I found some relevant information that might help with the issue you're experiencing regarding file URLs in a self-hosted Dify setup.

1. Similar Issues: There is a similar open issue titled "seems that some variables are lost after the Parameter Extraction node" ^[1]. This issue was referenced by other issues related to input variables not being updated correctly ^[2].

2. Potential Causes: The list operator node might return a null value if no array elements meet the specified filter conditions. This could happen if the filter conditions are too restrictive or if the input array does not contain any elements that match the criteria ^[3].

3. Configuration Issues: In a self-hosted environment, incorrect FILES_URL configuration or storage configuration issues could lead to problems with file URL retrieval. Ensure that FILES_URL is configured as an externally accessible address and that the storage directory is properly mounted ^[4].

4. Error Handling: There are error handling mechanisms in place for file URL generation. For example, in the RemoteFileInfoApi class, exceptions are caught and returned as a JSON response with a 400 status code, which can help identify issues during URL processing ^[5].

5. Logging: There is logging available in the codebase that could help identify issues with file URL generation. For instance, errors in downloading files from a URL are logged in the ToolFileManager class ^[6].

You might want to check these configurations and logs to diagnose the issue further.

the remote_url and the url attr of File is not so much clear

I think the remote_url attr is necessary, for example, I use a tool generate an image, use another tool edit or vectorize the image. directly transfer the first tool response url to the second tool is more efficient

10.2没有解决这个问题

[Yifan-Chang-Jerry]

is this problem fixed in 0.11.0?

[laipz8200]

I need to provide an explanation regarding this issue: currently, File.url refers to the remote_url attribute shown in the logs. The url in the logs is a signed, short-lived temporary address, and it currently cannot be referenced within the Workflow.
