provider_explicitly_requested only covers providers absent from factory_map
The condition provider != "rag" correctly identifies explicit requests, but the helpful error path (if adapter_name in factory_map) only handles mem0, chroma, and mongodb. If a user explicitly sets provider='sqlite' or provider='none' and those adapters fail, they still get a silent fallback with no indication of what went wrong. Consider extending factory_map or adding a generic "provider was requested but unavailable" message for unrecognised adapter names.

except Exception: pass silently swallows provider errors and violates the stated backward-compatibility guarantee.
When provider='mem0' is explicitly requested and mem0ai is installed but initialization fails (e.g. missing MEM0_API_KEY):
get_memory_adapterraisesRuntimeErrorโadapter = None.provider_explicitly_requested = Trueโ factory path is entered.create_mem0_memory_adapter(...)internally callsMem0MemoryAdapter.__init__, which callsMemoryClient(api_key=None)โ raisesValueError.except Exception: passcatches theValueErrorโ execution falls through to the sqlite fallback silently.
The PR description says "original ValueError preserved when mem0ai is installed but API key missing", but the current implementation breaks that guarantee. Ruff also flagged this block (S110 / BLE001).
Additionally, line 177 discards the adapter returned by the factory on success โ a wasted allocation.
The fix is to propagate all non-ImportError exceptions so that misconfigured-but-installed providers fail loudly for the user:
๐ Proposed fix
if provider_explicitly_requested:
try:
- # Try the factory function directly to get the specific ImportError message
from .adapters.factories import (
create_mem0_memory_adapter,
create_chroma_memory_adapter,
create_mongodb_memory_adapter,
)
factory_map = {
"mem0": create_mem0_memory_adapter,
"chroma": create_chroma_memory_adapter,
"mongodb": create_mongodb_memory_adapter,
}
if adapter_name in factory_map:
- # Call the factory to trigger the ImportError with installation hint
adapter_config = self._get_adapter_config_for_provider(adapter_name)
- factory_map[adapter_name](**adapter_config)
+ # Re-use the adapter if the factory succeeds; otherwise let the
+ # error (ImportError or ValueError) propagate to the caller.
+ adapter = factory_map[adapter_name](**adapter_config)
except ImportError:
- # Re-raise the ImportError with installation instructions
raise
- except Exception:
- # Fall through to fallback behavior for other errors
- pass
+ # Any other exception (e.g. ValueError for missing API key) propagates
+ # naturally, preserving the original error for the caller.With this change adapter is also populated when the factory succeeds (avoiding the silent discard), and any non-ImportError from an explicitly-requested provider surfaces correctly instead of being swallowed.

Summary
Fixes #1630 - Memory provider error gives no installation hint when package is absent.
Problem
When configuring
Memory(provider='mem0')without themem0aipackage installed, users received a misleading error message:This misdirected users to search for an API key instead of installing the missing package.
Solution
1. Updated Import Error Messages
memory/adapters/factories.pyfrompip install mem0aitopip install 'praisonaiagents[memory]'knowledge/adapters/mem0_adapter.pywith same improvement2. Fixed Silent Fallback Behavior
Memoryclass initialization inmemory/memory.pyprovider='mem0'), the class now shows the helpful ImportError instead of silently falling backprovider='rag')Testing
Verified the fix works correctly:
Backward Compatibility
โ Fully backward compatible:
mem0aiIS installed: No behavior changemem0aiIS installed but API key missing: Original ValueError preservedArchitecture Compliance
