error during running 03_03_vae_digits_train.ipynb

[krv76]

I've got the following output in cell containing

vae.train(     
    x_train[:1000]
    , batch_size = BATCH_SIZE
    , epochs = EPOCHS
    , run_folder = RUN_FOLDER
    # , print_every_n_batches = PRINT_EVERY_N_BATCHES
    , initial_epoch = INITIAL_EPOCH
)

Could you help me with this? (03_01_autoencoder_train.ipynb works fine; replacing VariationalAutoencoder with models.AE.Autoencoder also helps but I still can't pass through most of book examples; output is pretty big, last line looks the most informative but I can't figure out how to repair this notebook).

TypeError: Cannot convert a symbolic Keras input/output to a numpy array. This error may indicate that you're trying to pass a symbolic value to a NumPy call, which is not supported. Or, you may be trying to pass Keras symbolic inputs/outputs to a TF API that does not register dispatching, preventing Keras from automatically converting the API call to a lambda layer in the Functional Model.

I found the solution here Solved this by adding the statements

from tensorflow.python.framework.ops import disable_eager_execution
disable_eager_execution()

at the beginning of the notebook.
