@AI-Ahmed no need to work on this one here. I’ve already implemented the fix in this pull request: https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/pull/2488 Great to see your enthusiasm though! 👍

Hi @AI-Ahmed thanks for pointing out this problem. We also came across the problem here: #2443 We forgot to update the text in the Exception though. I will take care of that now and then close this issue. Thanks again! 👍

No problem my friend! I’m happy to help at any time. I really like your framework, and It is really huge thing for me to help you with anyway!
