How to fix No connection of type ConnectionType.AZURE_AI_SERVICES found error

Question

I'm attempting to follow the setup for creating a RAG app using this site:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-studio/tutorials/copilot-sdk-create-resources?tabs=windows

After doing the first step, I get this error:

azure.core.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundError: No connection of type ConnectionType.AZURE_AI_SERVICES found

If I cut it down to find where the error is happening, it's on this line:

chat = project.inference.get_chat_completions_client()

My models are all deployed and I've triple-checked the .env file for the connection string.

Hi there Rebecca Molnar

Thnx for using QandA platform

Guess required Azure AI Services connection is either missing or improperly configured in your setup. make sure that you have created and linked a connection of type ConnectionType.AZURE_AI_SERVICES in your Azure AI project. Verify that your .env file contains the correct connection strings and environment variables, as any inaccuracies can lead to connection issues.

If this helps kindly accept the answer thanks much.

I had to create a new instance of type: Azure AI Service within the correct region for it to recognize the models.
