Sorry, something went wrong (see error above). Make sure to start Rasa X with valid data and valid domain and config files. Please, also check any warnings that popped up.
If you need help fixing the issue visit our forum: http://forum.rasa.com/.

I already tried to increase the timeout in console.py from 10 to 30 seconds, but that didn’t help, the error pops up before 30 seconds are expired - the tip was from Rasa x is not working on windows 10 - #59 by nik202

Rasa Versions gives

Rasa Version      :         2.8.2
Minimum Compatible Version: 2.8.0
Rasa SDK Version  :         2.8.1
Rasa X Version    :         0.42.0
Python Version    :         3.8.10
Operating System  :         Windows-10-10.0.18363-SP0

rasa train did work however, so the config and NLU files seem to be good.

Thank you for any tips you might have.

@raoulvm please your rasa-x==0.39.3 and rasa=2.8.1 and rasa-sdk==2.8.1

you will see some know errors such as:

ImportError: cannot import name ‘RowProxy’ from ‘sqlalchemy.engine’ try running pip install SQLAlchemy==1.3.22

Please try.

Hi @nik202 I didn’t get you.

I should try downgrading torasa ==2.8.1 with X == 0.39 ?

4

@raoulvm you need to downgrade rasa to 2.8.1

pip install rasa==2.8.1

@raoulvm you need to downgrade rasa-sdk to 2.8.1 as its already same, but still install rasa-sdk to 2.8.1

pip install rasa-sdk==2.8.1

@raoulvm you need to downgrade rasa-x to 0.39.3

pip install rasa-x==0.39.3 --extra-index-url https://pypi.rasa.com/simple

I’d recommend to create the fresh env python 3.8 and then install and follow the above steps. If you encountered any error do share.

@raoulvm Hey, are you able to solve this?

6

Hi @nik202 yes, took more forensics than planned. There is a change in line #92 of rasax.community.services.stack_service.py where the default time_out is changed from None to 1.0 seconds, which seems too low if the rasa open source server is currently starting on the same low end laptop. If you change it back to None it will run again. I have a contact at Rasa look into that one.

@raoulvm I’m sorry not get you on this, if you able to solve the issue that’s great, I’d request please close this thread with the solution. Thanks.

8

Will do once it is sufficiently resolved. As a company with a service contract we will not change the Rasa X code, we will have Rasa do that - and then I will close the issue here!

9

@raoulvm Make sense and good luck with your project.

Was informed by Rasa customer team that there is a 0.42.x patch at the gates which fixes the timeout (via environment variable) and the sanic and sanic-jwt version dependencies.

Should be shipped any day now, @nik202

11

@raoulvm Thanks for the valuable information Raoul.

12

Has been fixed in rasa-x==0.42.2.

For Windows PCs, set environment variable RASA_VERSION_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS=60 to avoid getting stuck in the timeout. Mac version might throw an exception if the model loads slower than 1 sec, but survives and tries again.

@raoulvm Hi thanks for the share Raoul, Any steps for the users how they will set the environment or new need to update in some file ?

14

To set the environment variable:

Either:

  • type envirnment in the Cortana search bar next to the Windows Start Menu symbol and choose “Environment Variables for this user” (or similar, I am currently on a Mac) and add the variable in the dialogue,
  • Or if you are using a classic cmd shell “batch script” you can use SET RASA_VERSION_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS=60 before calling RASA X

Google is your friend here.
