Ensures that flag is not None during program execution.
tf.compat.v1.flags.mark_flag_as_required(
flag_name, flag_values=_flagvalues.FLAGS
)
Registers a flag validator, which will follow usual validator rules. Important note: validator will pass for any non-None value, such as False, 0 (zero), '' (empty string) and so on.
It is recommended to call this method like this:
if name == '__main__': flags.mark_flag_as_required('your_flag_name') app.run()
Because validation happens at app.run() we want to ensure required-ness is enforced at that time. You generally do not want to force users who import your code to have additional required flags for their own binaries or tests.
flag_name
: str, name of the flagflag_values
: flags.FlagValues, optional FlagValues instance where the flag
is defined.AttributeError
: Raised when flag_name is not registered as a valid flag
name.
