torch.jit.frontend.NotSupportedError: Compiled functions can't take variable number of arguments or use keyword-only arguments with defaults:

I am trying to save a model using torch.jit.script in the following code:</p>

    	traced_script_module = torch.jit.script(model)# save the converted model

username: wanchaol
cooked: <p>Is the DarkNet the thing you want to script for? Can you provide a smaller example for easier navigation?</p>

Is there anything that I can do from my side to help you navigate through the code and realize my problem?</p>

username: wanchaol
cooked: <p>HI <a class="mention" href="/u/baheytharwat">@baheytharwat</a>, sorry I haven’t got time to debug the issue out as the model is a big large, I will continue do it next week. It would be nice if you could provide a minimal repro, that could help on debug and fix <img src="https://discuss.pytorch.org/images/emoji/apple/slight_smile.png?v=9" title=":slight_smile:" class="emoji" alt=":slight_smile:"></p>
