Hi - ive run modal examples for a while and no issues at all. Pulled your latest release and running into issues with all builds
Heres the flux kontext one - ive tried setting utf8 on windows but same issue Building image im-EobGo4CgzytwRFgWvV1B5B Terminating task due to error: error unescaping string: UnrecognizedEscape: unrecognized escape sequence Runner failed with exit code: -1 Stopping app - uncaught exception raised locally: RemoteError('Image build for im-EobGo4CgzytwRFgWvV1B5B failed. See build logs for more details.').
AI is suggesting theres an issue with the quotes in the image_image.py. Ive tried running redoing the script but still same issue.
Im guessing its the emojis - tried a few script rewrites with the AI overlords but same issues .
Running on lastest modal version on windows 10
Thanks

Dragoy1y agoI also encountered this problem. Is there any solution to enable native Windows support? So that I don't have to use WSL?
aidivas1y agoHey i think if modal remove the emojis in the code it mayvwork on windows. Was using modal on windows vs code no issues before they added emojis. Also strip out any other random spaces and characters.
Ps modal can you add back web endpoints on deployment?? Its a lot of code rewriting and resting to add them in your latest examples thx
skfrost191y agoi have added gradio UI in the flux kontext, take a look https://github.com/skfrost19/modal-recipes/blob/master/flux_kontext_gradio.py

It's some kind of mystery, I keep getting this error when I try to run it on Windows
Dragoy1y agoupd. only works in WSL
skfrost191y agoYup, tried everything but never worked on windows...
victor-numair10mo agoTo fix this error in Windows 11, I did the following. I recommend updating the documentation at https://modal.com/docs/examples/image_to_image for the community
Problem: Using Path as dictionary key in volumes
Building image im-...
Terminating task due to error: error unescaping string: UnrecognizedEscape: unrecognized escape sequence
Runner failed with exit code: -1
Stopping app - uncaught exception raised locally: RemoteError('Image build for im-... failed. See build logs for more details.').
╭─ Error ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ Image build for im-... failed. See build logs for more details.The main issue was here:
❌ PROBLEMATIC (caused escape sequence error)
CACHE_DIR = Path("/cache") volumes = {CACHE_DIR: cache_volume} # Path as dictionary key
Why this caused an error:
- Modal serializes the image definition (including volumes) to send to the server.
- When serializing a Path as a dictionary key, Modal converts it to a string.
- On Windows, Path("/cache") can generate strings with backslashes or characters that Modal's parser interprets as invalid escape sequences.
- This generated: error unescaping string: UnrecognizedEscape: unrecognized escape sequence
Solution:
✅ CORRECT
CACHE_DIR = "/cache" # Simple string volumes = {CACHE_DIR: cache_volume} # String as key
closing as er deployed on linux instead!
