The `response.text` quick accessor only works when the response contains a valid `Part`, but none was returned. Check the `candidate.safety_ratings` to see if the response was blocked.

Description of the bug:

The response.text quick accessor only works when the response contains a valid Part, but none was returned. Check the candidate.safety_ratings to see if the response was blocked.

Actual vs expected behavior:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Study\codes\Gemini_score.py", line 64, in
strr = str(id) + ":" + response.text
File "D:\Study\codes\venv\lib\site-packages\google\generativeai\types\generation_types.py", line 401, in text
raise ValueError(
ValueError: The response.text quick accessor only works when the response contains a valid Part, but none was returned. Check the candidate.safety_ratings to see if the response was blocked.

Any other information you'd like to share?

THIS IS MY CODES:

import pandas as pd
import pdb
import google.generativeai as genai
import os

genai.configure(api_key="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")

model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-1.5-pro')

response = model.generate_content(system_prompt)
strr = str(id) + ":" + response.text

system_prompt is a string

@141forever, Similar feature request #282 is already filled. Requesting you to please follow and +1 the similar issue for updates and close this thread. Thank you!

@singhniraj08 I'm facing similar problem as the OP, since the finish_reason is always OTHER and the issue you linked is talking about safety I'm not sure it is related problem.
My prompt is as simple as translating a JSON object with the content "Hi Peter, how's it going?" or "Chief Technology Officer" along with related metadata. Using the same prompt, I can easily get the result from ChatGPT, but Gemini (both Pro and Flash) just responds with finish_reason=OTHER so I don't even know what the problem is with the prompt.

Additional information:
With the same prompt I always get the expected result via the public gemini website https://gemini.google.com
With https://aistudio.google.com/app/prompts/new_chat , it is failed every time.
I can share the prompt via email if you guys are interested

@trunglebka, #282 is for implementation of more helpful error messages when the response is blocked by Gemini because of safety or other reasons. The SDK doesn't control the service's responses. If you feel the response is blocked which shouldn't be the normal case, we would suggest you to use "Send Feedback" option in Gemini docs. Ref: Screenshot below. You can also post this issue on Discourse forum.
