Session Goal

The primary objective of this session was to address and resolve various programming issues related to path resolution in Python scripts and API connection problems within the PromptFlow framework.

Key Activities

• Path Resolution: Fixed common path resolution issues in Python scripts by using absolute references with Path(__file__).resolve().
• PromptBlock Development: Created a forward-compatible PromptBlock to integrate .prompty templates, enhancing error handling and future-proofing.
• Promptflow Chat API: Resolved role-related formatting errors in .prompty files by updating the prompt syntax.
• OpenAI API Troubleshooting: Addressed connection issues by correcting the API URL and ensuring the model parameter is included in requests.
• YAML Configuration: Fixed a BadRequestError in YAML configurations by properly placing parameters.
• Debugging Techniques: Implemented debugging strategies for OpenAI API payloads and addressed malformed base_url issues.

Achievements

• Successfully resolved multiple path and API configuration issues, enhancing the robustness and reliability of the PromptFlow setup.
• Improved the PromptBlock implementation with better error handling and debugging capabilities.

Pending Tasks

• Further enhancements to the PromptBlock for streaming capabilities.
• Continued evaluation and feedback integration for PromptFlow architecture.
