tf.compat.v1.config.run_functions_eagerly

tf.config.run_functions_eagerly(
    run_eagerly
)

Calling tf.config.run_functions_eagerly(True) will make all invocations of tf.function run eagerly instead of running as a traced graph function.

This can be useful for debugging.

def my_func(a):
 print("Python side effect")
 return a + a
a_fn = tf.function(my_func)

# A side effect the first time the function is traced
a_fn(tf.constant(1))
Python side effect
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=int32, numpy=2>

# No further side effect, as the traced function is called
a_fn(tf.constant(2))
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=int32, numpy=4>

# Now, switch to eager running
tf.config.run_functions_eagerly(True)
# Side effect, as the function is called directly
a_fn(tf.constant(2))
Python side effect
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=int32, numpy=4>

# Turn this back off
tf.config.run_functions_eagerly(False)

Note: This flag has no effect on functions passed into tf.data transformations as arguments. tf.data functions are never executed eagerly and are always executed as a compiled Tensorflow Graph.

Args
run_eagerly	Boolean. Whether to run functions eagerly.
