I am trying to use autotrain’s image classification but everytime I upload the data and it processes it, it throws a 500 error and this in the logs - I am using the file format mentioned in the docs here [Image Classification](https://huggingface.co/docs/autotrain/main/en/image_classification)

I also see this in the console -  
Error: 500   
Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

I’m thinking it’s because of the column mapping? It’s expecting {“image”: “image”, “label”: “label”} which is different to what the docs say which is just to use a zipped folder containing the classes that then contain the images?

I just ran a training and it seems to be working as expected:

When the zip is unzipped, it must produce all subfolders with different classes, not one folder. please also add logs so we know whats happening 🙂
