Tensorflow Flag

I got this error:

absl.flags._exceptions.IllegalFlagValueError: flag --dims=[784, 312, 128, 10]: Expect argument to be a string or int, found <type 'list'>

The issue is in the flag statement in DEN_run.py.
flags.DEFINE_integer("dims", [784, 312, 128, 10], "Dimensions about layers including output")

A list is passed instead of int.

Solution:
Divide the list into integer in DEN_run.py as :
flags.DEFINE_integer("dims0", 784, "Dimensions about input layer")
flags.DEFINE_integer("dims1", 312, "Dimensions about 1st layer")
flags.DEFINE_integer("dims2", 128, "Dimensions about 2nd layer")
flags.DEFINE_integer("dims3", 10, "Dimensions about output layer")

Then, modify in DEN.py for line "self.dims = config.dims" as :
self.dims0 = config.dims0
self.dims1 = config.dims1
self.dims2 = config.dims2
self.dims3 = config.dims3
nn_shape = [self.dims0, self.dims1, self.dims2, self.dims3]
self.dims = nn_shape

To run the code in Jupyter notebook, add these lines before creating the model from DEN class:

remaining_args = FLAGS([sys.argv[0]] + [flag for flag in sys.argv if flag.startswith("--")])
assert(remaining_args == [sys.argv[0]])

I have a this problem. I do not understand what is mean the command “updata DEN.py”. It not work for me

or simply replace the line
flags.DEFINE_integer("dims", [784, 312, 128, 10], "Dimensions about layers including output")
with :
flags.DEFINE_list("dims", [784, 312, 128, 10], "Dimensions about layers including output")
