Describe your issue.

I've instructed autogpt to execute the file pizza.py. The code generates an image of a pizza as a .png file in the auto_gpt_workspace directory.

Autogpt can create and execute the code without error, and additionally it prints a message at the end of the file, indicating it worked it's way through the code. However, this code specifically generates a .png image which is nowhere to be found after it runs the code. When I manually run the code with python3 pizza.py, it successfully generates the image of the pizza in the auto_gpt_workspace folder. I think this issue has something to do with the docker container, as I am using docker-compose, but I am unsure.

Anybody know how to resolve this issue?

have you tried explicitly setting the current working directory to the workspace ? Keep in mind that due to security considerations, python will be executed in a sandboxed environment - only executing python via shell command will circumvent this measure

Further suggestions to help debug the issue:

• Try running with the flag --debug and review the logs in the /logs directory.
• Check the file_logger.txt in the workspace directory for any potential errors.
• Consider adding additional debug hooks into the pizza.py file.

Based on the provided information, it seems that the issue you're facing is likely due to running Auto-GPT outside a containerized environment, such as Docker. The documentation clearly states that executing Python scripts is disabled in non-container environments to maintain system and data security. https://docs.agpt.co/ home page gives us this info

To address this problem, you have a couple of options:

Modify the pizza.py code so that it generates the image without relying on executing Python scripts or writing files in the auto_gpt_workspace folder.

Run Auto-GPT within a containerized environment, like Docker, where the necessary permissions are granted to write files in the specified folder.

If that's the case, the OP could also directly execute python via the shell

Yes I am running inside a Docker container. When I run my script directly with a /bin/bash inside the docker container it outputs the .png file. The issue is when autogpt itself runs the script.

Adapt the script to output hostname + cwd during startup to see what's going on
