TypeError: expected bytes, Descriptor found

Question

How do I fix the following error traceback regarding tf.record?

(tensorflow1) c:\\tensorflow1\\models\\re         


        

Answer 1

I get the same error when I installed tensorflow with conda install -c anaconda tensorflow-gpu over existing tenforflow.

Remove existing environment and create a new one. Then run conda install -c anaconda tensorflow-gpu .

Answer 2

Try this, worked for me

pip install protobuf-py3
pip install --upgrade protobuf

Answer 3

In my case,

pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow-gpu==1.15.0

did the job :).

Answer 4

Probably it's due to unmatched tensorflow and tensorboard versions.

I solved it after creating a separate conda environment for my code.
