When does this happen?
IF When using getLangchainPrompt without providing all placeholders, the SDK returns unresolved placeholders as { variableName, optional } objects instead of Langchain's expected { type: 'placeholder', name } format, causing ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages to throw an error.
How others solved it
THEN Manually map unresolved placeholder objects by converting { variableName, optional } to { type: 'placeholder', name: variableName } before passing to Langchain, or upgrade to Langfuse JS/TS SDK v4.2.0+ where the issue is fixed. Example: const fixedMessages = rawMessages.map(msg => msg.variableName ? { type: 'placeholder', name: msg.variableName } : msg);
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);Related patterns
