Error in pipeline unittest after setup

[mbehrooz]

I initially encountered Bernoulli and Categorical import errors. I fixed that by doing the solutions in #285. But now I get a new error: (I have tf 1.5.0 rc-1)

======================================================================
ERROR: test_train_infer (seq2seq.test.pipeline_test.PipelineTest)
Tests training and inference scripts.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/morteza/seq2seq/seq2seq/seq2seq/test/pipeline_test.py", line 76, in test_train_infer
_clear_flags()
File "/home/morteza/seq2seq/seq2seq/seq2seq/test/pipeline_test.py", line 44, in _clear_flags
tf.app.flags.FLAGS = tf.app.flags._FlagValues()
AttributeError: module 'tensorflow.python.platform.flags' has no attribute '_FlagValues'

Incase you are still stuck, took me a bit but this finally worked:

# tf.app.flags.FLAGS = tf.app.flags._FlagValues()
attr_names = []
for i in tf.app.flags.FLAGS:
    names.append(i)
for n in attr_names:
    delattr(tf.app.flags.FLAGS, n)

probably this was a mistake?

    attr_names.append(i)

I am also facing this same error while using Tensorflow 1.7. @Johnszhang 's suggestion eliminated the initial error, but now I'm encountering a DuplicateFlagError, which suggests the flags are not actually getting cleared. Any suggestions?

tf.app.flags.FLAGS is defined in (take the codebase of tf v1.5 as example):
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/r1.5/tensorflow/python/platform/flags.py

It's a wrapper for FlagValues which defined in:
https://github.com/abseil/abseil-py/blob/master/absl/flags/_flagvalues.py

After reading the source code, i modified the function body of _clear_flags and the error gone away.
The hacking snippet looks like this:

def _clear_flags():
    """Resets Tensorflow's FLAG values"""
    #pylint: disable=W0212
    for flag_key in dir(tf.app.flags.FLAGS):
        delattr(tf.app.flags.FLAGS, flag_key)
    #tf.app.flags.FLAGS = tf.app.flags._FlagValues()
    tf.app.flags._global_parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()

@cameronrhamilton Hope can help you :)

Thank you @slvher ! I am unfortunately still receiving the following error:
DuplicateFlagError: The flag 'model_params' is defined twice. First from seq2seq.test.train_bin, Second from seq2seq.test.infer_bin. Description from first occurrence: YAML configuration string for the model parameters.
I am investigating to determine how to fix this, but have not made much progress.

I got a problem after i solved the #285 and the AttributeError which @mbehrooz mentioned above
I used the command python -m unittest seq2seq.test.pipeline_test and i got a error below

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\tmpi7s9txub'
       
 [[Node: bleu/value = PyFunc[Tin=[DT_STRING, DT_STRING], Tout=[DT_FLOAT], token="pyfunc_0",
_device="/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0"](bleu/sources/read, bleu/targets/read)]]

I've check the path"C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp" and there is no such file...
Btw im using Anaconda for python3.6 and tensorflow1.8 on window8.1

[neerajks]

Hi any luck resolving the above error ? I am facing the same error on tensorflow 1.8.

[nciefeiniu]

@neerajks I have the same problem，

tensorflow and python version:
1.8.0 v1.8.0-0-g93bc2e2072 /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tensorflow/init.py

OS: ubuntu 16.04

Now ,The problem has been solved
thanks @slvher

I think I have sloved all these error (ImportError, _FlagValues error and _tkinter.TclError) :

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? I am working on windows 10, and I tried with the specified tf+python version above and still get the same error. I appreciate any help
