Unsupported operation: streaming not implemented when listing files

[Innomen]

Describe the bug
When using Goose with the ollama provider and qwen3-coder model, attempting to list files in a directory fails. The session produces the error Unsupported operation: streaming not implemented, the last user message is removed, and the operation cannot be completed. This appears to be an unhandled exception related to non-streaming backends.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open a terminal and run goose

Start a session with provider ollama and model qwen3-coder

Enter the command: list files in directory please

Observe the error:

Indexing imagination... Error: Unsupported operation: streaming not implemented
Interrupted before the model replied and removed the last message.
error: The error above was an exception we were not able to handle.

Expected behavior
The directory contents should be listed, or at minimum Goose should handle the unsupported operation without crashing or deleting the user’s last message.

Screenshots
Not applicable; error occurs in CLI terminal.

Please provide following information:

OS & Arch: Garuda Linux x86_64

Interface: CLI

Version: Latest (2025-08-23)

Extensions enabled: None specified

Provider & Model: ollama - qwen3-coder

Additional context

Running llama.cpp server separately works with the model Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-UD-Q5_K_XL.gguf

The issue seems related to operations that require streaming output, which is currently unsupported for this backend

Conversation context is removed when the error occurs

I can confirm that I am experiencing this same issue. disabled all extensions, chat only mode as well i get this in both UI and backend via CLI. Please release fix ASAP.

Same issue for me. First time user installed 1.6.0. Could not get Ollama on Mac Silicon to work. Spent a couple of hours troubleshooting with no success. Eventually found this post and installed 1.5.0 of both the Mac Silicon Desktop app and the CLI. Both work correctly with defaults.

@jbtaylor thanks for the hack, that fixed the issue for me as well.

same issue here with 1.6.0, will downgrade. Using Version 1.6.0 on WSL and seperate trial on Windows Desktop with Ollama qwen3:1.7b and qwen3:4b test setup

@jbtaylor this worked for me. Thanks! For others looking for v1.5.0, the assets are here: https://github.com/block/goose/releases

Yep, I have an M1 MacBook Pro and am running Goose inside a Debian Docker container, and I had to downgrade to v1.5 and then it could connect to my local Ollama server. So, something went wrong in 1.6.
