When the caller aborts an OpenAI chat, the adapter logs openai.… fatal on the errors channel. That channel stays on when debug is left out, so each user Stop prints console.error, or goes to the app's logger and its error monitoring. A direct chatStream() call that is aborted before the response also yields RUN_ERROR with stopReason: 'error' and no code. The Responses and Chat Completions adapters now skip the log for a caller abort, and they classify the openai client's abort error as an abort (code: 'aborted').

🎯 Changes

  • isAbortError in both adapters also matches instanceof APIUserAbortError. The openai client throws that class, and it leaves name as 'Error', so the old name check never matched it. runErrorPayload returns { message: 'Request aborted', code: 'aborted' } for an abort, the same shape that core's toRunErrorPayload gives a named abort.
  • Every fatal log in a chatStream, processStreamChunks or structuredOutput catch is skipped when isAbortError(error) is true. The same blocks already use isAbortError to set stopReason: 'aborted'.
  • Unit tests: tests/caller-abort-logging.test.ts aborts mid-stream through chat(). tests/abort-before-response.test.ts aborts before the response, on direct chatStream() and structuredOutput() calls, for both APIs and for both createOpenAIClient() and new OpenAI().
  • E2E: four chat.spec.ts cases, openai (Responses) and openai-compatible (Chat Completions), mid-stream and before the response. The route api.chat-caller-abort.ts returns the errors log lines, plus the onAbort count or the RUN_ERROR code.
  • Docs: no change. docs/advanced/debug-logging.md describes the errors channel as the log of failures. The middleware guide sends an abort to onAbort, not to onError. A caller abort is not a failure, so the docs already describe the fixed behavior.
  • Changeset: patch for @tanstack/openai-base.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Root cause

Issue. Two cases, both in the Responses and Chat Completions adapters:

  1. A user Stop during a streamed chat writes one fatal entry to the errors log channel (openai-base: a caller abort mid-stream logs 'processStreamChunks fatal' on the errors channel #2092). This occurs when the abort lands while the adapter waits for the next SSE event.
  2. A direct chatStream() or structuredOutput() call that is aborted before the response arrives logs chatStream fatal or structuredOutput fatal. chatStream() also yields RUN_ERROR with stopReason: 'error' and no code (openai-base: a caller abort from the openai client is not classified as an abort (APIUserAbortError has no name) #2096). Through chat() this does not show, because core stops first.

Cause.

  1. The catch blocks call logger.errors('… fatal') with no condition. Core treats a caller abort as onAbort, not onError.
  2. On abort, the client throws new APIUserAbortError() from openai/core/error. In openai 7.30.0 that error has name: 'Error'. isAbortError and core's toRunErrorPayload match aborts by name only, so they miss it. The name check came in feat: streaming structured output across openai/openrouter/grok/groq + summarize fix #527, on openai 6.9.1, whose error also has name: 'Error'. The existing tests pass because they build a mock error with name: 'APIUserAbortError' set by hand.

Fix. isAbortError also checks instanceof APIUserAbortError, and runErrorPayload maps an abort to code: 'aborted'. Each fatal log in these catch blocks runs only when isAbortError(error) is false. A real failure still logs fatal and keeps its own code.

Possible alternatives

  • Set name on the error in client.ts. This also fixes core's name checks. But it misses a user-supplied new OpenAI() client, and the repro shows that case fails the same way.
  • Use instanceof in core. Core does not depend on openai, so it cannot import the class.
  • Drop error logs in core when the run's signal is aborted. That covers every adapter at once. But it changes the logger for all activities, and it can hide a real failure that occurs after an abort.
  • Also guard structuredOutputStream. Its fatal log runs after it yields RUN_ERROR. chat() stops at that chunk, so the log does not run there. A direct caller that keeps reading after RUN_ERROR can reach it. I have no repro for that path, so this PR leaves it alone.

Other adapters have the same unconditional fatal log in their stream catch blocks, from reading the code: Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, Bedrock and OpenRouter. I did not run them. The Anthropic client throws the same unnamed APIUserAbortError, but its text adapter checks signal.aborted instead. They are out of scope, because the contributing guide asks for one topic per PR.

