When does this happen?

IF Calling getLangchainPrompt() without resolving all placeholders causes Langchain error because unresolved placeholders are returned as {variableName, optional} instead of {type: 'placeholder', name: ...}.

How others solved it

THEN Upgrade to Langfuse JS/TS SDK v4.2.0 or later, where the issue is fixed. If upgrade not possible, manually transform the output: map objects with variableName and optional to { type: 'placeholder', name: msg.variableName } before passing to ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages().

const rawMessages = langfusePrompt.getLangchainPrompt();
const fixedMessages = rawMessages.map(msg => {
  if (msg.variableName && typeof msg.optional === "boolean") {
    return { type: "placeholder", name: msg.variableName };
  }
  return msg;
});
const langchainPrompt = ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages(fixedMessages);
