Add image examples using Gradio "API mode"
Hi!I am playing with anAppthat loads a model from the Hugging Face hub, but I find problems when I add some image examples to the app during the building. I tried uploading the images to the repository and downloading them from another place, but the error continued.Is there some behaviour to process image example when using Gradio inAPI modethat can trigger the error?Best,Cristóbal--2022-08-02 22:11:04--  https://huggingface.co/alkzar90/croupier-creature-classifier/resolve/main/examples/crusader_peco_peco.png

Hi@alkzar90,Can you please try with cache_examples=False?I think this is the same problem as this issue (https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/issues/1643). Good news is that I’m planning on fixing the underlying issue by the end of the week!

Also, you can store the example images in the repo with git as opposed to pulling them in the app file.

Hi@freddyaboulton,it works withcache_examples=False, thanks for the suggestion!Now I will move the images into the repo instead of downloading them from the app file, it was. a desperate move trying to fix the problem hahaha,Best!
