Error when using file:// URI in asset card yaml

[jgwinnup]

Hi - I'm evaluating seamless-m4t and am trying to load a model checkpoint locally. When I specify a file:// URI I get the following error:

fairseq2.assets.card.AssetCardError: The value of the field 'checkpoint' of the asset card 'seamlessM4T_large' must be a valid URI, but is 'file:///foo/bar/seamless-m4t-large/multitask_unity_large.pt' instead.

I can work around this by starting up a python http.server and serve the file locally, but it would be nice to have proper file:// URI support.

Hey @jgwinnup, could you please try file://foo/bar/seamless-m4t-large/multitask_unity_large.pt? Note that there are only two slashes after file:. Due to security reasons, our asset cards always expect a full path to be specified. Let me know how that goes. If it does not work, we can investigate it further.

Looks like two slashes fixed the problem. Made a note about full paths, thanks for the help!

can u help me with the path

checkpoint: "Models/seamlessM4T_v2_large.pt"
vocoder_path = "/Models/vocoder_v2.pt"

translator = Translator(
    model_name_or_card=checkpoint,
    vocoder_name_or_card=vocoder_path,
    device=torch.device("cuda:0"),
    dtype=torch.float16,
)

and here is the error
