AttributeError in Gradio Web Server: 'list' object has no attribute 'text_models'

[tsunghan-wu]

Description:

I followed the instructions to run the WebGUI service in single-model mode by launching the controller, model workers, and Gradio web server. However, when I opened the website, the Gradio web server triggered an error, and the website failed to render correctly.

Potential Issue:

In the load_demo function, we're passing a list as the first argument to load_demo_single(models, url_params). However, it appears that this argument should be a Context object, not a list. The error occurs because the list object doesn't have the text_models attribute, which causes the AttributeError.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Follow the instructions to install the package and run the WebGUI service in single-model mode.
2. Launch the controller, model workers, and Gradio web server.
3. Open the website and observe the error.
