Local evaluator on Windows not working

I followed all the instructions to run evaluator on Windows local system.
However, when I type “flatland-evaluator --tests /path/to/test-env-data/”, I have “Ran out of input” error as the following :

[‘Test_9\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_1\Level_0.pkl’, ‘Test_9\Level_0.pkl’, ‘Test_0\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_3\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_8\Level_0.pkl’, ‘Test_1\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_2\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_3\Level_0.pkl’, ‘Test_8\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_6\Level_0.pkl’, ‘Test_7\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_2\Level_0.pkl’, ‘Test_0\Level_0.pkl’, ‘Test_5\Level_0.pkl’, ‘Test_6\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_4\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_4\Level_0.pkl’, ‘Test_5\Level_1.pkl’, ‘Test_7\Level_0.pkl’]

Does anyone have same problem with me ?

Thanx :slight_smile:

I have a feeling that the pickle files you are using are corrupt somehow :confused: Or the dataset directory paths are not properly set.

Are you correctly specifying the /path/to/test-env-data/ ?

I met the same problem on my windows machine. And I checked that this problem is caused by the “pickle” in Python. If the module is related to multiprocessing and dumped on the Linux system, the error will occur when it is loaded on Windows machine. I appeal that the organizers also realize Windows version of this test environment.
