Ignite: TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument 'logdir'

[UltraSpecialException]

from ignite.contrib.handlers.tensorboard_logger import TensorboardLogger
tb = TensorboardLogger(log_dir=None)

gives the following error:

self.file_writer = FileWriter(logdir=log_dir, **kwargs)

TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument 'logdir'

This also happens when I run

from tensorboardX import SummaryWriter
sw = SummaryWriter(log_dir=None)

self.file_writer = FileWriter(logdir=log_dir, **kwargs)

TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument 'logdir'

However, when I do don't put in logdir=log_dir, and simply pass in log_dir, it works fine.

I was looking to see if there's any conflicting reference with self or anything like that, but it doesn't seem like that's the problem, since all the self's seem to be in place, so I'm not sure.

Any ideas?

ignite version: 1.1.0
tensorboard version: 1.13.1
tensorboardX version: 1.6

[vfdev-5]

Could you please detail ignite and tensorboard versions you have?

[UltraSpecialException]

Please check out my updated question. I've included the versions.

[vfdev-5]

@UltraSpecialException unfortunately, ignite latest pypi/conda version is still 0.2.0. So I suppose you mean pytorch 1.1.0. My question is whether you installed ignite from master or the latest release?

[UltraSpecialException]

@vfdev-5 My bad, I was looking at another ignite, my pytorch-ignite is indeed 0.2.0. I installed through master.

Please, check your dependencies or tell me if I'm missing something.

EDIT: I see you installed pytorch-ignite from master. Thanks for reporting!

[UltraSpecialException]

I think the problem is in self.writer = SummaryWriter(logdir=log_dir) in tensorboard_logger.py (line 408 in the class TensorboardLogger). logdir should be log_dir(since the class SummaryWriter has parameter log_dir, not logdir).

[vfdev-5]

@UltraSpecialException it depends on the version of installed tensorboardX. In 1.6 it is log_dir and since 1.7 it is logdir.

[vfdev-5]

I think we need handle both version for instance until 0.3.0. So we need to intercept the exception

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/conda/envs/test/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ignite/contrib/handlers/tensorboard_logger.py", line 408, in __init__
    self.writer = SummaryWriter(logdir=log_dir)
  File "/opt/conda/envs/test/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorboardX/writer.py", line 279, in __init__
    self.file_writer = FileWriter(logdir=log_dir, **kwargs)
TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument 'logdir'

and raise a warning saying to update to tensorboardX==1.7 and setup self.writer with another argument.

I had the same problem. This fixed the issue for me:.

pip uninstall pytorch-ignite
pip uninstall tensorboardX
pip install pytorch-ignite==0.2.0
pip install tensorboardX==1.6
