RLLib version

Hi, Can you please specify the Ray version under which the rllib example code runs? I am currently getting this error with Ray 1.11.0:

Thank you for the heads up. It is a problem with ray==1.12.0. Taking a look at rllib it seems to have some bugs in it.

While I can give the new-style _agent_ids with:

    self._agent_ids = set(
        PLAYER_STR_FORMAT.format(index=index)
        for index in range(self._num_players)
    )   
    super().__init__()

There are other issues.

For example in ray/rllib/utils/pre_checks/env.py lines 333-341:

def _check_reward(reward, base_env=False, agent_ids=None):
    if base_env:
        for _, multi_agent_dict in reward.items():
            for agent_id, rew in multi_agent_dict.items():
                if not (
                    np.isreal(rew) and not isinstance(rew, bool) and np.isscalar(rew)
                ):  
                    error = ( 
                        "Your step function must return rewards that are"
                        f" integer or float. reward: {rew}. Instead it was a "
                        f"{type(reward)}"
                    )   
                    raise ValueError(error)

Here they test that the rewards returned are real, not boolean and scalar. That trips out for me because meltingpot is passing float rewards. The error message says that floats are acceptable (which I think they should be) and quotes the type of the reward dictionary rather than the type of the reward that they are testing.

Therefore I think it best to stick with ray=1.11.0 for now. I can look more closely and submit the PR next week.

This is added as part of PR 25 (if you are happy to have one PR address two issues). Though that is only to get the code to run, it does not address the ‘specify the Ray version’.
