Problem:
The generate_file function in the utils.py module had a bug where the file streams were not managed properly, causing an "I/O operation on closed file" error when attempting to upload files. This error obstructed the functionality of uploading and processing files through the application.
Changes Made:
Implemented the use of context managers (with statement) to ensure that file streams are properly opened and closed, preventing any premature closure that could lead to the mentioned error.
Adjusted the handling of file streams to keep the file open during the operation and ensure it is only closed after the operation completes.
Added additional error handling to manage scenarios where files might not be accessible or present.
Benefits:
Ensures that the file handling process is robust and error-free.
Prevents common file handling errors that could disrupt user operations, enhancing the reliability of the file upload feature.
Improves the stability of the application by ensuring resources are managed and released properly.
Tests Conducted:
Manually tested with various file sizes and formats to ensure that files are handled correctly without causing any errors.
Verified that the changes did not negatively impact other functionalities of the application.
Additional Notes:
These changes are crucial for the operations where file interaction is frequent and critical to the application's functionality.
Future recommendations include implementing automated tests to cover file handling scenarios.
