AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'RunOptions'

I'm a beginner. I'm working with python - TensorFlow '2.2.0' on python IDLE. 

run_opts = tf.RunOptions(report_tensor_allocations_upon_oom = True)

I got the following error while running the previous code.:

AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'RunOptions'"

however, according to example 18 from this link on the official page on Tensorflow, there's no error!

what's wrong in my case? How should I resolve this issue?

Solution

  • This is a compatibility issue between tensorflow 1.x and tensorflow 2.x. In other words, the syntax that you wrote works fine with tensorflow 1.x. But as you mentioned, you're using tensorflow 2.2 which is incompatible.

    So, you have can solve this issue by either one of the following two options:

    • Uninstall tensorflow 2.2 and install tensorflow 1.15 which will save you a lot of the headache knowing that the link that you've posted is using tensorflow 1.13.1 as mentioned in the README file.

    • Or you can use tf.compat.v1.RunOptions instead of just tf.RunOptions.
