TensorFlow 2.0 includes many API changes, such as reordering arguments, renaming symbols, and changing default values for parameters. Manually performing all of these modifications would be tedious and prone to error. To streamline the changes, and to make your transition to TF 2.0 as seamless as possible, the TensorFlow team has created the tf_upgrade_v2
utility to help transition legacy code to the new API.
Note: tf_upgrade_v2
is installed automatically for TensorFlow 1.13 and later (including all TF 2.0 builds).
Typical usage is like this:
tf_upgrade_v2 \ --intree my_project/ \ --outtree my_project_v2/ \ --reportfile report.txt
It will accelerate your upgrade process by converting existing TensorFlow 1.x Python scripts to TensorFlow 2.0.
The conversion script automates as much as possible, but there are still syntactical and stylistic changes that cannot be performed by the script.
Certain API symbols can not be upgraded simply by using a string replacement. To ensure your code is still supported in TensorFlow 2.0, the upgrade script includes a compat.v1
module. This module replaces TF 1.x symbols like tf.foo
with the equivalent tf.compat.v1.foo
reference. While the compatibility module is nice, we recommend that you manually proofread replacements and migrate them to new APIs in the tf.*
namespace instead of tf.compat.v1
namespace as quickly as possible.
Because of TensorFlow 2.x module deprecations (for example, tf.flags
and tf.contrib
), some changes can not be worked around by switching to compat.v1
. Upgrading this code may require using an additional library (for example, absl.flags
) or switching to a package in tensorflow/addons.
The rest of this guide demonstrates how to use the upgrade script. While the upgrade script is easy to use, it is strongly recomended that you use the script as part of the following process:
Unit Test: Ensure that the code you’re upgrading has a unit test suite with reasonable coverage. This is Python code, so the language won’t protect you from many classes of mistakes. Also ensure that any dependency you have has already been upgraded to be compatible with TensorFlow 2.0.
Install TensorFlow 1.14: Upgrade your TensorFlow to the latest TensorFlow 1.x version, at least 1.14. This includes the final TensorFlow 2.0 API in tf.compat.v2
.
Test With 1.14: Ensure your unit tests pass at this point. You’ll be running them repeatedly as you upgrade so starting from green is important.
Run the upgrade script: Run tf_upgrade_v2
on your entire source tree, tests included. This will upgrade your code to a format where it only uses symbols available in TensorFlow 2.0. Deprecated symbols will be accessed with tf.compat.v1
. These will eventually require manual attention, but not immediately.
Run the converted tests with TensorFlow 1.14: Your code should still run fine in TensorFlow 1.14. Run your unit tests again. Any error in your tests here means there’s a bug in the upgrade script. Please let us know.
Check the upgrade report for warnings and errors: The script writes a report file that explains any conversions you should double-check, or any manual action you need to take. For example: Any remaining instances of contrib will require manual action to remove. Please consult the RFC for more instructions.
Install TensorFlow 2.0: At this point it should be safe to switch to TensorFlow 2.0
Test with v1.disable_v2_behavior
: Re-running your tests with al v1.disable_v2_behavior()
in the tests main function should give the same results as running under 1.14.
Enable V2 Behavior: Now that your tests work using the v2 API, you can start looking into turning on v2 behavior. Depending on how your code is written this may require some changes. See the Migration guide for details.
In [0]:
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)
Clone the tensorflow/models git repository so you have some code to test on:
In [0]:
!git clone --branch r1.13.0 --depth 1 https://github.com/tensorflow/models
In [0]:
!tf_upgrade_v2 -h
Here is a simple TensorFlow 1.0 script:
In [0]:
!head -n 65 models/samples/cookbook/regression/custom_regression.py | tail -n 10
With TensorFlow 2.0 installed it does not run:
In [0]:
!(cd models/samples/cookbook/regression && python custom_regression.py)
In [0]:
!tf_upgrade_v2 \
--infile models/samples/cookbook/regression/custom_regression.py \
--outfile /tmp/custom_regression_v2.py
The script will print errors if it can not find a fix for the code.
Typical projects, including this simple example, will use much more than one file. Typically want to upgrade an entire package, so the script can also be run on a directory tree:
In [0]:
# upgrade the .py files and copy all the other files to the outtree
!tf_upgrade_v2 \
--intree models/samples/cookbook/regression/ \
--outtree regression_v2/ \
--reportfile tree_report.txt
Note the one warning about the dataset.make_one_shot_iterator
function.
Now the script works in with TensorFlow 2.0:
Note that because the tf.compat.v1
module, the converted script will also run in TensorFlow 1.14.
In [0]:
!(cd regression_v2 && python custom_regression.py 2>&1) | tail
In [0]:
!head -n 20 tree_report.txt
Note again the one warning about the Dataset.make_one_shot_iterator function
.
In other cases the output will explain the reasoning for non-trivial changes:
In [0]:
%%writefile dropout.py
import tensorflow as tf
d = tf.nn.dropout(tf.range(10), 0.2)
z = tf.zeros_like(d, optimize=False)
In [0]:
!tf_upgrade_v2 \
--infile dropout.py \
--outfile dropout_v2.py \
--reportfile dropout_report.txt > /dev/null
In [0]:
!cat dropout_report.txt
Here is the modified file contents, note how the script adds argument names to deal with moved and renamed arguments:
In [0]:
!cat dropout_v2.py
A larger project might contain a few errors. For example convert the deeplab model:
In [0]:
!tf_upgrade_v2 \
--intree models/research/deeplab \
--outtree deeplab_v2 \
--reportfile deeplab_report.txt > /dev/null
It produced the output files:
In [0]:
!ls deeplab_v2
But there were errors. The report will help you pin-point what you need to fix before this will run. Here are the first three errors:
In [0]:
!cat deeplab_report.txt | grep -i models/research/deeplab | grep -i error | head -n 3
The conversion script also has a less invasive SAFETY
mode that simply changes the imports to use the tensorflow.compat.v1
module:
In [0]:
!cat dropout.py
In [0]:
!tf_upgrade_v2 --mode SAFETY --infile dropout.py --outfile dropout_v2_safe.py > /dev/null
In [0]:
!cat dropout_v2_safe.py
As you can see this doesn't upgrade your code, but does allow TensorFlow 1 code to run in TensorFlow 2
Do not update parts of your code manually before running this script. In particular, functions that have had reordered arguments like tf.argmax
or tf.batch_to_space
cause the script to incorrectly add keyword arguments that mismap your existing code.
The script assumes that tensorflow
is imported using import tensorflow as tf
.
This script does not reorder arguments. Instead, the script adds keyword arguments to functions that have their arguments reordered.
