Local variable 'elapsed time' referenced before assignment.

[rolanddu]

When I attempt to to use EcoAssist_GUI.py using the provided training data, I receive this error. I am running on Windows 11 install under Anaconda, but I also receive the same error running in Linux Mint.

ERROR: local variable 'elapsed_time' referenced before assignment

DETAILS: Traceback (most recent call last): File "EcoAssist_GUI.py", line 1052, in start_deploy deploy_model(var_choose_folder.get(), additional_img_options, data_type = "img") File "EcoAssist_GUI.py", line 912, in deploy_model progress_stats['text'] = create_md_progress_lbl(elapsed_time = elapsed_time, UnboundLocalError: local variable 'elapsed_time' referenced before assignment.

Thanks, Roland

This error means that there is some unexpected output coming from the model file. Do you get this error when verifying your installation using the default MegaDetector 5a on the test images described here? If so, then possibly something is wrong with your model file. Sometimes protection software prevent the download of the actual model files. Could you check if there are two files named md_v5a.0.0.pt and md_v5b.0.0.pt in \EcoAssist_files\pretrained_models\? You can find the location of the EcoAssist_files here.

Yes, I am using the defaults in the GUI, as described in the directions for testing, and the model files are fully downloaded. They are each 274.187 kilobytes in size. There are 5 test images in the test folder.

Thanks for your help. Roland

Hmm. There must be something else wrong. The log file should point us in the right direction. Could you please:

• Recreate the error in EcoAssist.
• Close all EcoAssist windows by clicking the cross at the top - do not quit the program as a whole. On Mac and Linux close the terminal window last.
• Open EcoAssist_files\EcoAssist\logfiles\session_log.txt (Windows) or .EcoAssist_files/EcoAssist/logfiles/stdout.txt (Mac and Linux).
• Copy everything after the line EXECUTED: start_deploy({}) and paste it here.

Right. It seems like the virtual environment somehow was not created.

I updated the code for Windows to proceed to a manual installation if the automatic one fails.

Could you try the Windows installation again to see if that fixes the issue?

The new install ends abruptly:

This error has to do with a check to see if conda is correctly installed. Apparently it crashes on devices which have GPU acceleration...

I've adjusted the install script to avoid all issues regarding the automatic installs of git and conda and their checks (these bugs were giving me a headache). However, that means that users will have to install git and anaconda prior to installing EcoAssist. I've updated the documentation. Hope this resolves your issues. If so, please close this issue as solved.

[rolanddu]

I am still working on this. I will post more after I finish with this attempt. There seem to be issues with the version of Pillow not including resampling and some other issues. Just being sure I tried all my options. As Anaconda users know, "solving environment" takes hours, so my response time is slow. Thanks for your help.

Well, that is super weird. All of a sudden it can't find it's modules. If your showing me an error message from runtime, I assume that the installation went trough OK?

Can you check if the latest update to the open.bat solves the issue? Instead of you having to install everything again, you can:

• open EcoAssist_files\EcoAssist\open.bat in a text editor like notepad
• remove all content form the file
• copy this content and paste it in
• save and close the file
• restart EcoAssist and try again

[rolanddu]

Yes, it appears the install worked. I followed you above steps with similar result:

[PetervanLunteren]

Can you send me all the .txt files in EcoAssist_files\EcoAssist\logfiles via email?

[rolanddu]

Completely removing Anaconda and Python from my Windows 11 and then reinstalling the latest Anaconda fixed the problem.
