user files not saved as artifact when using ADK web

[joseph-cavard]

When using the command adk web to test my agent, I face the following issues:

When documents are added to the chat, they are not saved as artifacts.
It is impossible to run using adk web and your customer runner and/or modify RunConfig() when using ADK web.
From what I have seen, it seems to be something with the RunConfig() default parameters, especially the save_input_blobs_as_artifacts parameter that is by default set at False. Therefore, in the Runner._append_new_message_to_session, the documents are never stored in an artifact.

I tested it by modifying the google.adk.runners.py file's if condition at line 306 and removing the save_input_blobs_as_artifacts, and it works just fine.

My idea for a solution would be to accept or detect a runner initialized in the agent file in the adk web command to directly use the user-chosen parameter for the test using the UI.

I think this never worked - save_input_blobs_as_artifacts

It works for me. The docs I upload in the UI are saved as artifacts.

@joseph-cavard It seems to be right, I discover that (in my example ) the issue with artifacts has root cause in LiteLLM that can not handle mimeTypes

May I ask if there's any plan to fix this bug? I have encountered the same issue.
