Facing AttributeError: module 'openfl.interface.collaborator' has no attribute 'create' error while running Federated_FedProx_PyTorch_MNIST_Tutorial jupyter notebook.

Hi,

While running jupyter notebook AttributeError: module 'openfl.interface.collaborator' has no attribute 'create' from a docker container I am getting error mentioned below:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[9], line 1
----> 1 fx.init('torch_cnn_mnist')

File [~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/openfl/native/native.py:242](http://10.65.47.207:8888/home/openfl/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/openfl/native/native.py#line=241), in init(workspace_template, log_level, log_file, agg_fqdn, col_names)
    240 data_path = 1
    241 for col_name in col_names:
--> 242     collaborator.create(col_name, str(data_path), silent=True)
    243     collaborator.generate_cert_request(col_name, silent=True, skip_package=True)
    244     collaborator.certify(col_name, silent=True)

AttributeError: module 'openfl.interface.collaborator' has no attribute 'create'

To Reproduce issue:

1. Pull code from develop branch
2. ./scripts/build_base_docker_image.sh to build docker image
3. docker run -it --network host openfl
4. jupyter notebook --ip='*' --port=8080 --no-browser
5. Then run Federated_FedProx_PyTorch_MNIST_Tutorial

How can I resolve this issue?

It seems create(...) was removed in this commit: 4abfb0a

Edit: @tanwarsh Can you test your code with #1062?
