Tensorboard: AttributeError: module 'tensorboard' has no attribute 'lazy'

[Threynaud]

• Tensorboard version: 1.12.2
• Tensorflow version: tf-nightly-2.0-preview==2.0.0.dev20190216
• OS: MacOS Mojave
• Python version: 3.6.5

Training a simple model with tf.keras in the latest tf-nightly-2.0-preview will result in the following error even without using any Tensorboard callback during training:

Is there a specific tensorboard build to use with the TF2.0 preview?

[nfelt]

At this point only the nightly build of TensorBoard (tb-nightly) is compatible with the TF 2.0 preview, 1.12.2 is not expected to work. If you just install tf-nightly-2.0-preview alone in a fresh virtualenv it should install a compatible tb-nightly.

I also had trouble reproducing this error, with the same setup except High Sierra instead of Mojave which I doubt makes a difference here - I hit an error at AttributeError: module 'tensorflow._api.v2.train' has no attribute 'SessionRunHook' instead. Is it possible you had tb-nightly installed as well as 1.12.2? They both provide the tensorboard package so if both are installed you might be in an indeterminate state.

[Threynaud]

Yes I pip installed tensorboard separately indeed. I didn't see it was installing tb-nightly at the same time!
Thanks for your response!

[nfelt]

Okay, great. I'll go ahead and close this since it sounds like that worked for you.

I've found this issue to also occur with TensorFlow 1.14, and was able to resolve it by installing tb-nightly.

if using pip, somehow the order of tensorflow-tensorboard and tensorboard matter...

pip install tensorflow-tensorboard==1.5.1

then

pip install tensorboard==1.14.0

this will be solved

@lenjoy: The tensorflow-tensorboard distribution is a relic of a
bygone era; there’s no need to install it anymore. As noted on the PyPI page

NOTICE: This PyPI entry has been deprecated in favor of the
tensorboard name found at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tensorboard
for TensorBoard 1.6.0+. Only bugfix updates on 1.5.x will be applied
to this old package name.

To upgrade past the version shown on this page, please ensure that you
_first_ pip uninstall tensorflow-tensorboard and then pip install tensorboard.

@wchargin , got it. thanks! it works!

@wchargin Thanks I was looking for this answer. This thing worked for me.

@wchargin Thanks for this!