Testing

Commands run

  • NX_BASE=upstream/main pnpm test:pr: pass (Successfully ran targets test:sherif, test:knip, test:docs, test:kiira, test:maintainer, test:ai-review, test:oxlint, test:lib, test:types, test:build, build for 31 projects and 51 tasks they depend on).
  • pnpm --filter @tanstack/openai-base exec vitest run: 38 files, 479 tests passed.
  • pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-e2e exec playwright test tests/chat.spec.ts: 18 passed, the 4 caller-abort cases included.
  • pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-e2e test:e2e: 720 passed, 1 failed, 4 skipped, 3 did not run. The failure is multimodal-tool-result-wire.spec.ts › mistral: tool message content is an array with an image_url chunk. @tanstack/ai-mistral does not depend on @tanstack/openai-base. The spec reads entries[0] of the shared aimock journal, so a parallel test's request can come first. Run alone, the spec passes (7 of 7).
  • tsc --noEmit -p testing/e2e/tsconfig.json: clean.

E2E fail, then pass. With @tanstack/openai-base built from this PR before this update (only the #2092 guards), the 2 new cases fail:

  ✘  1 [chromium] › tests/chat.spec.ts:55:3 › openai — a caller abort before the response is an abort and logs no error (88ms)
  ✘  2 [chromium] › tests/chat.spec.ts:55:3 › openai-compatible — a caller abort before the response is an abort and logs no error (97ms)

    +   "errors": Array [
    +     "❌ [tanstack-ai:errors] ❌ openai.chatStream fatal",
    +   ],
  2 failed

With this PR, all 4 caller-abort cases pass. The mid-stream cases also failed on main before the first push (both logged openai.processStreamChunks fatal).

Repro on clean main: abort before the response (#2096). The test is tests/abort-before-response.test.ts on this branch. It uses the real client over a fetch that never answers, and aborts after 10 ms. I ran it with pnpm --dir <worktree>/packages/openai-base exec vitest run tests/abort-before-response.test.ts. The Vite config warning lines are left out.

On main (e8546f9), 12 of 12 fail:

 ❯ |@tanstack/openai-base| tests/abort-before-response.test.ts (12 tests | 12 failed) 149ms

 Test Files  1 failed (1)
      Tests  12 failed (12)

On this PR before this update (only the #2092 guards, merged with main), 12 of 12 still fail, with the same chatStream fatal and structuredOutput fatal lines. The guards ask isAbortError, which returns false for this error.

On this branch:

 Test Files  2 passed (2)
      Tests  14 passed (14)

That run includes tests/caller-abort-logging.test.ts. To check that each change is needed, I removed one at a time and ran the repro again. Each removal fails cases: instanceof (6 per adapter), runErrorPayload (2 per adapter), and each fatal guard (2 each).

Repro on clean main: Stop mid-stream (#2092)

Each adapter gets one SSE event, then the body stays open. The test aborts 20 ms after the first text chunk. It checks that the run got a text chunk, that onAbort ran once, and that the logger got no error line. This test is not on the branch.

Manual test

  1. On main, add this PR's tests/abort-before-response.test.ts. Run pnpm --filter @tanstack/openai-base exec vitest run tests/abort-before-response.test.ts. All 12 cases fail with stopReason: 'error' or a fatal log line.
  2. On this branch, run the same command. All 12 cases pass.
  3. Build @tanstack/openai-base. Then run pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-e2e exec playwright test tests/chat.spec.ts --grep "caller abort". The mid-stream cases return { "errors": [], "aborts": 1 }. The before-response cases return { "errors": [], "code": "aborted" }.

How this PR makes testing easy. Each unit test file is one table: both APIs, and for the new file both client kinds. Each case uses the real OpenAI client over a fake fetch, with only the errors log channel on, as when debug is left out. The E2E route returns the log lines and the abort result as JSON, so a failure shows the exact log line. Gap: only chat-completions-text.test.ts asserts that a non-abort stream error still logs fatal. Responses has no such control test.

CodeRabbit. Both review threads asked for parts of #2096, and both were withdrawn as out of scope for the first push. This update fixes both: the direct chatStream abort with APIUserAbortError, and the structuredOutput log. The structuredOutputStream part of the first thread stays out (see Possible alternatives).

Linked issues

Closes #2092
Closes #2096

Related: #2090. It is the same client, with a different check: the adapters detect the SDK's stream by instanceof Stream, and the client's output does not match.

