Root Cause

Even after I enter the container, I cannot find the file because agentbox has already deleted the temporary files in workspace/sandboxes. I asked the LLM about the absolute path of the PPT file, but each time it gives me a different answer. I suspect this is because each time the agent creates a new temporary working directory, so the directory it checks varies each time.

Steps to reproduce

I used Dify's built-in PPTX skill to successfully generate a PPT document, and it indicated that the file was saved at: output/docker_deployment_readme.pptx. However, I cannot download it and need to enter the agentbox container.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Dify should provide a download link for the PPT document.

❌ Actual Behavior

No response

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by configuring Dify to retain temporary files in the workspace/sandboxes directory or providing a stable download link for generated files.

Guidance

  • Investigate the agentbox container's configuration to determine why temporary files are being deleted from the workspace/sandboxes directory.
  • Consider modifying the Dify setup to provide a persistent storage location for generated files, allowing for reliable download links.
  • Verify that the LLM's responses regarding the absolute path of the PPT file are consistent and accurate, potentially by checking the container's logging or file system.
  • Check the Dify documentation for any existing options or workarounds for retaining temporary files or providing download links for generated content.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient technical details to generate a specific example.

Notes

The root cause of the issue appears to be related to the temporary file handling in the agentbox container and the inconsistent responses from the LLM. Resolving this issue may require modifications to the container configuration, Dify setup, or LLM integration.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by configuring Dify to retain temporary files or provide a stable download link, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned in the issue. This approach allows for a potential resolution without relying on an unspecified version update.
