Error happens on the tutorial page for autotvm on VTA

Troubleshooting
#1

Hi,
Recently I tried tune_relay_vta.py and found an error below.
this also occurs in the tutorial page (“Out” section in the middle of the page).
It seems we could go forward even this occurred. is it ok to just ignore??

>> python3 vta/tutorials/autotvm/tune_relay_vta.py

Hi, I met the same question. Did you solve it ?

#3

I’m not sure it’s completely safe or not but at least succeeded to suppress the error message by the following code.

python/tvm/relay/backend/graph_runtime_codegen.py:88
       for key in param_names:
           key = str(key)  # <= I added 
           arr = self._get_param_by_name(key)
           param = empty(arr.shape, dtype=arr.dtype, ctx=arr.ctx)
           arr.copyto(param)
           params[key] = param

Thank you. I will try it.

#5

Did you solve the problem?I meet the same situation,but it seems not working if I simply add that sentence.@ffffc

#6

After updating to latest verison, it never appears.

#7

Thank you for your help.However,out of some reasons,I need to use some unique modules which are only included in version 0.7.dev1,is there some ways I could suppress the error without update？
