File upload failing

[babasahebpinjar]

I have installed langflow locally and running it via make backend and make frontend.

I created a new vector rag flow and when I am trying to upload a file, I am getting file upload error

Error Building Component
Error building Component File: File or directory not found: ~/.langflow/e1540ece-e56d-482b-9c73-cb26ecff29db/2025-01-31_02-38-09_test.pdf

Hey @babasahebpinjar! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have for langflow. Let's get this sorted out!

I found a similar unsolved discussion titled Can't run langflow ^[1]. However, it might not directly address your issue with file uploads.

Regarding your file upload error, "File or directory not found," this could be related to how Langflow constructs and manages file paths. Langflow stores uploaded files in a cache directory, and the file path is constructed using a hash of the file content as the file name ^[2]. Ensure that the directory ~/.langflow/e1540ece-e56d-482b-9c73-cb26ecff29db/ exists and has the correct permissions for file writing.

Additionally, check if the LANGFLOW_CONFIG_DIR environment variable is set correctly, as it defines the default file storage paths ^[3]. If the directory does not exist, you might need to create it manually or adjust the configuration settings to point to a valid directory.
