Problem

In the watsonx instrumentation, _emit_response_events takes a single parameter:

def _emit_response_events(response: dict):
    for i, message in enumerate(response.get("results", [])):
        emit_event(ChoiceEvent(...))

but _handle_response calls it with two:

if should_emit_events() and event_logger:
    _emit_response_events(responses, event_logger)   # <-- one argument too many

which raises

TypeError: _emit_response_events() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

_handle_response is decorated with @dont_throw, so the exception never reaches the caller — it is logged at DEBUG level and discarded. The net effect is that in event mode, non-streaming watsonx responses emit no ChoiceEvent at all, and nothing about the failure is visible at default log levels. That is presumably why this has gone unnoticed.

The sibling that gets it right

_handle_stream_response sits behind the identical should_emit_events() and event_logger guard and calls the same helper with a single argument:

if should_emit_events() and event_logger:
    _emit_response_events(
        {"results": [{"stop_reason": ..., "generated_text": ...}]},
    )

So the streaming path emits choice events correctly and the non-streaming path silently does not. _emit_response_events needs no logger — it goes through the module-level emit_event(...) helper.

call site args passed binds?
_handle_stream_response (line 537) 1
_handle_response (line 518) 2 ❌ — this PR

Fix

Drop the stray argument so the non-streaming path matches the streaming one:

     if should_emit_events() and event_logger:
-        _emit_response_events(responses, event_logger)
+        _emit_response_events(responses)

Verification

The watsonx test suite needs the ibm_watsonx_ai SDK plus a recorded cassette, and there is no event-mode cassette to extend, so I could not add a runnable regression test — I have not pretended otherwise below.

Instead of hand-copying a repro (which can silently drift from the source), I replayed the actual argument binding straight out of the AST: the helper's parameter list and every Call node's shape are read from __init__.py itself, a signature-identical stub is generated, and the binding is replayed.

signature from source: (response)
  line 518  in _handle_response         2 positional -> TypeError: _emit_response_events()
                                                        takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given
  line 537  in _handle_stream_response  1 positional -> BINDS OK

PATCHED (drop the stray event_logger):
  _handle_response -> _emit_response_events(responses)   BINDS OK

The unpatched non-streaming call reproduces the TypeError; the streaming sibling binds fine both before and after; the patched call binds.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed response handling to ensure response events are emitted correctly.

`_emit_response_events` takes a single parameter, but `_handle_response`
calls it with two, so in event mode the call raises

    TypeError: _emit_response_events() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

`_handle_response` is decorated with `@dont_throw`, so the exception is
swallowed and only logged at DEBUG level: no ChoiceEvent is ever emitted for
non-streaming watsonx responses, and nothing surfaces to the user.

The sibling call in `_handle_stream_response`, behind the identical
`should_emit_events() and event_logger` guard, already passes a single
argument -- this call site is the only one that does not.

The Watsonx response handler now calls _emit_response_events with the response argument only.

_handle_response no longer passes the obsolete event_logger argument to _emit_response_events.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to adb02

Non-streaming watsonx responses can still fail to emit ChoiceEvent records because the helper and event emitter signatures remain inconsistent, with the failure suppressed from callers. Merge should wait until the helper and both call sites use a consistent signature.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Pass event_logger through the response-event helper.

This call now passes the correct argument count to _emit_response_events, but the helper still calls emit_event(ChoiceEvent(...)) without the required event_logger parameter defined in event_emitter.py:32-49. The non-streaming path therefore raises TypeError and emits no ChoiceEvent. Update the helper and both response call sites to pass event_logger.

Proposed fix
-def _emit_response_events(response: dict):
+def _emit_response_events(response: dict, event_logger):
...
-        emit_event(

             ChoiceEvent(
                 index=i,
                 message={"content": message.get("generated_text"), "role": "assistant"},
                 finish_reason=message.get("stop_reason", "unknown"),
