Originally created by @lf2foce on GitHub (Oct 29, 2025).
Issue Description:
The multiagent workflow breaks when using llama-index-workflows version 2.9.0, while it works perfectly with version 2.8.3.
Problem Details:
TypeError: cannot pickle 'module' objectduring workflow context serializationdeepcopy()operations in workflow context handlingEnvironment:
Temporary Workaround:
Downgraded to llama-index-workflows==2.8.3 and pinned the version to prevent auto-updates.
Request:
Could you please investigate the serialization changes introduced in version 2.9.0 that might be causing this pickling issue with workflow contexts?
@logan-markewich commented on GitHub (Oct 29, 2025):
@lf2foce any code to reproduce would help
@adrianlyjak commented on GitHub (Oct 29, 2025):
@lf2foce a stack trace would also be helpful
@bambooblood commented on GitHub (Oct 29, 2025):
I've detected exactly the same with v2.9.0, and downgrading to v2.8.3 solved the issue. I'll try to provide a reproduction code tomorrow if still needed.
Disclaimer: In my case, it didn't raise any error directly, the agent.run() simply stops before really start working.
@adrianlyjak commented on GitHub (Oct 29, 2025):
Thanks @bambooblood. We've also pushed a fix for hashing issue, but it doesn't sound like the same. I'm curious if you see the same issues on v2.9.1
@bambooblood commented on GitHub (Oct 29, 2025):
Sure, I'll take a look tomorrow!
@bambooblood commented on GitHub (Oct 30, 2025):
Hey @adrianlyjak ! I've done some testing switching between different versions:
Both v2.8.3 and v2.9.1 are working as expected! Using the provided code (a very simplified version of my current implementation) you should be able to see the events in the console. So, seems like the issue is only happening in v2.9.0, where you'll see that the agent is not really running and it only calls the done_callback without any other kind of interaction. I've taken a look at your PR and I'm afraid I didn't see a direct relationship between it and any of this.
@adrianlyjak commented on GitHub (Oct 30, 2025):
Thanks @bambooblood for the script. Yeah, if you remove the
stream_events, you'll get the error logged fromawait handlerthat 2.9.1 fixes:TypeError: unhashable type: 'ReActAgent'. Unfortunately the event stream is stalled out in this failure scenario, so you never reach that if you stream events.Were you getting the specific
cannot pickle 'module' objecterror ever. If so under what circumstances?@lf2foce have you had a chance to retest?
@bambooblood commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2025):
Following your instructions, yes, I'm seeing that
TypeError: unhashable type: 'ReActAgent'using v2.9.0. Regardingcannot pickle 'module' object, no, I've never seen that.So, at least from me side, all working as expected with the fixed 2.9.1 version. Thanks a lot!
@na-proyectran commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2025):
I'm having same
cannot pickle 'module' objecterror using llama-index-workflows v. 2.10.0It's still happening to me when I include memory object into the agents workflow.
example:
update, seems to work only with v. 2.8.3
@lf2foce commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2025):
2.10.0 still got that problem
@adrianlyjak commented on GitHub (Nov 1, 2025):
This seems somewhat nuanced. I can easily recreate a crash like this by adding a module object to A) the context store or B) the result value of a workflow event (e.g. return value of a function).
My speculation is that there's something new that is being serialized that wasn't previously. The only thing that I'm noticing is that the wait for event state has more granular serialization, so I would speculate that's related.
a precise code example recreating the bug, or a stack trace would be incredibly helpful to understand what particular part is different here. Is it an error pickling the dict returned from
to_dict? Or an error being thrown from theto_dictcall, and at what stage?Basic examples of things that throw in either case
A) setting a module reference "somehow" on the store
B) or, from a return value of a function or event
@adrianlyjak commented on GitHub (Nov 1, 2025):
Ok, so this script, which sets a non-pickleable requirement fails on >=2.9.0, whereas it did not previously on 2.8.3.
@lf2foce @na-proyectran @bambooblood are you all using requirements in a call to
wait_for_event?stack trace
@adrianlyjak commented on GitHub (Nov 3, 2025):
ah, there's another failure scenario. The deep copy in here was triggering pickling, which will crash if there are events that are pydantic serializable but not picklable. #187 will also fix this. Will release shortly
@adrianlyjak commented on GitHub (Nov 3, 2025):
All cases should now be fixed in 2.10.3. If some flavor of this error is still occurring on that version, please open a new issue with a stack trace