Risk / rollback

Low. The RUN_ERROR chunk still arrives, and a real failure still logs fatal. Two outputs change for an abort: the errors log line is gone, and RUN_ERROR.message is 'Request aborted' with code: 'aborted'. An ERR_CANCELED error already counted as an abort in isAbortError, so its RUN_ERROR.code is now also 'aborted'. To undo, revert the PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Caller-initiated cancellations during streamed chats no longer produce fatal entries in error logs. Other stream failures continue to be logged, and cancellation events are still reported.
    • Aborting a chat request before a response arrives now returns an aborted error. Cancelled structured-output requests also report cancellation without adding an error log entry.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for caller cancellations across supported chat providers, streaming formats, and before-response scenarios.

The stream catch blocks skip the errors-channel log when isAbortError(error) is true. RUN_ERROR with code "aborted" is still yielded.

Walkthrough

Both OpenAI text adapters now recognize caller aborts, skip fatal error logging for them, and return an aborted code for streaming errors. Unit and end-to-end tests cover mid-stream and pre-response aborts.

Changes: OpenAI caller-abort handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Abort classification and adapter behavior
packages/openai-base/src/adapters/chat-completions-text.ts, packages/openai-base/src/adapters/responses-text.ts, .changeset/openai-base-abort-log.md
Both adapters recognize APIUserAbortError, skip fatal error logging for recognized aborts, and map aborts to Request aborted with code aborted. The changeset declares a patch release.
Unit coverage for caller aborts
packages/openai-base/tests/caller-abort-logging.test.ts, packages/openai-base/tests/abort-before-response.test.ts
Tests cover aborts during streaming and before a response. They check abort callbacks, error callbacks, streaming error results, structured-output rejection, and error-channel logging.
End-to-end abort coverage
testing/e2e/src/routes/api.chat-caller-abort.ts, testing/e2e/src/routeTree.gen.ts, testing/e2e/tests/chat.spec.ts
A new route exercises mid-stream and pre-response aborts. The route tree registers it, and end-to-end tests check results for openai and openai-compatible.

Explanation

Directly linked issue #2092 requires that a caller abort during OpenAI chat streaming runs onAbort, yields RUN_ERROR with code "aborted", and writes nothing to the errors channel. The head meets this for the mid-stream path that the issue reproduces. In responses-text.ts, processStreamChunks (around line 2720) skips the 'processStreamChunks fatal' log when isAbortError(error) is true. In chat-completions-text.ts, the stream catch (around line 275) has the same guard. The responses-text.ts chatStream catch (around line 641) is also guarded, as the issue's proposed fix requires. The RUN_ERROR yield and the 'aborted' payload are unchanged. The mid-stream case already matched isAbortError on the base revision, so the new APIUserAbortError recognition is not needed for #2092. Test evidence: tests/caller-abort-logging.test.ts and two E2E cases were reported to fail on main and pass on this branch. I did not re-run them. Residual scope: the issue's other adapters and structuredOutput paths are not required by #2092.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(openai-base): treat a caller abort as an abort, not a fatal error" matches the main change. The PR stops the openai-base Responses and Chat Completions adapters from logging a fatal error for a caller-initiated abort, and it classifies the OpenAI SDK's APIUserAbortError as an abort with code 'aborted'. The title is specific and uses a conventional commit prefix. It is 69 characters, within a reasonable length for a single-sentence title.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It includes the Changes section with a detailed explanation of the fix, root cause, and alternatives. The checklist is filled in. The Release Impact section marks the changeset item as published code. It also covers testing, the linked issues (#2092, #2096), and risk and rollback. The template's Changes section asks what changed and why, and the description covers both. Some minor items are extra, such as the long repro code, but nothing required is missing.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff (merge base e8546f9 to head 02ae7d2) adds changes that the linked issue does not require and that the PR description excludes. (1) Both adapters now import APIUserAbortError and check error instanceof APIUserAbortError inside isAbortError. The PR description says the guard covers pre-response aborts only after #2096 is fixed. The issue assigns the APIUserAbortError gap to #2096, which is related but not a linked target of this PR. (2) runErrorPayload in both adapters now returns { message: 'Request aborted', code: 'aborted' } for any abort. This changes error payloads on structuredOutput and direct adapter paths, which are outside #2092. (3) structuredOutput catches in both adapters now skip the fatal log. The PR objectives state that structured-output paths are excluded. (4) New tests and E2E cases cover pre-response aborts and an at=before-response route mode for #2096 behavior. The changeset also documents direct chatStream pre-response aborts. These changes share the abort-logging topic and helper, but they are not needed for the mid-stream fix in #2092. The PR description also says the chatStream guard is left out, while the head contains it. The chatStream guard is part of #2092's proposed fix, so it is in scope.

