When Creating Agency Instance: 404 Error - No assistant found with id "xxx"

[hicknughes]

I have experimented with many different swarms, which created a lot of assistants in my OpenAI account. I decided to start utilizing the 'id' parameter when creating the agents to avoid creating duplicates. To do so, I pulled up a commonly used swarm, added the 'id=' parameter to each Agent in the swarm. I also manually deleted all the agents from my previous swarms within the OpenAI Assistants interface.

I next tried to run my swarm Colab notebook and whether the Agents were created with an 'id' tag or not, I always encounter a 404 error as follows:

Thanks @hicknughes, should be fixed now. Added test as well.

I seem to still be getting the same error. It happens after I manually delete (in OpenAI) the assistants belonging to the current swarm being ran. After deletion, I re-run the script to create the agency and get the error:

was this issue ever resolved @hicknughes @VRSEN ? i cant even run examples without getting the error "openai.NotFoundError: Error code: 404 - {'error': {'message': "No assistant found with id 'asst_c4kFrflNHuo1uwhtin67iL4l'.", 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': None, 'code': None}}"

@agrimsingh It all relies on your settings.json file being correct. If you are keeping track of the assistants listed there then you can avoid creating duplicate assistants by ensuring that file is in your working directory every time you create/update an assistant. If you manually delete an agent, then you have to delete that agent from the settings.json, or at least thats what I would do. Hope that helps
