encounter ValueError when I "python dcgan.py"

[duduheihei]

ValueError: Variable G_conv/Conv/weights does not exist, or was not created with tf.get_variable(). Did you mean to set reuse=None in VarScope?

I wonder if I am the only one who meet this problem and I have been confused for days. I hope I can get some help.

here is the information

So sorry for my late reply, for I saw your issue just now (I haven't used computer over the last two weeks)

About the error, you are right, reuse=False can correct this.

And it's all by my carelessness, I forgot to delete the file net.py in the root folder, as the file utils/net.py is the right one. So the executed file dcgan.py just run the wrong code in ./net.py instead of right code in ./utils/net.py.

Anyway, I've just fixed this. Thank you very much for your reporting. :-D

Thank you very much for solving this problem and providing such a good learning material for GAN and tf.
