AttributeError: module 'openai' has no attribute 'error'

Checked other resources

• I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
• I searched the LangChain documentation with the integrated search.
• I used the GitHub search to find a similar question and didn't find it.
• I am sure that this is a bug in LangChain rather than my code.
• The bug is not resolved by updating to the latest stable version of LangChain (or the specific integration package).

Example Code

from langchain_community.embeddings import LocalAIEmbeddings

embeddings = LocalAIEmbeddings(
	openai_api_base="http://localhost:1234",
	openai_api_key="test",
	model="text-embedding-ada-002",
)

import urllib
from langchain_postgres.vectorstores import PGVector

pg_vector_store = PGVector(
	embeddings=embeddings,
	collection_name="wiki",
	connection=f"postgresql+psycopg://CONNECTION",
	use_jsonb=True,
)

from langchain_core.documents import Document

if __name__ == "__main__":
	docs = get_list_of_documents() # code omitted, it reutrns list[Documents]
	pg_vector_store.add_documents(docs)

AttributeError: module 'openai' has no attribute 'error'

Description

I am trying do embed some documents with LocalAI and pgvector.

This error should not appear. I found some issues about the same error message from last year, which was solved by downgrading packages.
But those versions are too old, so I don't feel comfortable downgrading them that far.

I am on WSL2 Debian on Windows 11.

EDIT:

Using openai directly with the same configuration, I got no problem connecting to my LocalAI instance.
