Setfit does not work with transformers dev-version with error "'CallbackHandler' object has no attribute 'tokenizer'"

[WeichenXu123]

Repro:

transformers: pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers
setfit: pip install setfit==1.1.0

code:

    dataset = load_dataset("sst2")

    train_dataset = sample_dataset(dataset["train"], label_column="label", num_samples=8)
    eval_dataset = dataset["validation"]

    model = SetFitModel.from_pretrained("sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2")

    training_args = SetFitTrainingArguments(
        loss=CosineSimilarityLoss,
        batch_size=16,
        num_iterations=5,
        num_epochs=1,
        report_to="none",
    )

    # TODO: Remove this once https://github.com/huggingface/setfit/issues/512
    #   is resolved. This is a workaround during the deprecation of the
    #   evaluation_strategy argument is being addressed in the SetFit library.
    training_args.eval_strategy = training_args.evaluation_strategy

    trainer = SetFitTrainer(
        model=model,
        train_dataset=train_dataset,
        eval_dataset=eval_dataset,
        metric="accuracy",
        column_mapping={"sentence": "text", "label": "label"},
        args=training_args,
    )

SetFitTrainer constructor Raises error:

AttributeError: 'CallbackHandler' object has no attribute 'tokenizer'

@WeichenXu123 full traceback?

[WeichenXu123]

added full stack trace.

Hi, I also encountered the same issue. Could you let me know if you managed to solve this?

[AmoghM]

+1 Same issue

[xklong1202]

I found a way to solve this problem. I ran the code using Colab and didn’t encounter the issue. I also built a virtual environment on my local computer and reinstalled all the packages and Python using the same versions as in Colab. However, I still encountered the issue. I’m wondering whether this is related to my OS (I’m using MacOS)

[MelikbekyanAshot]

Same issue

[Andgium]

Same issue (I'm using VsCode on windows)

[tomaarsen]

The best solution currently is to install a slightly older transformers version. I haven't yet had time to address this.

Thanks for the tip Tom Aarsen.
I removed version 4.46.0 and installed 4.42.2 (the one that uses Colab) and it works.

[yangzy100]

Confirmed that downgraded transformers to 4.42.2 works. I used jupyter notebook.

[jasonwdon]

4.45.2 worked for me. Was having issues on 4.42.2 with apple silicon
