@vermaankit192 Can you please post

  1. The output of rasa --version, and
  2. A minimal example of a rasa project that produces this error
  3. The command that led to this traceback.

Rasa Version     : 2.4.0
Rasa SDK Version : 2.4.0
Rasa X Version   : 0.35.1
Python Version   : 3.8.5
Operating System : Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0
Python Path      : C:\Users\TTN\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe

I have a look up table as category.txt inside data folder and lookup_tables subfolder. The content of category.txt is

refrigerator
washing machine
air conditioner

I am calling this inside nlu.md as

## lookup:category
data/lookup_tables/category.txt

When i train my model by python -m rasa train. the above error comes. However, this was not an error when I ran the model 10 days ago. but somehow this code is not working now.

Hi @vermaankit192

Thank you for the details. It looks like you found a Windows-related bug. I created an issue here. Until this is resolved, you will have to paste the lookup lists directly into your file (also we recommend to use yml instead of md; Markdown is deprecated). Sorry for the inconvenience!

Almost overlooked this. Did you update your rasa version or any packages in your environment in between?

6

No I didn’t update Rasa version nor any package

Giving path did not work for me either. I created a seperate .yml file for my lookup table and that works. You have to convert txt to yml using a simple script
