Additional information

I don't know programming so don't know how to try to fix. I would like to keep using 11d432d if I could.

[flistz]

I had the same problem and it seems to be a fairly new bug. Can't find answers to related questions on google.

try downgrade torchmetrics to torchmetrics==0.11.4

[roxas122]

try downgrade torchmetrics to torchmetrics==0.11.4

it work! thank you so much!

[jmaiap]

Having the same problem. How did you downgrade it?

[michaelNinh]

@jmaiap put torchmetrics==0.11.4 in either requirements.txt or requirements_version.txt. I put it in both so not sure which one fixed it.

[jmaiap]

I'm sorry but i'm a total noob, where are those files located?

[DedrickCheng]

Same problem here, don't know how to fix this issue :(

[DedrickCheng]

I think maybe we should add the line in the code.

[XtheCutter]

Having same problem: ImportError: cannot import name '_compare_version' from 'torchmetrics.utilities.imports' (/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/torchmetrics/utilities/imports.py)

I cant even uderstand where are this files localed:) I added torchmetrics 0.11.4 upgrade but didnt help

[infinitedarkw]

@jmaiap put torchmetrics==0.11.4 in either requirements.txt or requirements_version.txt. I put it in both so not sure which one fixed it.

Where are the requirements.txt or requirements_version.txt located at? I am having the same issue, I need a little guidance on where to edit the file/s? Can someone offer some steps? Most grateful in advance...

[bugbug0102]

for people running on google colab, once clean the runtime and add the torchmetrics==0.11.4 under pip install, then it would be working. !pip install torchmetrics==0.11.4 torch==1.13.1+cu117 torchvision==0.14.1+cu117 torchtext==0.14.1 torchaudio==0.13.1 torchdata==0.5.1 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117

Any thoughts for those of us running it locally (as opposed to on google colab)? I'm getting the same error and I'm trying to run it on my local machine. Thanks in advance!

[daiju12]

@jmaiaptorchmetrics==0.11.4 をrequirements.txtまたはrequirements_version.txtのいずれかに入力します。両方入れたのでどちらで直ったかは分かりません。

requirements.txt またはrequirements_version.txt はどこにありますか? 同じ問題が発生しています。ファイルを編集する場所について少し説明が必要ですか? 誰かがいくつかの手順を提供できますか? よろしくお願いいたします...

私のローカル環境ではファイルはここにありました。 *ドライブレターとインストール先はご自身の環境に読み替えてください。 A:\StableDiffusion\sd.webui\webui\requirements.txt A:\StableDiffusion\sd.webui\webui\requirements_versions.txt

両方のファイルにこれを記述して改善しました。 torchmetrics==0.11.4

Done it But still have this ImportError: cannot import name '_compare_version' from 'torchmetrics.utilities.imports' (/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/torchmetrics/utilities/imports.py)

Add “torchmetrics==0.11.4” in red circle

[nekopunch11]

Add “torchmetrics==0.11.4” in red circle在红色圆圈中添加“火炬度量==0.11.4”

ty,very useful

[CCMonkeyss]

It works, thanks a lot!

[janily]

It works, thanks a lot! How is this problem solved ? I still can't make it work following the method above.

just add this "torchmetrics==0.11.4" to your torch install command.

[burn4science]

If you're working in Docker containers follow this solution to adjust the version of torchmetrics: https://github.com/AbdBarho/stable-diffusion-webui-docker/issues/540#issuecomment-1625697493

[Spawn888]

Not all installers are gonna have that "requierements" folder. Mine doesn't. Upgrading to 0.11.4 does nothing.

[Reibubba]

Same problem - running Windows and erroring out with the Torchmetrics error. For the sake of the terminal Luddite that I am, can anyone provide clean and concise instructions to cure it on Windows please?

@Spawn888 @Reibubba After installing with the bat or sh, open the invokeai folder in terminal or cmd and run source .venv/bin/activate (or in Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate), then pip install torchmetrics==0.11.4. That worked for me.

[SheldonWxy]

It doesn't work in my project. I have tried to add it into requriments.txt with version and without version, or just install by pip with version and without version. All of those doesn't work. What could I do?

[hard-tek]

Is there is fix on Archlinux? mportError: cannot import name '_compare_version' from 'torchmetrics.utilities.imports' (/home/ht/invokeai/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/torchmetrics/utilities/imports.py)

Hi, as my name shows, I'm a total noob. So I tried doing what you said on my local machine and then it says " The module '.venv' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module .venv'"

this is running terminal on the folder itself and also on the install bat file.

Then I just skipped to install torch 0.11.4 and it says it's already installed.

And of course none of this works to fully install invoke. Any further help would be much appreciated.

From that error message it sounds like you're using powershell, which would make sense as I think terminal in windows defaults to using powershell.

In that case you should try .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 rather than .venv\Scripts\activate. Then you should be able to run pip install torchmetrics==0.11.4.

Also make sure you're inside the invokeai folder when you do this. You can get there with cd "path" where path is the path to the invokeai folder. For example, if your username is John, and invokeai is located in your user directory, you'd use cd "C:\Users\John\invokeai".

If .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 gives you trouble just try using command prompt instead and go with .venv\Scripts\activate.

Hope this helps.

Had this problem trying to install/run it locally. Just had to run updates.bat then run.bat a second time and it fixed it.

[Noobdaddy626]

can anyone please help me. I have no idea what any of this means? where do I input that code. speak to me like a child .

[Spawn888]

For the people having trouble. I was in the same boat nothing I did solved anything. I just went ahead and followed the one click install video on youtube by aiimages and it works. Just make sure you use a third party unzip tool when extracting the files.

Solved upgrading libs (DedrickCheng comment), than updating webui from GIT

pip install -q torch==2.0.0+cu118 torchmetrics==0.11.4 torchvision==0.15.1+cu118 torchaudio==2.0.1+cu118 torchtext==0.15.1 torchdata==0.6.0 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118 -U

pip install -q xformers==0.0.19 triton==2.0.0 -U

try downgrade torchmetrics to torchmetrics==0.11.4

I don't know how to downgrade, none of this means anything, people say "pip install torchmetrics==0.11.4" but, where? Any folder on my PC, the rout webui for stable diffusion. Someone said uninstall torchmetrics, but how? I've tried the pip install in the venv folder and I've tried in the rout webui folder but, I'm still getting this same error. I've even tried a clean install of the aug 1st install for SD but I'm still getting the same issue. I've deleted the venv folder and I get the same issue. Actually I've had several issues that may as well be written in Cantonese for all I understand them. I never used a PC until a couple of years ago. I've always used Macs so this is all just blahdiblah to me. Please help. I am royally regretting updating my SD yesterday morning. How do you know if you're going to be downloading a whole heap of trouble? Thanks.

[indusguys]

try downgrade torchmetrics to torchmetrics==0.11.4

it work! thank you so much!

How do you downgrade tormetrics, I've tried: pip install torchmetrics==0.11.4 but, where do you put it? In venv in the webui rout folder? Where do you put it?

ImportError: cannot import name '_compare_version' from 'torchmetrics.utilities.imports’ I modify the source code of rich_progress.py and fix this error: In the venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytorch_lightning/callbacks/progress/richprogress.py delete the '' of '_compare_version':

hey what if I simply don't have "compare_version" lines in rich_progress.py?

I very much want to +1 this. Removing the "_" in the instances on lines 20 and 26 fixed this error for me after a fresh download via the deployment package.

Edit: Actually, that only fixed half the issue. I now have another issue saying it can't add middleware, which seems to come from application.py on line 139? I'm not sure why that's returning as None, though, raising the exception. It should in theory be being set on line 121...
