🕒 14:25–15:35
🏷️ Labels: Promptflow, Debugging, CLI, YAML, API
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal:
The session aimed to debug and enhance the connection management system of PromptFlow, focusing on resolving API key issues and understanding the CLI architecture.
Key Activities:
- Conducted battle tests and forensic debugging to identify and resolve connection issues related to Azure OpenAI API keys.
- Developed a structured debugging plan to address connection failures by setting up authentication using environment variables and YAML configuration.
- Explored PromptFlow’s connection management system, emphasizing the importance of case sensitivity and the exact match of internal class names in YAML files.
- Reverse-engineered the CLI connection lifecycle to ensure pre-resolved environment variables are correctly applied.
- Compared the Azure-flavored CLI (
pfazure) with the local PromptFlow CLI (fp) to highlight schema validation and configuration differences.
Achievements:
- Successfully identified and resolved ‘Load entity error’ by providing API keys inline in YAML and securing environment variables.
- Gained a comprehensive understanding of PromptFlow’s CLI architecture and connection management system.
Pending Tasks:
- Further exploration of alternative artistic styles and illustration techniques for potential future projects.
