Problem while running inference

[kusstox]

If I run the following inference on my own dataset (which is for testing purposes the same as the classical MVTec AD) command, I get the error:

python tools/inference/lightning_inference.py --config configs\model\padim.yaml --weights results\padim\mvtec\wood\weights\model-v3.ckpt --input datasets\MVTec\wood\test\scratch

raise ConfigKeyError(f"Missing key {key!s}")
omegaconf.errors.ConfigAttributeError: Missing key dataset
full_key: dataset

Any ideas how to solve it?

Hey @kusstox
It looks to me like you're trying to run this on windows and in your inference command

python tools/inference/lightning_inference.py --config configs\model\padim.yaml --weights results\padim\mvtec\wood\weights\model-v3.ckpt --input datasets\MVTec\wood\test\scratch

you are misplacing '\' with '/' . Try correcting these simply and your error might be resolved.
if still getting errors do comment down with newer logs.

@ashwinvaidya17 Please close this issue as the error might be in the input command only.

In addition to what @Owaiskhan9654 suggested, another issue is the configuration file. If you want to use the old CLI such as python tools/inference/lightning_inference.py, the location of the correct config file is anomalib/models/padim/config.yaml.

So, the command to run the inference would be

python tools/inference/lightning_inference.py \
   --config anomalib/models/padim/config.yaml \
   --weights results/padim/mvtec/wood/weights/model-v3.ckpt \
   --input datasets/MVTec/wood/test/scratch

Of course, depending on the OS / could be replaced by \.

The config files location in ./config directory is for the new CLI as shown in here.
