Rasa not working after upgrade and installation of spacy

Rasa Open Source
1

I was using rasa == 3.0.6 without spacy, without any issues.

After installing latest and spacy using this command - pip3 install rasa[spacy]==3.0.8, I now get the following error, when trianing:

RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0xe but this version of numpy is 0xd

Hello, @eitant Did you create the conda based environment and install rasa with spacy and meet all the compatibilities issue?

I was able to solve this, so if anyone encounters this in the future - The issue seemed to be that spacy installed Tensorflow-gpu 2.8 which is incompatible with the rasa numpy version. Downgrading Tensorflow-gpu to 2.6.1 did the trick.
