Rasa: “No project found with name ‘default’.”

[mirfan899]

Rasa NLU version:
rasa-core==0.11.3
rasa-core-sdk==0.11.3
rasa-nlu==0.13.3

Operating system (windows, osx, ...):
OSX
Content of model configuration file:

pipeline:
- name: "nlp_spacy"
- name: "tokenizer_whitespace"
- name: "ner_crf"
- name: "ner_synonyms"
- name: "intent_featurizer_count_vectors"
- name: "intent_classifier_tensorflow_embedding"
  intent_tokenization_flag: true
  intent_split_symbol: "+"

Can't load the model in rasa_nlu.server, it throws following error.
Issue:

{
    "error": "No project found with name 'default'."
}

model trained with

python -m rasa_nlu.train -c config.yml --fixed_model_name mecosProviderModel --project current --path models/mecosProvider/ --data data/mecos_provider_training.json

Tried to load the model with different configurations:

python -m rasa_nlu.server -c config.yml --path models/mecosProvider/ --pre_load mecosProviderModel --debug
python -m rasa_nlu.server -c config.yml --path models/ --pre_load current --debug
python -m rasa_nlu.server -c config.yml --path models/ --pre_load current/mecosProviderModel --debug

but still got the same problem after even adding the model and project in post request

curl -XPOST localhost:5000/parse -d '{"q":"open settings", "project":"mecosProvider", "model":"mecosProviderModel"}'

got following error

{
    "error": "Unable to initialize persistor"
}

and log says:

[akelad]

Thanks for raising this issue, @amn41 will get back to you about it soon.

[amn41]

@mirfan899 can you confirm the path where your model is stored?

what about if you pass the project and model names as query params?

curl -XPOST 'localhost:5000/parse?project=mecosProvider&model=mecosProviderModel' -d '{"q":"open settings"}'

[mirfan899]

@amn41 following command thows error

curl -XPOST 'localhost:5000/parse?project=mecosProvider&model=mecosProviderModel' -d '{"q":"open settings"}'

error

{
  "error": "No project found with name 'default'."
}

when rasa_nlu.server is run by

python -m rasa_nlu.server --path models/

Path is:

/Users/mirfan/PycharmProjects/mecosProviderMedication/models/mecosProvider/current/mecosProviderModel

[mirfan899]

Tried many combinations of creating the model such as

python -m rasa_nlu.train -c config.yml --fixed_model_name mecosProviderModel --project current --path models/mecosProvider --data data/mecos_provider_training.json
python -m rasa_nlu.train -c config.yml --fixed_model_name mecosProviderModel --project mecosProvider --path models/mecosProvider --data data/mecos_provider_training.json
python -m rasa_nlu.train -c config.yml --fixed_model_name mecosProviderModel --project default --path models/mecosProvider --data data/mecos_provider_training.json
python -m rasa_nlu.train -c config.yml --fixed_model_name mecosProviderModel --project current --path models/--data data/mecos_provider_training.json

But only --project default works. Naming project with other names such as mecosProvider and current does not work at all.

[mirfan899]

What I have found so far is rasa_nlu.server does not read the nested directories in my case

current and default are being used without errors but mecosProvider project throws error.

[amn41]

yes that is correct, rasa nlu won't traverse nested directories, so all of your projects should sit under the /models directory.

[Noarah]

@mirfan899 did you fix it ? i tried alot and still cant send requests via http

[mirfan899]

@Noarah do not use nested directory for model.

[Noarah]

@mirfan899 thanks for reply I will explain more
The model stores in /home/noarah/rasa-demo/models/nlu/current

my path server is python -m rasa_nlu.server --path /home/noarah/rasa-demo/models/

I query with curl -XPOST 'localhost:5000/parse?project=nlu&model=current' -d '{"q":"hey"}'
{
give me error
"error": "No project found with name 'default'."

rasa-core 0.11.1
rasa-nlu 0.13.1

[mirfan899]

okay I got the issue.
use only models directory and store models/current or whatever name is. Do not use models/nlu/current.

[nuronics]

did it work for you even i have the same issue

[mirfan899]

yes

[li0near]

did it work for you even i have the same issue

You have to specify both the project and model names.
E.g., curl "10.47.221.181:5000/parse?q=hello&project=demo&model=nlu_model"

[user-ZJ]

I fix it use "python -m rasa_nlu.server --path models/" to start nlu server
