Fixes #7205

Problem

OLLAMA_HOST follows Ollama's own convention, where a bare host or a host:port pair is normal — Ollama's client fills in the scheme and port itself. CrewAI's _normalize_ollama_base_url only appended /v1, so any OLLAMA_HOST without a scheme produced an invalid base URL.

With OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 set (the standard way to make the Ollama server listen on all interfaces):

>>> from crewai import LLM
>>> LLM(model="ollama/llama3.2").base_url
'0.0.0.0/v1'

Every call then fails:

ERROR:root:Failed to connect to OpenAI API: Connection error.
ERROR:root:OpenAI API call failed: Failed to connect to OpenAI API: Connection error.

The message names OpenAI even though a local Ollama model was requested, because ollama/* routes to OpenAICompatibleCompletion. That sends users debugging API keys and networking rather than a malformed URL.

Affected values — 6 of 9 realistic forms, including 127.0.0.1:11434, Ollama's documented default:

OLLAMA_HOST Before After
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0/v1 http://0.0.0.0:11434/v1
localhost localhost/v1 http://localhost:11434/v1
127.0.0.1:11434 127.0.0.1:11434/v1 http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1
192.168.1.5:11434 192.168.1.5:11434/v1 http://192.168.1.5:11434/v1
http://localhost:11434 http://localhost:11434/v1 unchanged
https://ollama.example.com https://ollama.example.com/v1 unchanged

Fix

Fill in whatever is missing, mirroring Ollama's client behaviour:

  1. Prepend http:// when no scheme is present
  2. Append port 11434 when no port is present and the scheme is http (https implies 443, so no port is added)
  3. Append /v1 when missing

Uses urlsplit/urlunsplit rather than string manipulation so the netloc and path stay correctly separated and query/fragment survive.

Testing

Five cases added to TestNormalizeOllamaBaseUrl covering bare hosts, host:port without a scheme, and an explicit https:// URL. The four existing tests are unchanged and act as regression guards.

lib/crewai/tests/llms/ — 630 passed, 20 skipped. ruff, ruff-format and mypy all clean.

Verified end to end against a live Ollama server, with no explicit base_url passed:

OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0          -> http://0.0.0.0:11434/v1     -> OK
OLLAMA_HOST=127.0.0.1:11434  -> http://127.0.0.1:11434/v1   -> OK

Note

A non-numeric port (http://host:abc) makes parts.port raise ValueError, which propagates. I've left that as a loud failure rather than swallowing it, but happy to change if you'd prefer explicit handling.


This PR was written with AI assistance and should carry the llm-generated label per CONTRIBUTING.md. I don't have permission to apply labels on this repo — could a maintainer add it? The commit also carries a Co-Authored-By trailer for the same reason.

OLLAMA_HOST follows Ollama's own convention and may be a bare host
("0.0.0.0") or a host:port pair ("127.0.0.1:11434") rather than a full
URL. _normalize_ollama_base_url only appended "/v1", so those values
produced invalid base URLs such as "0.0.0.0/v1", and every request
failed with the misleading error "Failed to connect to OpenAI API:
Connection error." - confusing, since no OpenAI model was requested.

Fill in the missing parts the way Ollama's own client does: prepend
http:// when no scheme is present, append the default port 11434 when
none is present and the scheme is http (https implies 443), then append
the /v1 suffix the OpenAI-compatible endpoint requires.

Six of nine realistic OLLAMA_HOST forms were affected, including
127.0.0.1:11434, which is Ollama's documented default.

Heads up for triage: this PR was written with AI assistance, so per CONTRIBUTING.md it needs the llm-generated label. I tried to apply it when opening the PR but outside contributors don't have label permissions on this repo — could a maintainer add it? The commit also carries a Co-Authored-By trailer for the same reason.

Flagging it explicitly so it isn't mistaken for an unlabelled AI contribution.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Ollama base URL normalizer now adds missing http://, defaults HTTP URLs to port 11434, appends /v1, and preserves query and fragment components. Tests cover bare hosts, host-port inputs, and explicit HTTPS URLs.

Changes

Ollama URL normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
URL normalization and validation
lib/crewai/src/crewai/llms/providers/openai_compatible/completion.py, lib/crewai/tests/llms/openai_compatible/test_openai_compatible.py
The normalizer parses and rebuilds URLs, adds missing schemes and HTTP ports, appends /v1, and preserves existing ports. Tests cover bare hosts, host-port inputs, and HTTPS URLs.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 191fc

The change fixes bare Ollama hosts, but URLs containing query strings or fragments can still be malformed during normalization, potentially causing connection failures for those configurations. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a follow-up to normalize the parsed path safely.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize only the parsed path.

Line 114 removes a trailing / from a query or fragment before parsing. For example, http://localhost:11434/v1?redirect=/ becomes http://localhost:11434/v1?redirect=. A URL such as http://localhost:11434/?q=1 also produces //v1.

  • lib/crewai/src/crewai/llms/providers/openai_compatible/completion.py#L114-L125: Parse the URL first. Apply rstrip("/") to parts.path only.
  • lib/crewai/tests/llms/openai_compatible/test_openai_compatible.py#L118-L136: Add behavior tests for a root or /v1/ path with query and fragment components, plus a query value ending in /.

Thanks for the pull request.

First-time contributors need an associated open issue before we can review a PR.

May I know , why this PR is closed . I wish to know about this for my learning purposes. Can I get in detail @Vidit-Ostwal

Answering my own question for anyone who lands here: this was closed by the First-time contributor issue required workflow, not by a failing check. Both CI checks passed — the workflow's job is to close first-time PRs that have no linked issue, so it reports success even as it closes the PR, which made it look like a test failure at first glance.

I've now followed the steps from the bot's comment:

GitHub wouldn't let me reopen this one (422 Validation Failed on both the REST and GraphQL reopen endpoints), so I opened a new PR instead, which the bot's message lists as the alternative. require-issue passes on #7206.

Thanks @Vidit-Ostwal — no reply needed here, please review #7206 instead. Closing the loop so this doesn't sit as an unanswered question.
