Handle session ID does not exist in the user_sessions dictionary

[gsornsen]

When trying to resume a chat using the SQLAlchemyDataLayer with SQLite as the database, and the following SQL to create the tables with:

• UUID -> TEXT
• JSONB -> TEXT
• TEXT[] ->TEXT
• BOOLEAN -> INTEGER

as UUID, JSONB, TEXT[], and BOOLEAN are not support types in SQLite:

create_tables_sql = """

            "id" TEXT PRIMARY KEY,

I'd get the following AttributeError:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'copy'

The AttributeError appeared to come from:

    if user_is_author:
        metadata = thread.get("metadata") or {}
        user_sessions[session.id] = metadata.copy()

Modifying to:

    if user_is_author:
        metadata = thread.get("metadata") or {}
        print(metadata)
        user_sessions[session.id] = metadata.copy()

Yielded:

Modifying to:

    if user_is_author:
        metadata = thread.get("metadata") or {}
        print(f"User sessions: {user_sessions}")
        user_sessions[session.id] = metadata.copy()

Yieled:

User sessions: {}

With the changes introduced in the PR, all of the persisted storage functionality works with SQLite as the database using the SQLAlchemyDataLayer and all of the cypress and backend tests passed locally.

Please point me in another direction if there's a better way to handle this elsewhere! I'm fairly new to using Chainlit and I'm a big fan.

[dokterbob]

I propose we try and tackle this one as part of #1365

[dokterbob]

On re-visiting this one; we now have full test coverage of the SQLAlchemy data layer using SQLite and all of the fields which you here claim are not supported.

That makes this PR kind of a boon, plus data mangling vs. the data layer should really be dealt with at the data layer. Thanks for the contrib, but I'll be closing this one.

[ilkersigirci]

I get the same error on the latest published chainlit==2.0rc1 when resuming the chat on Sqlite database.
I have used official sql initialization at here
The proposed fixes resolved my issue. Why did this issue is closed without proper fix @dokterbob ? Thanks in advance
