Hey Everyone!  
I am having an issue where the custom endpoint I am creating on Hugging Face does not reflect the handler.py file that I have uploaded.

This is my model, and I have put the handler.py in the project root. When I create a new inference endpoint the documentation suggests ( [Create custom Inference Handler](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-endpoints/en/guides/custom_handler) ) that it will be detected and used, but I am not having any success. I am very new to this so any other suggestions are appreciated!

Looks like the container type has to be set to “Default”, not Text Generation. My mistake!
