stability-sdk client writes long-named empty files instead of PNG output

TL;DR: if client.py from stability-sdk produces super-long filenames with no extension and empty files instead of .json and .png, your installed package is behind the fix. Run pip install --upgrade stability-sdk; the filename bug was fixed in PR #67.

Steps

1. Upgrade the package:

pip install --upgrade stability-sdk

Expected: installed version includes the PR #67 fix.

2. Re-run client.py.

   Expected: outputs land as proper .json and .png files with normal names. Success check: the PNGs open and have non-zero size.

When to use this

• client.py writes long-named extensionless empty files instead of PNG/JSON output.
• The pip-installed version is older than the PR #67 fix.

When NOT to use this

• The API itself errors or returns empty results; check your key and request first.
• You already run the latest package and still see it; file a fresh issue.

Compatibility

• stability-sdk pip package, versions before the PR #67 fix. Showed up most on Windows, where the long generated names caused the most trouble.

Variant phrasings

• "stability-sdk client.py empty files"
• "stability sdk long filename no extension"

Root cause

A filename handling bug in the older package generated over-long artifact names that the filesystem could not write properly. PR #67 fixed the naming.

Edge cases

• One user worked around it by shortening the artifact filename in client.py, but upgrading is the real fix; do not patch the script.

The thread asked: Running client.py produced super-long filenames with no extension and empty files instead of the expected .json and .png outputs. Maintainer chigozienri suspected filename length handling. The actual resolution came from a user: the version installed from pip was not the latest, and the bug had already been fixed in PR #67. Updating to the current package version resolved it.

The verified answer: If client.py writes long-named empty files instead of PNGs, your installed package is behind the fix. The bug was fixed in PR #67, so pip install --upgrade stability-sdk to get the current version. One user also noted a quick workaround of shortening the artifact filename in client.py, but upgrading is the real fix. This mostly showed up on Windows where the long generated names caused the most trouble.
