Description

Steps to Reproduce

List the steps needed to encounter this bug or issue.

1. Create an agent with no memory

   agent = Agent(

       description="You are an enthusiastic news reporter with a flair for storytelling!",
       markdown=True,
   )
   

2. Call get_system_message()

   agent.get_system_message()
   

Expected Behavior

No error, and system message returned

Actual Behavior

Error (see below)

Screenshots or Logs (if applicable)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/flo/Work/Private/Dev/AI/LearningAgno/src/quickstart/basic_agent.py", line 14, in <module>
    agent.get_system_message()
  File "/Users/flo/Work/Private/Dev/AI/LearningAgno/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/agno/agent/agent.py", line 1936, in get_system_message
    if self.memory.create_user_memories:
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'create_user_memories'

Environment

• OS: Mac OS
• Agno Version: 1.1.0
• Additional Environment Details: Python 3.11.11

Possible Solutions (optional)

Not sure, haven't looked at the code in details. I'm assuming it's a quick fix. Worst case, if it does require a first call to .run() or similar, then throw an error with a message saying you can't call agent.get_system_message() before first generating at least one message

Additional Context

I love what you've done with Agno. Kudos!

Also if it's a quick fix, but don't have the bandwidth to do it, please give me some pointers regarding your preferred way of addressing this and I'll be happy to submit a PR

@HelloThisIsFlo thanks for the kind words!
I am pushing a fix for this. It will be released tomorrow most likely

@dirkbrnd Amazing!

As a side note, I was looking at the cause (very clear codebase btw), and wanted to submit a PR. But ... I couldn't run the tests.
I was getting errors around missing dependencies.

I'm sure I could fix it somehow, but since you have two super nice scripts ./script/dev_setup.sh and ./script/test.sh, I think it'd be a good developer experience to update them so that they install the required deps to have the test passing on the first go.

I understand it's not related to this particular issue, so let me know if you'd like me to raise this somewhere else 👍

[dirkbrnd]

That is a great suggestion. We just started with tests... they aren't even yet running automatically, but they will soon!

Fix released! Please update to 1.1.1 with pip install -U agno.
