CodeGate gets stuck on looping

[rdimitrov]

Describe the issue

The issue is that while running the Ollama integration tests locally in a loop (script provided), either CodeGate gets stuck in a loop or the curl is left hanging for response.

This was not reproducible when using larger models (1.5B or 7B).

This does not cause a denial of service to CodeGate.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run ollama locally
2. Pull the following model - ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:0.5b
3. Start CodeGate
4. Create/activate a venv with the necessary dependencies installed
5. Run the following script -

#!/bin/bash

FAIL_COUNT=0
TOTAL_RUNS=60

for ((i=1; i<=TOTAL_RUNS; i++)); do
 echo "Run #$i"
 CODEGATE_PROVIDERS=ollama python tests/integration/integration_tests.py
 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
 ((FAIL_COUNT++))
 fi
 sleep 2
done

echo "Total failures: $FAIL_COUNT out of $TOTAL_RUNS runs."

[rdimitrov]

After debugging this it turns out that this issue was limited to Ollama (I was not able to reproduce this with the other providers I've tested it - llamacpp, openai, copilot, anthropic).

The issue is that the Ollama Server is sometimes hanging and when that happens CodeGate had a 5min timeout which was not resulting in a good fail fast behavior. The solution is to reduce the timeout to 30s.

[rdimitrov]

After further debugging the 2nd issue described here where CodeGate is stuck looping seems to be a bug with Ollama.

The reasons for this are:

• In process_stream() CodeGate keeps receiving chunks from that stream without any finish_reason being set to stop which is what causes the endless loop.
• I've tried the same use case with other providers (openai, copilot, anthropic, llamacpp) and I was not able to reproduce it.
• Re-setting my local environment affects how often I can reproduce the issue which again makes me feel it's some performance issue with Ollama.

That said I think it's alright to close the issue and move forward.
