OSError: It looks like the config file at './pretrained_model/wav2vec2-base-960h/config.json' is not a valid JSON file.

I have downloaded wav2vec2-base-960h/config.json from https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h/blob/main/config.json, execute python -m scripts.app and get this error

Have you tried changing this to the exact path in your environment? ./pretrained_model/wav2vec2-base-960h/config.json

[maximofn]

It is not a path problem, I have put the json in ./pretrained_model/wav2vec2-base-960h/. I even added in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/transformers/configuration_utils.py, in line 659 this

            with open(resolved_config_file, "r", encoding="utf-8") as reader:
                print(reader.read())

And print what is inside the json. So it is not a path problem

I ran it in a docker which is documented here https://github.com/maximofn/aniPortrait_docker, in case you want to take a better look at it

You can check with the following steps:

1. make sure pretrained_model/wav2vec2-base-960h/config.json is complete
2. make ure pretrained_model/wav2vec2-base-960h is complete, or you can manual download wav2vec2-base-960h
3. update the veision of json

Thank you, I fixed the error.

The problem was that I was downloading the json like this wget https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h/blob/main/config.json and now I download it like this wget -q https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h/raw/main/config.json.

That is, I changed blob to raw.
