Attempting to test the full backend flow with a sample image (POST /cases/photo/embedding endpoint) to verify the lighter buffalo_s model works correctly.
- Problem: Frontend showed plain white text with no styling
- Root Cause: Tailwind CSS v4+ requires
@tailwindcss/postcsspackage and@import "tailwindcss";syntax instead of@tailwind base/components/utilities; - Fixed: Added
@tailwindcss/postcss,postcss,autoprefixerpackages and updatedpostcss.config.jsandstyles.css
- Problem: Hardcoded
buffalo_lmodel (heavy, ~330MB, slow on CPU) - Fixed: Added
FACE_MODEL_NAMEconfig setting (defaultbuffalo_s) inbackend/config.py, updatedbackend/face/detector.pyto read from config, updated.env.example
- Problem:
test_images/lenna.pngnot being created/found in working directory - Details: Multiple attempts to create test image using Python/PIL resulted in file not found errors
- Working directory:
d:\Projects\Project Ace - Commands tried:
# Multiple attempts to create test image python -c " import numpy as np from PIL import Image import os img = np.zeros((200, 200, 3), dtype=np.uint8) img[60:140, 60:140] = [180, 160, 140] img[80:100, 80:120] = [50, 50, 50] img[120:135, 80:120] = [100, 80, 60] os.makedirs('test_images', exist_ok=True) Image.fromarray(img).save('test_images/lenna.png') print('Created:', os.path.abspath('test_images/lenna.png')) "
- Result: File creation appears to succeed but subsequent checks show
Exists: False
- Script:
test_embedding.pyusesos.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'test_images', 'lenna.png') - Error:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'd:\\Projects\\Project Ace\\test_images\\lenna.png' - Note: The file system walk search shows no
test_imagesdirectory exists in the workspace
- Status: Backend runs successfully on port 8000
- Health check:
GET /healthreturns{"status":"ok"} - Model loading: First request to
/cases/photo/embeddingtriggers model download (~160MB for buffalo_s)
- Backend config updated to use
buffalo_s(lighter model) - All tests pass (24/24)
- Frontend builds successfully with Tailwind
- Test image creation appears to fail silently
- Cannot test embedding endpoint without valid test image
- Verify file system permissions for
test_imagesdirectory creation - Try creating test image with absolute path
- Or use an existing image from the filesystem
- Test the embedding endpoint once image is available
