Exir.capture fails - missing get_random_input

@kimishpatel This is in response to your message:

What is tf_model in your example? If you are following pattern of https://github.com/pytorch/executorch/blob/main/examples/models/inception_v3/model.py#L28, then the TFModel needs to defined get_random_inputs method.

I am not sure I understand. Sorry.

It sounds like I need to define get_random_input method in my model. Right?

The link in your message points to get_example_inputs method. I this an example of get_random_input method? In my model, input datasets are stored offline. They are not random tensors. Can I just supply to exir.capture an input dataset?

Thanks

Please send a message to a user instead of creating a topic in case you are communicating directly.

@kimishpatel asked me to post to this section of the pytorch forums

I assume Kimish asked you to create a topic explaining your question here instead of directly responding to a conversation nobody else has access to.

I am sorry. Didn’t I do that?

At least for me it’s unclear what the question is and where you are stuck.

thats right @ptrblck

yes that is correct. In the code that tried, the expectation was that the model has “get_random_inputs” method specified on it. You can also just create a tuple of inputs (which is what the example code, I pointed you to, does) and supply that with exir.capture.

And no, capture cannot just take input dataset. It needs the tuple of example input to “trace” the model with.

I was able to have exir.capture run the trace of my model (I think). However, now the code fails with the error listed below. Could yo please take a look and let me know what you think I am ding wrong and what I should do next?
Thanks

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

These are the executorch lines in my code:

        print(exir.capture(m, (enc_input, dec_input, dec_source_mask, dec_target_mask)).to_edge())
        open("tfmodel.pte", "wb").write(exir.capture(m, (enc_input, dec_input, dec_source_mask, dec_target_mask))
                                        .to_edge().to_executorch().buffer)

The failure occurs when trying to execute the open statement
I don’t think capture is the problem as the print statement works as expected
