Severity

I can work around it

[abidlabs]

Ah this is because of the new file policy. We'll need to move the avatar images to the cache as well

[freddyaboulton]

But the demo is setting allowed_paths?

[abidlabs]

Because allowed_paths is relative to the working directory, you have to run the demo from the demo/chatbot_multimodal/ folder for it to work:

And in the deployed Spaces, it doesn't work because there is a single launch() command for the entire collection of demos, which does not set allowed_paths

[abidlabs]

Anyways, a user shouldn't have to do this, the better thing would be to use move_resource_to_block_cache to move the avatar images

[freddyaboulton]

Gotcha. Problem was happening for me locally but I was also not running the demo from the same directory as the image.
