response.text quick accessor bug

[mkdemkov]

Description of the bug:

Here is the code snippet that sometimes falls with the ValueError exception despite the fact that I disabled all the safety settings:

genai.configure(api_key=self.api_key)
model = genai.GenerativeModel(
model_name="gemini-pro",
# generation_config=self.generation_config,
safety_settings=self.safety_settings
)

    try:
        response = await model.generate_content_async(self.history)
        print(response.text)

ValueError: The response.text quick accessor only works when the response contains a valid Part, but none was returned. Check the candidate.safety_ratings to see if the response was blocked.

Actual vs expected behavior:

Actual: raises an exception
Expected: some text response like "Sorry, I can't answer your question due to ..."

Any other information you'd like to share?

No response
