Tests not finishing

Rasa Open Source

TL;DR - rasa test stops mid test, console dump below

Details -

I have a new (not upgraded) small talk bot with 90 intents, 90 stories and my nlu.yml file is 9977 lines long. The model trains with no issues, other than it takes about 57 minutes and rasa shell works and the bot responds properly when playing around.

I’ve created 6 simple tests to get started, all with a single user phrase, intent and action like this

  - story: Greeting 1
    steps:
    - user: |
        Hi
      intent: greet
    - action: utter_greet

When I run my command, I get a few odd errors. The results directory is generated with the expected files, but the test just stops when performing Entity evaluation:

It literally stops right there and gives me my cursor back. It never actually runs my story tests. I know this because I set a bogus intent that should make the story fail

  - story: Greeting 1
    steps:
    - user: |
        Hi
      intent: xxxgreet
    - action: utter_greet

I get the same output with the incorrect xxxgreet intent.

I see an couple warnings about No labels to evaluate, a python UserWarning and UndefinedMetricWarning I’ve never seen any of those errors before. This is the first time I’ve tried testing a 2.x bot outside the normal out-of-the-box mood bot, so maybe I’m missing something.

Here’s my version information

Rasa Version     : 2.1.3
Rasa SDK Version : 2.1.2
Rasa X Version   : None
Python Version   : 3.8.0

Any ideas?

That does look pretty weird. One thing that jumps out at me is this line: Evaluating 0 stories, though that wouldn’t be related to entity extraction.

Have you tried running rasa test core?

3

No I hadn’t tried that, Let me retrain and run that. Give me about 57 minutes and I can tell ya what happens :slight_smile:

4

alright, since I’ve never run rasa test core I’m not sure if this completed or not

Here’s the output

It stops right there and I get my cursor back.

My results/failed_test_stories.yml file is empty, is that good?

You shouldn’t have to retrain, but I guess now you’ve got the new model :slight_smile:

It looks like you’ve just tested on your training stories, which is why you got 90/90 and results/failed_test_stories.yml is empty. Sorry for the confusion, I should have specified that you need to run rasa test core and point to your test stories like so:

rasa test core --stories tests/small_talk_tests.yml

Do you have a GPU?

Thank you for looking over this for me, I really appreciate it.

Actually I did have to retrain. Our models directory is gitignored and I had been working in another branch and it was overwritten, no biggie.

I’ve been fighting that GPU/Cuda warning for a while. I’m unfortunately on Windows 10 in a WSL/Ubuntu terminal and can’t seem to get the drivers happy. That’s what that mess is about.

I had read rasa test would automatically pick up the test file(s) if they were named test_* so I had renamed my file test_small_talk.yml and figured the plain old rasa test core would have nabbed it but as you pointed out, it didn’t.

This time around I specified the file and it looks better, maybe? Does it still stop short? I’m not sure if it is supposed to say X number of stories passed or stop like it does.

You’re welcome!

I see about your setup. CUDA can be difficult to please :slight_smile: Without belaboring what may be obvious to you, these warnings mean training is defaulting to using the CPU, which is one reason your training may be taking longer than you’d like.

I think that output looks much better. You’ve failed only 1/6 conversations, which is why you have only one story in the results/failed_test_stories.yml. This following line from your logs was to be expected, since you added a dummy intent:

Found intent 'xxxgreet' in stories which is not part of the domain.

If you haven’t checked it out already, this page of the docs might help you interpret your output.

Okay, so it looks like core is doing fine. It could be that there was some issue picking up the stories in the first place (when you ran rasa test without core). That would explain why it looks like nothing was happening for entity extraction – there was nothing to extract. I’m not sure why this would’ve happened, though, because you did point to them. The stories don’t seem to be malformed either, because rasa test core tested them once you pointed to them.

I’ll do some digging to see what’s going on. You could try running the command below again, could be something was up the first time, or something is wrong with the --fail-on-prediction-errors flag (there shouldn’t be, but it’s possible there’s a bug :slight_smile: )

rasa test --stories tests/test_small_talk.yml

Otherwise, you can do a sanity check and test the nlu portion. The bot should ace this since it’s seen all the nlu.yml data before

rasa test --nlu nlu.yml

8

I received the same abrupt stop.

On a whim, I spun up a new rasa init bot and run rasa test because that bot doesn’t have any entities either and I wanted to see what happens,

I got the same thing, it stops at the Entity evaluation results:

So maybe it’s a bug in the test code if there are no entities and it stops, when it should say something like No entities found and/or Testing complete

To play some more, I added an entity and extended the generic mood bot by adding the entity to the nlu data, trained and tested it again. And it made it past the Entity Evaluation results section

[other test results snipped]
2021-01-15 14:39:44 INFO     rasa.nlu.test  - Entity evaluation results:
2021-01-15 14:39:44 INFO     rasa.nlu.test  - Evaluation for entity extractor: DIETClassifier 
2021-01-15 14:39:44 INFO     rasa.nlu.test  - Classification report saved to results/DIETClassifier_report.json.

2021-01-15 14:39:44 INFO     rasa.utils.plotting  - Confusion matrix, without normalization: 
[[  5   1]
 [  1 157]]

So I guess there’s no real problem with my bot other than I was expecting something after the Entity evaluation results:

Sorry to waste your time

9

So maybe it’s a bug in the test code if there are no entities and it stops, when it should say something like No entities found and/or Testing complete

This is very true! I raised a similar issue thanks to your question which states that testing should stop if no stories are found, rather than produce confusing logs and empty files. I’ll update it to include this feedback as well.

You didn’t waste my time! I think this will result in an improvement of our output during testing. It’s always good for us to learn from users where things are confusing or misleading, that way we can try and make them better :slight_smile:
