tabpy_client.rest.ResponseError: (500) error adding endpoint "FileNotFoundError

[kabelak]

This occurs when using setting the client to an external webserver. When using localhost, it works fine. Sample code:

import tabpy_client

client = tabpy_client.Client('http://tabpy.xxx.com:9004/')

def add(x,y):
    import numpy as np
    return np.add(x, y).tolist()

client.deploy('add', add, 'adds two numbers')

Looking at your traceback I'm going to guess that the issue is that the server is mangling Windows and Linux path extensions, hence why it is working on your PC but not on the Linux AWS instance you have

Hi @kabelak, I believe the error you are seeing is related to TabPy only supporting deployment of functions on localhost as noted in the issue below. This is a capability that we are aware has been requested from users. As things stand now, you should be able to deploy the function locally on the webserver using your code sample.

Hi @nmannheimer , Is the deployment of function to the external server still not supported or now this functionality is supported? Like if we have tabpy server hosted on an aks server, or we are trying to do container deployment of the tabpy...

Does anyone knows any way around this? I still can't deploy python functions to a remote server. Any kind of insights will be appreciated.
