Huggingface InferenceAPI stopped working after 0.9.0.13 due to name parameter not being set

[ppietikainen]

python3 -m garak --model_type huggingface.InferenceAPI --model_name microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct --probes malwaregen.Evasion

stopped working after 0.9.0.13 (it just gets stuck). Logging https requests and digging into the code:

send: b'POST /models/ HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: api-inference.huggingface.co\r\nUser-A
gent: python-requests/2.32.3\r\nAccept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, zstd\r\nAccept
: /\r\nConnection: keep-alive\r\nAuthorization: Bearer ...

when it had the model name in the URI before.

class InferenceAPI(Generator):
...
self.uri = self.URI + name

If I change name to config_root.plugins.model_name it works like before, but maybe not the correct fix? I'm having a hard time figuring out the call chain (_plugins.py through klass() without name being passed, apparently). 0.9.0.13 inherited from HFCompatible, which seems to do some magic in this area.

Thank you! Will take a look
