Error: ValueError: The last dimension of the inputs to `Dense` should be defined. Found `None`

I'm trying to build a lstm model for text classification and I'm receiving an error. This is my entire code that I've tried.

Please let me know what's the reason behind the error and how to fix it.

input1.shape # text data integer coded
(37788, 130)
input2.shape # multiple category columns(one hot encoded) concatenated together
(37788, 104)

train_data = [input1, input2] # this is the train data.

i1 = Input(shape=(130,), name='input')
embeddings = Embedding(input_dim=20000, output_dim=100, input_length=130)(i1)
lstm = LSTM(100)(embeddings)
flatten = Flatten()(lstm)

i2  = Input(shape=(None, 104))
c1 = Conv1D(64, 2, padding='same', activation='relu', kernel_initializer='he_uniform')(i2)
c2 = Conv1D(32, kernel_size=3, activation='relu', kernel_initializer='he_uniform')(c1)
flatten1 = Flatten()(c2)

concat = concatenate([flatten, flatten1])
dense1 = Dense(32, 'relu', kernel_initializer='he_uniform')(concat)

I tried to print shape of conv1d layers and I was getting None for flatten layer. I think it might be the reason for the error.

Tensor("conv1d_81/Identity:0", shape=(None, None, 64), dtype=float32)
Tensor("conv1d_82/Identity:0", shape=(None, None, 32), dtype=float32)
Tensor("flatten_106/Identity:0", shape=(None, None), dtype=float32)

This is the error I'm getting. How to fix it?

For me the problem was that i did not reshape the Tensor before use in the input function

image = tf.reshape(image, [400,400,3])

You have None in the length of the sequence in the second model.

i2  = Input(shape=(None, 104))

You can't flatten a variable length and have a known size.
You need a known size for Dense.

Either you use a fixed length instead of None, or you use a GlobalMaxPooling1D or a GlobalAveragePooling1D instead of Flatten.
