AttributeError: 'FuncGraph' object has no attribute '_captures'

Describe the bug
I installed tf2onnx.convert with (I also tried the stable version, same result):

pip uninstall tf2onnx
pip3 install git+https://github.com/onnx/tensorflow-onnx

When I run it, I see:

$ python3 -m tf2onnx.convert --opset 10 \
  --saved-model ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_2018_01_28/saved_model \
  --output model.onnx

System information

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 18.04*): MacOS 13.3.1 on Apple Silicon M1
• TensorFlow Version: 2.13.0rc0
• Python version: 3.11.3

To Reproduce
I'm following the instructions here: https://ankane.org/tensorflow-ruby - I downloaded this pre-trained model: https://storage.googleapis.com/download.tensorflow.org/models/object_detection/ssd_mobilenet_v1_coco_2018_01_28.tar.gz and trying to convert it to onnx format.

Unfortunately I am not able to install any other versions of tensorflow, only 2.13.0rc0 appears to be available:

$ pip3 install tensorflow==2.11.1
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==2.11.1 (from versions: 2.13.0rc0)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow==2.11.1

This looks like an issue of tensorflow.

Could you please lower down your python version to 3.9 so that you can install different versions of tensorflow for a retry?

[rgaufman]

We have a dependency on python 3.11 for a few other things, is support for this version of python and newer versions of TensorFlow something that's in the works?

[fatcat-z]

This is a compatibility issue between Python and TensorFlow 2.11.1, so tf2onnx can't help on it. Do you mind to try a newer TensorFlow version on Python 3.11?

[rgaufman]

I believe 2.13.0rc0 is the latest? (it is also the only version selectable in pip3 install)

[fatcat-z]

I believe 2.13.0rc0 is the latest? (it is also the only version selectable in pip3 install)

Yes, it should be the latest rc version.

[rgaufman]

That's the one I used above in the issue report. It's the only one that's available for python 3.11.

[guoqingbao]

I have the same problem; my Tensorflow version is 2.13.0 (Python 3.9).

[guoqingbao]

@rgaufman This problem can be fixed by replacing:

graph_captures = concrete_func.graph._captures

to

    if hasattr(concrete_func.graph, "captures"):
        graph_captures = concrete_func.graph.captures  
        captured_inputs = [t_name.name for t_val, t_name in graph_captures]
    else:
        graph_captures = concrete_func.graph._captures  
        captured_inputs = [t_name.name for t_val, t_name in graph_captures.values()]

[David-Leroye]

I got the same problem. It worked when I decreased the tensorflow version to 2.12.1

@rgaufman were you able to find a solution?

@guoqingbao Do you consider a pull request for your fix? I discovered this after posting another fix for the same issue at #2180 (comment), and your fix looks better than mine.
