Thank you for replying back.

please @rokbenko . Actually I am working on client pilot, I can’t implement this feature. its a tight deadline. kindly Fix it as soon as possible. I’m waiting for the fix.

**I have tried with relative path also. My pdf is exist in knowledge directory only.**

I’m using the crewai flow. The folder structure is

Knowledge folder is available inside its respective crews.  
Internally, By default the head directory of the pdf file pointing to “Knowledge” folder. This throwing an file not found error.

`FileNotFoundError: File not found: knowledge/src/javadesigndocgen/crews/internaldesigndoc/knowledge/crewai_Knowledge_Sequence_Diagram.pdf`

please resolve this issue. I really surprised how this error not caught during testing.

**Possible solution:**

````
For the crewai flow, there should be a common knowledge folder commonly for all the crews, should locate outside.

@rokbenko@tonykipkemboi this error is occurs only in crewai flow. In normal crewai run, the embedder is working fine. please look into this watsonx embedder issue.

Is there any update on this? I’m also facing the issue while using Anthropic API for the crew
