[Bug]: Workflow 'twoagents' is not among the defined enum values.

[TheAmazingRoderic]

Describe the bug

Autogenstudio v0.1.2 allows the upload of an older workflow that defines workflowtype as twoagents. This breaks the app's ability to retrieve existing workflows, displaying

"No workflows found. Please create a new workflow."

caused by

"ERROR | autogenstudio.database.dbmanager:get_items:128 - Error while getting items: Workflow 'twoagents' is not among the defined enum values. Enum name: workflowtype. Possible values: autonomous, sequential"

Additionally, deleting the workflow via the api fails with

{
"message": "Error while deleting: 'twoagents' is not among the defined enum values. Enum name: workflowtype. Possible values: autonomous, sequential",
"status": false,
"data": null
}

Steps to reproduce

1 - Download workflow from AutogenStudio 0.0.56rc9
2 - Upload workflow into AutogenStudio v0.1.2 via the UI
3 - System no longer displays any workflows

4 - Attempt to remove offending workflow fails due to invalid workflowtype

Model Used

gpt-4

Expected Behavior

Validation of workflowtype upon upload

Screenshots and logs

Hi @TheAmazingRoderic ,

This error is due to an update in the db schema with v 0.1.0 +.
You can correct this by either deleting your current db, or running autogenstudio and pointing it to a new app folder

autogenstudio ui --appdir /path/to/folder

This will create a new db in the /path/to/folder using the right schema.

See docs FAQ on how to specify directory https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/docs/autogen-studio/faqs#q-how-do-i-specify-the-directory-where-fileseg-database-are-stored

Thank you @victordibia, I was able to repair the database. I reported because I believe it is a bug not to have the same validation/constraint of the schema applied on upload/insert into the database to prevent the situation.

I do see the TBD in the typescript:

autogen/samples/apps/autogen-studio/frontend/src/components/views/builder/workflow.tsx

Line 287 in d00467c

// TBD validate that it is a valid workflow

And the commented code used previously:

autogen/samples/apps/autogen-studio/frontend/src/components/views/builder/workflow.tsx

Line 300 in d00467c

const workflowTypes: MenuProps["items"] = [

It seems it would be nice to catch this in back at the the DBManager.upcert

I have created new db with --appdir instruction, and it allowed me to create one Workflow, but could assign only two agents (proxy and assistant). After that, ALL workflows gone.

Hi @RafalSebastian ,

Work is being done to improve migration of data across versions, but not yet supported so workflows from previous versions will not be compatible with v 0.1.0 +.

With respect to multiple agents, the way to do that is to.

• Under agents, create a new agent, select group chat, click create. Once this is created, you should see an agents tab. This should then let you add agents to the group chat. Finally, add a model to your group chat.
• Under workflow, select your user proxy as sender and then your group chat agent as receiver.

[RafalSebastian]

Thank you Victor for the update. I do not worry much about the issues with migration of data across versions. The problem is I can't define any agent.

same for WIN and LINUX
I will carry experiments on previous versions until this issue is fixed. I do strongly regret that I can't contributre much but I truly appreciate everyones effort to make this project better.

Any chance you can share the command line log that shows up when this error occurs? This will be helpful in debugging the issuel.
Eitherway, I'd recommend a fresh conda environment just to ensure there are no conflicts (e.g., version conflicts) and specify a new appdir (ensure the right version of the db is created).

[RafalSebastian]

Victor, the issue appears when trying to upload the previous version workflow json to the latest version of AutoGenStudio. As you said, it won't work and now I know why. Additionally it helped to create fresh conda env and new appdir (which wasn't necessary for clean installation).
New ui logic is far more better and "logical".
Thank you for your support Victor, very much appreciated.
