Hi, I’m trying to submit my assignment Basics with Numpy, but I always get the following error:

image694×264 6.83 KB

I already tried several things, which are mentioned in other questions:

  • renaming the python notebook from Week 2/Python Basics with Numpy/Python_Basics_With_Numpy_v3a.ipynb to Week 2/Python Basics with Numpy/Python_Basics_With_Numpy.ipynb
  • Getting the latest version of the assignment
  • trying different browsers

The same issue seems to apply for all my assignments. I’m not able to submit any assignment. How can I solve this? Is there any idea, what I can do to check what is going wrong? The error message shown above is not really helpful.

Strange :thinking::thinking:

@Mubsi! Could you please guide further.

Thanks @saifkhanengr, I’ll take a look.

@krueger, I have sent you a DM regarding this.

I’ve never seen that error message before. My guess would be that there is something pretty serious syntactic that is wrong with your notebook. Note that there is one cell that throws an error that you may need to comment out before submitting to the grader: the one that uses math.exp with a vector input.

The other thing to try is to remove your generated output by doing this:

Kernel -> Restart and Clear Output
Save
Submit

The point is that the grader does not need to see your generated output: it only needs to call your functions.

If that still doesn’t work, then the question is whether you’ve used any tools other than the course website to work on the notebook. For example, downloading it and then running it on Colab and then re-uploading it to the course website is a disaster. That’s because Colab overwrites some of the “metadata” in the JSON file in a way that makes it invalid in the context of the course website.

But I’m sure Mubsi will be able to figure this out!

Thanks @paulinpaloalto and @saifkhanengr.

I forgot to update here.

Lars is enrolled in, which I believe is, the “German” version of DLS. This is a similar case we had with a learner who was enrolled in the “Chinese” version. I have no idea how to help with this, as I’m not familiar with the structure or behind the scenes of this version of the course.

I suggested, and Lars accepted, a request has been made to migrate him to the “standard” version of the course, so that all the mentors and myself can better help going forward with any issues the learner encounters.

UPDATE: I have been notified that the learner has been enrolled in the English version of the course.

Yes I changed to the english version of the course and there all submits are working as expected. Thanks @Mubsi
