Pytorch tensorboard add_graph Type Error

pang: <p>Hi:<br>
I’m newbie. I get a Type Error when I use tensorboard in pytorch . Here is my code:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">import math

f3ba: <p>Tangential question: Did you have to install tensorboard separately to get pytorch to use it? With pip or conda? THanks!</p>

pang: <p>I have installed tensorboard  with pip.</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">pip install tesorboard
</code></pre>
<p>this work in tesorboard.</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">import torch

from torchvision import datasets, transforms
from torch.utils.data.dataloader import DataLoader

dhirajsuvarna: <p>Is anyone looking at this?<br>
<code>add_graph</code> is defined as -</p>
<p><code>def add_graph(self, model, input_to_model=None, verbose=False):</code></p>
<p>So this states that the second argument <code>input_to_model</code> is optional, so when we do not provide any value to it, it throws an error.</p>
<p>Is this a bug? Should it be raised somewhere else?</p>

jains: <p>I’m experiencing the same issue for a very simple network as well.</p>

aroibu1: <p>I am also experiencing this problem…</p>

nicofirst1: <p>Same problem here with<br>
pytorch 1.7.01<br>
tensorboard 2.4.0</p>
