Assistance with Setting Up Batch Image Predictions Using Vertex AI

[Igor88]

Hello,
I’ve prepared a CSV file with the image paths and uploaded it to Cloud Storage, but I’m facing issues when trying to trigger batch predictions using Vertex AI.
File type not supported. Select the "Files on Cloud Storage (file list)" option and try again.

I've read tons of guides and tried all known troubleshooting pieces of advise such as

Checked File Format and Extension
Examined Google Cloud Storage Access and verified Permissions
Investigated Cloud Storage Settings
Checked for Errors in CSV File

but nothing works
I have no other ides why it doesn't work

Hi @Igor88, 

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

The error "File type not supported" likely means Vertex AI is not correctly recognizing the input data format, even though you've checked CSV settings, permissions, and other basics. Double-check the "Files on Cloud Storage (file list)" option to ensure proper input configuration.

For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the Vertex AI Batch Prediction Documentation and you can also check this similar stock overflow discussion.
