I am using NLU component of Rasa. I started playing around with latest update of rasa i.e 2.0.2. I trained my model and after training the model, I’m trying to run the NLU server to parse sentence with it using the command: `python run --api-enable -m [model_path]`. I am getting below error when running server

> 2020-10-23 02:01:09 ERROR rasa.core.agent - Could not load model due to module ‘[rasa.utils.io](http://rasa.utils.io)’ has no attribute ‘read\_json\_file’.

Is this a known error or is this any bug with the new version? Thanks in advance

Just to check, did you run this command:

```auto
python run --api-enable -m [model_path]

```

Or this one:

```auto
rasa run --api-enable -m [model_path]

```

Also, did you also see a trace attached to this error by any chance?

Sorry my bad I ran

```auto
rasa run --api-enable -m [model_path]

```

I can figure out the issue. I am using one custom extractor where read\_json\_file was from [rasa.utils.io](http://rasa.utils.io) was used. But with the recent rasa update, the project structure has little changes and read\_json\_file can be obtained from

> [rasa.shared.utils.io](http://rasa.shared.utils.io)

Now its working. Thanks
