Error: "tf.summary.FileWriter is not compatible with eager execution. Use tf.contrib.summary instead."

I get the following error when running

python /tapas/experiments/table_retriever_experiment.py \ 
    --do_predict \
    --model_dir=tapas_models \
    --input_file_eval=data/tapas/tf_records/tf_examples/dev.tfrecord \

Maybe I am running it in the wrong way, but what seems to fix this error is to put the line tf.disable_eager_execution() at the beginning of the calc_metrics_utils.py script (but after the import of tensorflow). However, I am not sure if this would destroy some intended functionality.

Thanks for the report, what you suggest works and won't break any functionality, on the contrary! We will update table_retriever_experiment.py to add tf.disable_v2_behavior() at the top of the file which has a similar outcome.
