Error running tensor flow model `TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file'`

I'm trying to install tensorflow Object Detection API. I have followed all the installations steps as of here. However, when I tried running python3 object_detection/builders/model_builder_test.py, I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "object_detection/builders/model_builder_test.py", line 21, in <module>
    from object_detection.builders import model_builder
  File "/Users/stanleynguyen/Documents/Projects/tf-models/research/object_detection/builders/model_builder.py", line 17, in <module>

    options=None, file=DESCRIPTOR),

I also tried deploying my model to Google Cloud ML Engine. However, the job failed outputing this trace:

The replica worker 4 exited with a non-zero status of 1. 
Termination reason: Error.

TypeError: __new__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'file'

Can anyone please help me understand what is happening? Have anyone seen this error before?

Solution

  • Just found out this is due to the version mismatch of one of the dependency which is protobuf, it must be 2.6.0 for it to compile the correct python file to support the model
