Assistants API v2 using code interpreter can't find uploaded files

API Bugs
1

Since yesterday I’m trying to use uploaded files via code interpreter, but can’t get it to work with assistants API v2.

I adhere to the docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/messages

with open(tmp_file_path, "rb") as file:
                    uploaded_file = client.files.create(file=file, purpose="assistants")
                    attachments.append(
                        {
                            "file_id": uploaded_file.id,
                            "tools": [{"type": "code_interpreter"}],
                        }
                    )

attachments is later added to the assistants message.

The file is shown as successfully uploaded in the UI:

The assistant can correctly use tools like duckduckgo, custom tools, and I can download files created via code interpreter.

But when I upload a file and ask something about it, I always receive something along these lines as an answer: I can't find the file with this path

Is anybody else able to upload files to code interpreter using the v2 api?

OS: Ubuntu
OpenAI python SDK version: openai-1.30.4

Known bug for weeks now. Still waiting for an update on when it will be fixed.

thank you for the answer!

Just so that I won’t open a ticket again for known stuff, could you let me know where you know this from?

I was actually checking this forum, github issues as well as discord but couldn’t find this exact bug.

I’ve had email discussions back and forth with one of the engineers, so I know they’re on it, I just figure it’s a lot more complicated to fix than they originally thought.

You can check my posts, I’ve been asking about it for weeks now, so there are a couple of them.
