ImportError: cannot import name 'ParamSpec' from 'typing_extensions' when creating a cluster on Azure

How severe does this issue affect your experience of using Ray?

High: It blocks me to complete my task.

Hello.
I’m having a bit of trouble getting the cluster to work on Azure. The cluster is created successfully and I can attach to it and see the dashboard without any problems, however when I try to check the status or submit some code I always get the following error:

(base) ray@ray-default-head-bd9890040:~$ ray status
No cluster status.
The autoscaler failed with the following error:

Hi @dani. This looks like a version incompatibility with the typing_extensions dependency. I see a similar issue with the Azure SDK and system-installed typing_extensions here.

Could you run pip show typing-extensions and share the output?

cc @gramhagen who knows more about the Azure stack

gramhagen · July 18, 2022, 5:44pm

was this installed from pypi or from local source?

Hi @gramhagen,
I used pypi to install the Ray package.

Stefan-1313 · July 19, 2022, 1:47pm

More specifically, I know Dani used:

pip install ray==1.13.0 
pip install ray[tune]==1.13.0
pip install ray[rllib]==1.13.0

to install Ray.

gramhagen · July 19, 2022, 1:51pm

hmm, it seems like something could be out of sync with the conda env in the rayproject/ray-ml:latest-gpu image

if I use these values in my yaml file I do not see the errors. does this work for you? I’m not sure if reinstalling the azure packages makes the difference or if it’s ray or has to be both.

@gramhagen what could cause the conda env in the rayprojcet/ray-ml:latest-gpu image to be out of sync?

cc @amogkam

Yes the error is gone after adding these lines to the yaml file. Thank you!

gramhagen · July 20, 2022, 1:33pm

it seems like the version of azure packages in the docker image are more recent and could be leading to this issue with the type_extension package.
