issue submitting jobs to google cloud

Question

I would like to train the object detection model on google cloud, following this post the link Then I follow instructions on https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/object_detection/g3doc/running_on_cloud.md

I tried to submit a new job. And one of the line is to define dir of the YAML configuration file. This is what I type --config D:/Racoon/code/raccoon_dataset-master/training/cloud \ And the configuration file "cloud.yml" is there, but I got this error "ERROR: gcloud crashed (IOError): [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'D:/Racoon/code/raccoon_dataset-master/training/cloud'" I am very new to this field. This question might be very stupid, but I really can not figure out what to do. Can anyone help me with this. Thanks. By the way, I am using win10 system.

Answer 1

the --config flag value should be pointing to the file itself not the directory it's in. So you should be passing in the value:

--config D:/Racoon/code/raccoon_dataset-master/training/cloud.yml

or

--config D:/Racoon/code/raccoon_dataset-master/training/cloud/cloud.yml
