Getting NotImplementedError when trying to send a file to a generic worker

🚀 Support (Q&A)

I am trying to send an uploaded file to the worker, but I keep getting the following error:

2023-04-28 08:59:53.969 ERROR : Exception is raised
Traceback (most recent call last):

NotImplementedError

The code is:

def displacement_plot(self, params, **kwargs):
        building = params.building
        print(building)
        # Generate the input file(s)
        files = [
            ('building.txt', building)
            #('input2.txt', file2)
        ]

        # Run the analysis and obtain the output file.
        generic_analysis = GenericAnalysis(files=files, executable_key="countdown", output_filenames=["figure.json"])
        generic_analysis.execute(timeout=120)
        output_file = generic_analysis.get_output_file("figure.json")
        figure = plotly.io.read_json(output_file, output_type='Figure', skip_invalid=False, engine=None)
        return PlotlyResult(figure.to_json())

What am I doing wrong? How do you pass a file that has been uploaded to the web app? Thanks

Hi,

As you can see in the documentation here, the files should be of type BytesIO or File. If you check the type of params.building by using

print(params.building)

You will see it is of type FileRessource. To acces the File object for your analysis, you can use

building = params.building.file

kind regards,
Paulien
