TypeError: Fetch argument None has invalid type <class 'NoneType'> in train_gpu.py

Hi, I am trying to pre-train XLNet. I am running into Type error when running the script train_gpu.py .

...
2021-07-09 14:39:42.530225: W tensorflow/compiler/jit/mark_for_compilation_pass.cc:1412] (One-time warning): Not using XLA:CPU for cluster because envvar TF_XLA_FLAGS=--tf_xla_cpu_global_jit was not set.  If you want XLA:CPU, either set that envvar, or use experimental_jit_scope to enable XLA:CPU.  To confirm that XLA is active, pass --vmodule=xla_compilation_cache=1 (as a proper command-line flag, not via TF_XLA_FLAGS) or set the envvar XLA_FLAGS=--xla_hlo_profile.

TypeError: Fetch argument None has invalid type <class 'NoneType'>

I think it is because that run method return None value. But I have no idea why it return None value and how to fix it.

Thanks for your help in advance.
