Installation problems due to google_type_annotations

[mashrurmorshed]

I'm running python 3.7.5, on Ubuntu 18.04. While installing gin-config, I ran into the following error:

The error seems to be thrown by from __future__ import google_type_annotations. Commenting out this import in resource_reader.py resolves the problem. Seems similar to #77, though it's supposed to be resolved.

Also checked: installing gin-config-0.3.0 directly from pip allows me to import gin without any problems (Though it lacks the bindings for torch)

I've been running up against this, too. You need to install from this commit:

pip install git+https://github.com/google/gin-config@22f59375a70d47e467c902eaeb6f979660995b84

You'll get the pytorch configurables and a few other things but avoid the google_type_annotations error.

I just pushed 0.4.0 so there should be a new package available to install directly from pypi.

0.4.0 seems to break when trying to use gin.add_config_file_search_path(...), then running gin.parse_config_file(...). I'm getting (from ipdb):

ERROR:root:Path not found: base.gin
*** TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

This is after running:

gin.add_config_file_search_path("configs")
gin.parse_config_file("base.gin")

Both the path configs and file configs/base.gin exist on my system (with the appropriate relative directories and the like).

I can confirm that this works with 22f5937. I haven't been able to go past that commit because of google_type_annotations. 😕

[sguada]

@dhr can you take a look at this?

[sguada]

can you patch d318342 to remove the issue with google_type_annotations

[mashrurmorshed]

Hello. My problem seems to be solved; should the issue be closed?

I had the same problem and I solved downgrading to the version that @ionlights suggested, the most recent commit is still affected by this problem

[sguada]

Maybe @dhr has some insights.
