FAQ

Q: What to do when SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED occurs?

A: Due to your network environment, for example, if you use a proxy to connect to the Internet, SSL verification failure may occur on Python because of incorrect certificate configuration. In this case, you can use either of the following methods to solve this problem:

Configure the SSL certificate (recommended).

Before import mindspore_hub, please add the codes (the fastest method).

import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context

import mindspore_hub as mshub
model = mshub.load("mindspore/1.6/lenet_mnist", num_classes=10)

Q: What to do when No module named src.* occurs?

A: When you use mindspore_hub.load to load differenet models in the same process, because the model file path needs to be inserted into sys.path. Test results show that Python only looks for src.* in the first inserted path. It’s no use to delete the first inserted path. To solve the problem, you can copy all model files to the working directory. The code is as follows:

# mindspore_hub_install_path/load.py
def _copy_all_file_to_target_path(path, target_path):
    if not os.path.exists(target_path):
        os.makedirs(target_path)
    path = os.path.realpath(path)
    target_path = os.path.realpath(target_path)
    for p in os.listdir(path):
        copy_path = os.path.join(path, p)
        target_dir = os.path.join(target_path, p)
        _delete_if_exist(target_dir)
        if os.path.isdir(copy_path):
            _copy_all_file_to_target_path(copy_path, target_dir)
        else:
            shutil.copy(copy_path, target_dir)

def _get_network_from_cache(name, path, *args, **kwargs):
    _copy_all_file_to_target_path(path, os.getcwd())
    config_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), HUB_CONFIG_FILE)
    if not os.path.exists(config_path):
        raise ValueError('{} not exists.'.format(config_path))
    ......

Note: Some files of the previous model may be replaced when the next model is loaded. However，necessary model files must exist during model training. Therefore, you must finish training the previous model before the next model loads.
