quite simple, just took a look at the search method for both Memory and MemoryClient.
and check on the type of object self.memory is?

Sure man, thank u so much..

[lucasgomide]

@Vidit-Ostwal I think this PR handles that, right? #2604

I think so. The author @Dev-Khant, is the maintainer of mem0 itself. I think he pretty much knows what actually the issue is and the best way to resolve that as well.
Thanks for collaborating on this issue.
