CoreML Export Error: export failure: 'torch._C.Node' object has no attribute 'ival'

[samygarg]

🐛 Bug

I am trying to export the default trained YOLOv5 Model as given here to CoreML but getting an error on both Colab as well as my laptop:

CoreML: export failure: 'torch._C.Node' object has no attribute 'ival'

To Reproduce (REQUIRED)

Follow the steps mentioned here.

Expected behavior

Export the CoreML model successfully.

Environment

Colab and Macbook Pro 13 inch 2019.

Requirements

Python 3.8 or later with all requirements.txt dependencies installed, including torch>=1.7. To install run:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Environments

YOLOv5 may be run in any of the following up-to-date verified environments (with all dependencies including CUDA/CUDNN, Python and PyTorch preinstalled):

• Google Colab and Kaggle notebooks with free GPU:
• Google Cloud Deep Learning VM. See GCP Quickstart Guide
• Amazon Deep Learning AMI. See AWS Quickstart Guide
• Docker Image. See Docker Quickstart Guide

Status

If this badge is green, all YOLOv5 GitHub Actions Continuous Integration (CI) tests are currently passing. CI tests verify correct operation of YOLOv5 training (train.py), testing (test.py), inference (detect.py) and export (export.py) on MacOS, Windows, and Ubuntu every 24 hours and on every commit.

Hey everyone, it appears that optimize_for_mobile from torch is what causes the incompatibility issue with coremltools.

The solution is to comment the line before export. Optimally it should be an arg option, pull request anyone?

yolov5/models/export.py

Line 72 in 33712d6

ts = optimize_for_mobile(ts) # https://pytorch.org/tutorials/recipes/script_optimized.html

Thanks @JorgeCeja, that solution worked for me.

@JorgeCeja It solved the original issue but it still doesn't work. Tried on colab as well as macbook pro.

Here's what I am getting:

@JorgeCeja Can you share your environment? This change fixed the original issue, but I still face the same issue as @samygarg

It seems CoreML export is broken in multiple ways currently. The export did work with the above change until very recently. However only when not specifying --grid, which meant that the Detect module did not get exported. When trying to export with --grid you would get the same export failure at op 730.
Commit b292837 from issue #2982 (from May 3rd) changed the export implementation to export the Detect module by default.

[pocketpixels]

After trying many different previous commits (and different Pytorch versions) today my impression is that exporting the whole network including the Detect module to CoreML probably never worked? If anyone knows of a version/commit (and environment) where it did work I would love to know.
