Accelerate.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'logging_dir'

[DavidGill159]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to train an unconditional diffusion model on a greyscale image dataset. I am using diffusers_training_example.ipynb on Google Colab connected to my local GPU. When running the ‘Let's train!’ cell I am getting this Accelerate error. Initially, I tried downgrading my Accelerate from 1.3.0 to 0.3.0 and 0.27.0 as some forums suggested but this made no difference. Any advice would be great! Thank you.

Reproduction

Run through the google colab notebook up until the training cell. Ensure you are running on a local GPU and using greyscale images.

Can you link to the notebook you're using? The provided link is for documentation and leads to examples/unconditional_image_generation/train_unconditional.py which has up-to-date usage of accelerate.

diffusers/examples/unconditional_image_generation/train_unconditional.py

Line 277 in 4ace7d0

accelerator_project_config = ProjectConfiguration(project_dir=args.output_dir, logging_dir=logging_dir)

diffusers/examples/unconditional_image_generation/train_unconditional.py

Lines 280 to 286 in 4ace7d0

	accelerator = Accelerator(
	gradient_accumulation_steps=args.gradient_accumulation_steps,
	mixed_precision=args.mixed_precision,
	log_with=args.logger,
	project_config=accelerator_project_config,
	kwargs_handlers=[kwargs],
	)

diffusers also needs updating in your environment: pip install -U diffusers.

@hlky Hi, See below. I have had to make some adjustments to the original notebook to accommodate using a local GPU, my greyscale images and troubleshoot additional issues such as incompatibilities between hugging face versions and diffusers. Any troubleshooting I have done is commented with 'DG - TROUBLESHOOT'.

Thanks!

I've updated the notebook here huggingface/notebooks#550
