Build issue for adversarial_text

[abuhman]

System information

• What is the top-level directory of the model you are using:
  /models/research/adversarial_text

• Have I written custom code (as opposed to using a stock example script provided in TensorFlow):
  I do not have custom code and am trying to run the sequence of commands from adversarial_text's readme.

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04):
  Linux Ubuntu 14.04

• TensorFlow installed from (source or binary):
  Installed using virtualenv for CPU as described here: https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_linux . I have the tensorflow/models source also and have run bazel build on adversarial_text and adversarial_text/data

• TensorFlow version (use command below):
  ('v1.3.0-rc2-20-g0787eee', '1.3.0')

• Bazel version (if compiling from source):
  Build label: 0.7.0

• CUDA/cuDNN version:
  Not installed

• GPU model and memory:
  Installed TensorFlow for CPU only, not with GPU support

• Exact command to reproduce:
  bazel run data:gen_vocab --
  --output_dir=$IMDB_DATA_DIR
  --dataset=imdb
  --imdb_input_dir=/tmp/aclImdb
  --lowercase=False

Command is from the README here: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/adversarial_text

I also ran the earlier commands in sequence listed in the README prior to running that command.

Describe the problem

Bug:
I am trying to run the code of models/adversarial-text using the steps described in the README here https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/adversarial_text. I have not made changes to any of the code or the dataset. When I tried to run the first bazel command, I got this error:

ERROR: no such package 'data': BUILD file not found on package path.
____Elapsed time: 1.370s
ERROR: Build failed. Not running target.

I have searched Stack Overflow and tried suggested solutions to similar issues, but none have worked. I found this question that was very similar to the one I am asking: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45090345/bazel-build-package-not-found . I contacted the person who had asked the Stack Overflow question, and he had not found a way to resolve the issue. He told me that also he has had a few other people contact him about the same issue.

Source code / logs

Running this command:
bazel run data:gen_vocab --
--output_dir=$IMDB_DATA_DIR
--dataset=imdb
--imdb_input_dir=/tmp/aclImdb
--lowercase=False

Produced this error:
ERROR: no such package 'data': BUILD file not found on package path.
____Elapsed time: 1.370s
ERROR: Build failed. Not running target.

Which directory are you running the command from? In order for that bazel command to succeed, you will have to issue it from the adversarial_text directory.

Thanks, I have tried from the adversarial_text directory. It is giving a different error, but still cannot find the data package:
