ArrayField.empty_field problem with DatasetReader

I followed your instructions and I’m simply trying to get the predictor working with your dataset.

I see an error on initializing from allennlp.data.dataset_readers import DatasetReader

Exception has occurred: TypeError
ArrayField.empty_field: return type `None` is not a `<class 'allennlp.data.fields.field.Field'>`.
  File "/mnt/d/github/public/specter/src/allennlp/allennlp/data/fields/array_field.py", line 50, in ArrayField
    def empty_field(self):  # pylint: disable=no-self-use

Here’s how I am using it. I am launching the predict_command.py with the following arguments (see below). I even tried running from embed.py with the same arguments you showed in the Readme.md and I get the same error which is why I am investigating it this way. It doesn’t even get to reading the arguments and the program has crashed.

pip install overrides==3.1.0

It turns out that there is something wrong with the allennlp installation itself, when i run allennlp on the command line the error shows up. I tried reinstalling the current allennlp version using pip install allennlp but then it shows no module allennlp.run. So i uninstalled allennlp and try reinstalling the requirement with pip and suddenly it works. I dont know how exactly i can replicate the solution but it may give hints to people who are experiencing the same problem.
