After cloned tensorboard, then run projector standalone, it faied. Any thing missed?

bazel build tensorboard:tensorboard & bazel run //tensorboard -- --logdir /tmp/logs works fine

Thanks for the report!

Question: Do you recall if you ever got this to work? If so, when?

This is a poorly supported part of the code base and documentation seems to be out of date.

This is the actual executable target now: bazel run tensorboard/plugins/projector/vz_projector:standalone_lib

But the server it brings up is on a random port and http://localhost:<whatever port>/standalone_lib.html does not properly load. (Note to Googlers, this target and page run fine if you use the internal repository and toolchain).

I checked as far back as April 2022 and still couldn't get this back to work. Going back any further in time is a bit difficult. I'll spend some more time investigating whether this is fixable.

@bmd3k appreciate your efforts, it works now

This should have been fixed with #6069. Now works as documented. @wujjpp , do you mind giving it another try?

[wujjpp]

@bmd3k verified, it works now, thanks