Resolution

Remove the #2096 and structured-output changes from this PR, or move them to a separate PR linked to #2096. Specifically: revert the APIUserAbortError import and instanceof check in isAbortError in both adapters; revert the runErrorPayload abort mapping in both adapters; revert the structuredOutput log guards in both adapters; remove abort-before-response tests (abort-before-response.test.ts and the before-response E2E cases and route mode); and remove the changeset text about direct chatStream pre-response aborts. Keep the processStreamChunks, chat-completions stream catch, and responses chatStream guards with their mid-stream tests. Update the PR description so it matches the code: it should list the chatStream guard as included and remove the statement that the chatStream block is left alone. Also correct the commit message claim that this PR closes #2096.

Thanks for the PR, @aayushbtw! 🙌 @tombeckenham will take a look.

Automated pre-review checks

  • ✅ CI passing
  • ✅ No merge conflicts
  • ✅ Changeset present
  • ✅ E2E test changes included

Automated triage — a human review follows.

isAbortError also checks instanceof APIUserAbortError, whose name is
'Error'. runErrorPayload maps an abort to code 'aborted'. The chatStream
and structuredOutput catches skip the fatal log for an abort.

Closes TanStack#2096
@aayushbtw aayushbtw changed the title fix(openai-base): do not log a caller abort as a fatal error fix(openai-base): treat a caller abort as an abort, not a fatal error Nov 8, 2026

Review comments at @packages/openai-base/src/adapters/chat-completions-text.ts:
- Around line 819-820: Update the abort detection around APIUserAbortError so
before-response aborts from another OpenAI module instance are recognized
without relying on instanceof alone. Use a reliable cross-instance-stable abort
discriminator, and preserve the adapter’s existing user-abort handling so these
errors are not logged as fatal or emitted with stopReason: 'error'.

Review comments at @packages/openai-base/src/adapters/responses-text.ts:
- Around line 642-647: Move the non-abort error logging in the chatStream error
handler before the RUN_ERROR yield so the log is emitted even if the consumer
stops at that event. Preserve the isAbortError guard and the existing
logger.errors payload.
- Around line 760-768: Update the fatal-log guards in both adapters’
structuredOutputStream error paths to skip abort errors using the established
isAbort check. Preserve yielding RUN_ERROR for aborted SSE reads while
suppressing the fatal log.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Out of Scope Changes check:
Remove the #2096 and structured-output changes from this PR, or move them to a
separate PR linked to #2096. Specifically: revert the APIUserAbortError import
and instanceof check in isAbortError in both adapters; revert the
runErrorPayload abort mapping in both adapters; revert the structuredOutput log
guards in both adapters; remove abort-before-response tests
(abort-before-response.test.ts and the before-response E2E cases and route
mode); and remove the changeset text about direct chatStream pre-response
aborts. Keep the processStreamChunks, chat-completions stream catch, and
responses chatStream guards with their mid-stream tests. Update the PR
description so it matches the code: it should list the chatStream guard as
included and remove the statement that the chatStream block is left alone. Also
correct the commit message claim that this PR closes #2096.

- Docstring Coverage:
Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage
threshold.

Recognize aborts from another OpenAI module instance.

If an injected OpenAI client comes from another module instance, a before-response abort fails this instanceof check. The adapter logs it as fatal and emits stopReason: 'error'. Recognize these aborts without relying on class identity.

Log non-abort failures before yielding RUN_ERROR.

If a consumer stops at RUN_ERROR, the generator closes before this log runs. Request failures such as HTTP 429 can therefore go unlogged. Move the guarded log before the yield.

Skip fatal logs for structured-output stream aborts.

When a direct caller drains structuredOutputStream and an aborted SSE read throws, both adapters log a fatal error after yielding RUN_ERROR. Guard both logs with !isAbort.
