BadRequestError: 400 Invalid ‘thread_id’: ‘undefined’. Expected an ID that begins with ‘thread’

Confirm this is a Node library issue and not an underlying OpenAI API issue

• This is an issue with the Node library

Describe the bug

I properly create a thread and a run and then I am hardcoding my thread id and run id to test openai.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(), thus

const thread_id = 'thread_VSLQYOG6Wot7l03QzJKIet2d';
const run_id = 'run_MKBOgssbJVH6lSUH1vcBg5sH';
let runstatus = await aiclient.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(thread_id, run_id);

And I keep getting

400 Invalid 'thread_id': 'undefined'. Expected an ID that begins with 'thread'.

There are lots of other developers facing the same strange error, here: https://community.openai.com/t/badrequesterror-400-invalid-thread-id-undefined-expected-an-id-that-begins-with-thread/1281237/4

Seems like an OpenAI node SDK issue.

To Reproduce

Run something like

const thread_id = 'thread_VSLQYOG6Wot7l03QzJKIet2d';
const run_id = 'run_MKBOgssbJVH6lSUH1vcBg5sH';
let runstatus = await aiclient.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(thread_id, run_id);

Expect

400 Invalid 'thread_id': 'undefined'. Expected an ID that begins with 'thread'.

Apparently the correct invocation is

... retrieve(run_id, { thread_id });

However this is not reflected in the documentation here https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/runs/getRun?lang=curl

I guess it's a documentation bug, not the SDK

@voscarmv did you find the issue? Have you solved that? I'm also spiraling around that!

@ank232 yes, the correct call is

openai.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(run.id, { thread_id : currentThreadId})

The official documentation is wrong

EDIT: Was wrong. I see they fixed it!
