Getting user input in UserProxyAgent when running on Azure App Service

[kksantosh]

I am working with AutoGen and have implemented a UserProxy to receive input from the user. When testing locally in VS Code, it works as expected and waits for user input. However, after deploying the code to Azure App Service, it does not wait for user input and instead throws the following error:

"2025-03-13T10:08:38.385105743Z ERROR - Failed to get user input: Failed to get user input: EOF when reading a line."

How are you connecting to your api / what client are you using? Is there any other output in the logs before this?

UserProxy's default user input gets user input from console in the local machine that runs your app. Since you deployed your app to azure app service, this is not running locally anymore.

You will need to figure out how to get your user input other than through console.

yes, i get it, I tried to find out the way but i didn't get any information regarding that, Do you have any idea how we can resolve this issue, any reference, ?

I am not familiar with app service unfortunately. It is more about app service and how you set up your application. You can refer to some samples we have for using user proxy agents through ChainLit and FastAPI.
