TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument 'logdir'

from ignite.contrib.handlers.tensorboard_logger import TensorboardLogger tb = TensorboardLogger(log_dir=None)

gives the following error:

self.file_writer = FileWriter(logdir=log_dir, **kwargs)

TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument ‘logdir’

This also happens when I run

from tensorboardX import SummaryWriter sw = SummaryWriter(log_dir=None)

self.file_writer = FileWriter(logdir=log_dir, **kwargs)

TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument ‘logdir’

However, when I do don’t put in logdir=log_dir, and simply pass in log_dir, it works fine.

I was looking to see if there’s any conflicting reference with self or anything like that, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the problem, since all the self’s seem to be in place, so I’m not sure.

Any ideas?

ignite version: 1.1.0 tensorboard version: 1.13.1 tensorboardX version: 1.6

I think the problem is in self.writer = SummaryWriter(logdir=log_dir) in tensorboard_logger.py (line 408 in the class TensorboardLogger). logdir should be log_dir(since the class SummaryWriter has parameter log_dir, not logdir).

I think we need handle both version for instance until 0.3.0. So we need to intercept the exception

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/conda/envs/test/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ignite/contrib/handlers/tensorboard_logger.py", line 408, in __init__
    self.writer = SummaryWriter(logdir=log_dir)

    self.file_writer = FileWriter(logdir=log_dir, **kwargs)
TypeError: type object got multiple values for keyword argument 'logdir'

and raise a warning saying to update to tensorboardX==1.7 and setup self.writer with another argument.
