I am trying to run the basic tutorial following the instruction at https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/syntaxnet

I am getting the following error when I do bazel test syntaxnet/... util/utf8/...

Following is the error snippet:

//syntaxnet:arc_standard_transitions_test PASSED in 0.0s
//syntaxnet:parser_features_test PASSED in 0.0s
//syntaxnet:sentence_features_test PASSED in 0.0s
//syntaxnet:shared_store_test PASSED in 0.2s
//syntaxnet:tagger_transitions_test PASSED in 0.0s
//util/utf8:unicodetext_unittest PASSED in 0.0s
//syntaxnet:beam_reader_ops_test FAILED in 0.1s
//syntaxnet:graph_builder_test FAILED in 0.1s
//syntaxnet:lexicon_builder_test FAILED in 0.1s
//syntaxnet:parser_trainer_test FAILED in 0.1s
//syntaxnet:reader_ops_test FAILED in 0.1s
//syntaxnet:text_formats_test FAILED in 0.1s

Executed 12 out of 12 tests: 6 tests pass and 6 fail locally. There were tests whose specified size is too big. Use the --test_verbose_timeout_warnings command line option to see which ones these are.

Is anybody familiar with this kind of error? Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

  • something is not right with your tensorflow setup. did you checkout straight or just updated from an older repository? They do pass on my linux machine. Are you on Macosx? – fabrizioM May 14 '16 at 08:57
  • The log files for those tests (which will tell you why those tests failed) can be found in the output above the stuff you pasted. Please take a look at those and paste the actual reasons for the failed tests in your question. – kris May 17 '16 at 16:17

I was facing the same problem,until I found that it was a memory related problem.I build it on Ubuntu 14.04 with --local_resources 2048,.5,1.0 flag. Follow these steps:

1 get coorect version of bazel wget https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/0.2.2b/bazel-0.2.2b-installer-linux-x86_64.sh

2 chmod +x bazel-0.2.2b-installer-linux-x86_64.sh

3 ./bazel-0.2.2b-installer-linux-x86_64.sh --user

4 git clone --recursive https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git

5 cd /models/syntaxnet/tensorflow

6 ./configure

7 cd ..

8 bazel test --local_resources 2048,.5,1.0 --genrule_strategy=standalone syntaxnet/... util/utf8/...

Hope this will help others!

  • Haven't tried this but I agree it's probably a resource problem. I added `--jobs 4` – dmansfield Jun 13 '16 at 19:52
  • Mihai, can you specify what those additional flags stand for. I get the following error when I write those flags `The 'test' command is only supported from within a workspace.` – Aakash Gupta Jun 14 '16 at 09:37
  • Yes you have to be in `models/syntaxnet` root folder from the git repo to run bazel. After installing correct version of bazel follow these steps:1 `git clone --recursive https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git` 2 `cd /models/syntaxnet/tensorflow ` 3 `./configure` 4 `bazel test --local_resources 2048,.5,1.0 --genrule_strategy=standalone syntaxnet/... util/utf8/...` It has worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04 – Mihai Ilie Jun 16 '16 at 10:19

You could try increasing your Virtual RAM. I had to make it 8GBs just to get it to work.

This link might help for that.

If you are on Mac, test it by using this command instead:

bazel test --linkopt=-headerpad_max_install_names \
syntaxnet/... util/utf8/...
