[Bug] events.out.tfevents is not generated when using --restore_path flag in python TTS/TTS/bin/train_tacotron.py

Describe the bug Each training run is supposed to generate events.out.tfevents for tensorboard but when I am using --restore_path it doesn’t generate events.out.tfeventsxxxx file

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the following command

 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0" python TTS/TTS/bin/train_tacotron.py --restore_path ./Results/ljspeech-ddc-June-09-2021_08+36PM-0000000/best_model.pth.tar \
                                                         --config_path ./tacotron2-DDC.json \
                                                          --coqpit.output_path ./Results  \
                                                          --coqpit.datasets.0.path ./Italian_dataset/it_IT/by_book/male/riccardo_fasol/il_ritratto_del_diavolo   \
                                                          --coqpit.audio.stats_path ./scale_stats.npy \

1. No Runtime or compile Error

Expected behavior It should generate events.out.tfeventsxxxx file in the training RUN directory by default.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04):

• Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

• PyTorch or TensorFlow version (use command below):

• PyTorch 1.4.0, TensorFlow 2.1.0

• Exact command to reproduce:

 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0" python TTS/TTS/bin/train_tacotron.py --restore_path ./Results/ljspeech-ddc-June-09-2021_08+36PM-0000000/best_model.pth.tar \
                                                         --config_path ./tacotron2-DDC.json \
                                                          --coqpit.output_path ./Results  \
                                                          --coqpit.datasets.0.path ./Italian_dataset/it_IT/by_book/male/riccardo_fasol/il_ritratto_del_diavolo   \
                                                          --coqpit.audio.stats_path ./scale_stats.npy \

Ah ok, that explained what I saw then! Actually the events file was created when the training stopped while I was writing the comment! Thank you for your answer!

Hi @Ca-ressemble-a-du-fake ,

1. For me , .pth checkpoints are not being generated when --restore-path arg is used. Do you know why? I’m also using google colab. Rest of the files are being updated though as shown in below pic.
2. And how to make use of events.out.tfevents file?

checkpoint got written now at 280000 step. How can we make to write checkpoints more frequently?

Edit save_step in config.json file to your desired step size for saving model. @TejaswiniiB
