How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

If you name your workspace with special characters, that is breaking vector database table access.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Name a workspace like "No Man's Sky". Add any document to the workspace and try to embed it.

The problem seems to persist after a workspace name change in workspace settings. Only solution for now is remove the workspace and create another one with a better name.

Best regards

Yeah, the name change only changes the display name, not its table-slug. Extended the mapping to cover all symbols
