interactive.py example missing files

[santiontanon]

Hi I just installed ParlAI, and when trying to run the interactive.py example, it is missing the "crawl-300d-2M.vec" data file. Also, the .opt file refer to specific folders such as "/private/home/edinan/ParlAI/data/models/fasttext_cc_vectors/crawl-300d-2M.vec", so, unless I'm doing something wrong, it's not going to run in anyone else's machine.

Hi @santiontanon -- which example did you run? Can you send me the exact command?

[santiontanon]

Sure! This is what I did exactly:

• cloned the repo
• python3 setup.py develop
• cd examples
• python3 interactive.py -mf "models:drqa/squad/model"

(here I had to install packages like torch, image, etc. as I was seeing errors)

So, I basically copied the commands from the README files in the repo. After that I got this error message:

[ warning: overriding opt['model_file'] to /Users/santiontanon/research/ParlAI/data/models/drqa/squad/model (previously: /checkpoint/edinan/20180618/drqa_sweep_re_vs_spacy/tok=re_learningrate=0.003_dropoutemb=0.3_dropoutrnn=0.4/model )]

    raise IOError('No such file: %s' % opt['embedding_file'])
OSError: No such file: /private/home/edinan/ParlAI/data/models/fasttext_cc_vectors/crawl-300d-2M.vec

I downloaded the crawl-300d-2M.vec file separately after I saw the error, but looking at the data/models/drqa/squad/model.opt file, I saw that there are a lot of references to a specific user home folder ("/private/home/edinan"), so, I stopped there.

Hi @santiontanon thanks for pointing out this issue! I just pushed a PR to fix this bug, you can check it out at #1177 . Let me know if you have other questions.

[santiontanon]

Thanks for the quick fix!!!

It moved a bit forward but didn't quite yet work. I modified the config.py file to make it work on my system, but this is what I had to do:

• in config.py I changed line 101 to: if opt.get('embedding_type') != 'random' and opt.get('embedding_type') != None: since for some reason opt['embedding_type'] was None
• But then it goes into the "elif" part of the code, and opt.get('embedding_file') still has a filename referring to /private/home/edinan, so I just manually added a line opt['embedding_file'] = '<the path where I have crawl-300d-2M.vec'. So, I think that path has to be fixed still.

Thanks a lot for the very fast responses! I can make it work now with my little hack, but happy to test again if you do another push, just to see if it works out of the box!

Yep sorry I realized there was a bug and made a fix after I commented here. Try the latest version!

yep! That one worked for me!!! Thanks again!
