The problem

When using Google Gnerative AI, it appears to be attempting to request an analysis before Google has finished processing the file. This results in the below error.

Error: Error generating content: 400 FAILED_PRECONDITION. {'error': {'code': 400, 'message': 'The File 5y6l7yja98jc is not in an ACTIVE state and usage is not allowed.', 'status': 'FAILED_PRECONDITION'}}

Their response is to wait a couple of seconds then try again. Is it possible to create a loop that checks every couple of seconds if the file is not yet processed?
