tensorboard: error: invalid choice: 'code' (choose from 'serve', 'dev') - while trying to run tensorboard

Question

When I try to run tensorboard using the command

(tensorflow) C:\Users\ANVAY>tensorboard --logdir=D:\Documents\Vs code python\my_log_dir

in the anaconda prompt after I have activated tensorflow, I get this error:

(tensorflow) C:\Users\ANVAY>tensorboard --logdir=D:\Documents\Vs code python\my_log_dir

Package versions:
Tensor Flow Version: 2.1.0
Keras Version: 2.2.4-tf
Python 3.7.7 (default, May 6 2020, 11:45:54) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)]

I have also tried using the following commands but get the same error

tensorboard --logdir D:\Documents\Vs code python\my_log_dir  
python -m tensorboard.main --logdir=D:\Documents\Vs code python\my_log_dir

One thing that I noticed while trying to make this work is, in the file tensorboard-script.py under the directory C:\Users\ANVAY\miniconda3\envs\tensorflow\Scripts I get this warning [ unresolved import 'tensorboard.main'Python(unresolved-import) ]
and also in the file main.py under the directoryC:\Users\ANVAY\miniconda3\envs\tensorflow\Lib\site-packages\tensorboard, I get a similar warning

I have no problems with training models and other stuff.

Answer 1

From Comments

The problem is the spaces in the path, try with --logdir="D:\Documents\Vs code python\my_log_dir"(paraphrased from Dr. Snoopy)

Answer 2

I got this error when I entered the argument as --log-dir instead of --logdir.
