Type URI: https://modeled-information-format.github.io/mif-rs/references/errors/no-cache-dir/v1 HTTP status: 500 Exit code: 1 Emitted by: mif-embed (EmbedError::NoCacheDir)

Message

Section titled “Message”
no user cache directory available to cache '{model}'

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

dirs::cache_dir() returned None — the platform has no resolvable user cache directory, so sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 has nowhere to be cached on first use.

Suggested fix

Section titled “Suggested fix”

Unspecified — this indicates an internal problem with mif-embed or the cached model files. Try clearing the model cache directory and retrying, or report it upstream if the problem persists.
