Seems like the metadata needs to be a string, and it sounds like the discord loader is inserting datetime objects into the metadata

oh so i have to modify the discord loader possibly then @Logan M ? I was trying to find any mention of date time in the discord loader source but i could not find any

update:
in order to fix this issue (which is caused by a bug in the library)
I had to itterate the documents and convert the dates to strings

Plain Text

# fix date time encoding
for doc in documents:
    doc.metadata['created_at'] = json.dumps(doc.metadata['created_at'],default=str)
    doc.metadata['edited_at'] = json.dumps(doc.metadata['edited_at'],default=str)

Yea the latter is more what I meant as a fix 👍

i should probably make a pr for the discord data connector
