streamText is stuck in a loop when using tools with required

[punkpeye]

The code:

const { fullStream } = await streamText({
  abortSignal: signal,
  maxSteps: 20,
  messages: relevantMessages,
  model,
  toolChoice: 'required',
  tools,
});

for await (const chunk of fullStream) {
  // ...

The logs show:

{

  toolCallId: 'call_b0DkOmitAwd93Mt4xXd6u1gH',
  toolName: 'searchWeb',
  args: { query: 'What is the capital of France?' }
}
{
  type: 'tool-result',
  toolCallId: 'call_b0DkOmitAwd93Mt4xXd6u1gH',
  toolName: 'searchWeb',
  args: { query: 'What is the capital of France?' },
  result: {
    answer: 'The capital of France is Paris.',
    sources: [

      },

      }
    ]
  }
}

{
  type: 'tool-call',
  toolCallId: 'call_4jKKKQAlZwguD1glEhCPAbDI',
  toolName: 'searchWeb',

}

and just keeps going in a loop, seemingly with no end to it

Note: I am only using streamText, not using other parts of ai sdk.

I downgraded several versions. Looks like the same issue exists in every version.

[punkpeye]

Yeah, it is a bug #3944

[nicoalbanese]

Closing as discussion happening on the issue.

#3944 should be re-opened? I commented in that issue but this definitely feels like an anti-pattern/bug.
