Unsupported `Interpolation Type Error` in Kedro-Viz with OmegaConf

[rashidakanchwala]

Description

The user encounters the following error when running kedro viz:

omegaconf.errors.UnsupportedInterpolationType: Unsupported interpolation type path
    full_key: _path
    object_type=dict

User is defining the below conf

In conf/base/catalog_globals.yml: _path: ${path:}/${run_folder:}/ In conf/base/environ.yml: local:path: data/runs/

and User said

_It works fine with kedro run. We are running kedro run -p --env successfully._

Expected Result

Kedro-viz should run.

Actual Result

Kedro-viz throws the error

Here is the full traceback:

@ankatiyar and @ElenaKhaustova - this issue crops up when the user tries to load the catalog from Kedro Framework using the private method

  File "/Users/Livia_Pimentel/miniconda3/envs/cpib-models-test/lib/python3.10/site-packages/kedro/framework/context/context.py", line 187, in catalog
    return self._get_catalog()

Do you know why this might be the case?

[SajidAlamQB]

Closing as resolved.

@ankatiyar and I spoke with the user, it turns out their hooks were registering some custom resolvers. Kedro-Viz doesn't load hooks natively so the values were not getting filled hence the errors.

Using kedro viz run --include-hooks resolves this issue.

[astrojuanlu]

Any way we could have made this easier to debug @SajidAlamQB @rashidakanchwala ?

[SajidAlamQB]

Any way we could have made this easier to debug?

Their setup was unique so we needed a lot more context for the solution. Jumping on a call gave us that but maybe we could have asked the user for to explain in more detail.

[astrojuanlu]

I see the console output is exactly the same, with or without --include-hooks. Maybe we should add a line that makes it more clear. Like

Running kedro-viz with hooks: mlflow, custom

or

INFO: Running kedro-viz without hooks, if you spot missing functionality try `kedro viz run --include-hooks`

Wdyt @SajidAlamQB ? (would merit opening a new issue)

[ankatiyar]

I was also thinking that adding a hint about using --include-hooks would help here

[SajidAlamQB]

Thanks for the suggestion, @astrojuanlu and @ankatiyar. I agree, I like the idea of adding a hint/message, I’ll open a new issue to track this.
