Tensorflow @tf.function: AttributeError: in converted code

Question

I created a class and defined the train_step function inside it: TF tutorial: NMT_attention Without using the @tf.function significantly increases the training time. On defining it, I get a conversion error for the private variables declared inside the class.

@tf.function
    def train_step(self, input, target, encoderHidden):
      loss = 0

      with tf.GradientTape() as tape:
        encoderOutput, encoderHidden = self.__encoder(input, encoderHidden) #throws error

Below is the traceback:
