PyTorch : error message "torch has no [...] member"

Question

Good evening, I have just installed PyTorch 0.4.0 and I'm trying to carry out the first tutorial "What is PyTorch?" I have written a Tutorial.py file which I try to execute with Visual Studio Code

Here is the code :

from __future__ import print_function import torch  print (torch.__version__)  x = x = torch.rand(5, 3) print(x) 

Unfortunately, when I try to debug it, i have an error message : "torch has no rand member"

This is true with any member function of torch I may try

Can anybody help me please?

Answer 1

In case you haven't got a solution to your problem or someone else encounters it.

The error is raised because of Pylint (Python static code analysis tool) not recognizing rand as the member function. You can either configure Pylint to ignore this problem or you can whitelist torch (better solution) to remove lint errors by adding following to your .pylintrc file.

[TYPECHECK]  # List of members which are set dynamically and missed by Pylint inference # system, and so shouldn't trigger E1101 when accessed. generated-members=numpy.*, torch.* 

In Visual Studio Code, you could also add the following to the user settings:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": [ "--generated-members=numpy.* ,torch.*" ] 

The issue is discussed here on PyTorch GitHub page.

Fast solution from pylint no member issue but code still works vscode

Press: CTRL + Shift + P  Click on "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"  Add this line into JSON : "python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--generate-members"]
