Information

Model I am using (Bert, XLNet ...):

The problem arises when using:

• the official example scripts: (give details below)
• my own modified scripts: (give details below)

The tasks I am working on is:

• an official GLUE/SQUaD task: (give the name)
• my own task or dataset: (give details below)

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Try running seq2seq/finetune.sh with data_dir or output_dir with escaped spaces in it
2. You'll get a finetune.py: error: unrecognized arguments

This is bad because Google Drive mounts at /content/drive/My Drive/ in Colab and thus the example scripts won't work if saving or reading from Drive.

I've created a Colab Notebook with repro.

The fix I've found is to change:

python finetune.py \
    --learning_rate=3e-5 \
    --fp16 \
    --gpus 1 \
    --do_train \
    --do_predict \
    --n_val 1000 \
    --val_check_interval 0.1 \
    $@

to

python finetune.py \
    --learning_rate=3e-5 \
    --fp16 \
    --gpus 1 \
    --do_train \
    --do_predict \
    --n_val 1000 \
    --val_check_interval 0.1 \
    "$@"
