Config files are missing --> hydra.errors.MissingConfigException:Cannot find primary config 'sam2_hiera_l.yaml'

[delvingdeep]

While loading sam2 model in predictor, got an error for loading config file:

"hydra.errors.MissingConfigException: Cannot find primary config 'sam2_hiera_l.yaml'. Check that it's in your config search path.

Config search path:
	provider=hydra, path=pkg://hydra.conf
	provider=main, path=pkg://sam2_configs
	provider=schema, path=structured://

sam2 config files at /sam2_configs are missing from hydra config search path.

It would be great if they are added at package level and hence no hydra.errors.MissingConfigException

copy the sam2_configs folder under the root project path

[CoderZhangYx]

modify here.
add relative path to the first param.

I encountered the same problem. I use the code below to solve hydra.errors.MissingConfigException, while a new error occurs: ConfigAttributeError: Key 'endswith' is not in struct .
It seems that the config file cannot be parsed properly.
Can anyone please help?

from hydra import initialize, compose
from sam2.build_sam import build_sam2

config_dir="./sam2_configs"
model_cfg = "sam2_hiera_l.yaml"
sam2_checkpoint = "./checkpoints/sam2_hiera_large.pt"

with initialize(config_path=config_dir):
    cfg = compose(config_name=model_cfg)
    sam2_model = build_sam2(cfg, sam2_checkpoint, device="cuda")

predictor = SAM2ImagePredictor(sam2_model)

you can do
pip show SAM-2
go to the packages path you get
path to packages /site-packages

copy the .yaml config file into sam2_configs under the /site-packages/

then us this code :

sam2_checkpoint = "checkpoints/sam2_hiera_large.pt"
model_cfg = "sam2_hiera_l.yaml"

sam2_model = build_sam2(model_cfg, sam2_checkpoint, device="cuda")

predictor = SAM2ImagePredictor(sam2_model)

You can fix it by reconfiguring the Hydra search path. This worked for me:

import hydra
from sam2.build_sam import build_sam2

# hydra is initialized on import of sam2, which sets the search path which can't be modified
# so we need to clear the hydra instance
hydra.core.global_hydra.GlobalHydra.instance().clear()
# reinit hydra with a new search path for configs
hydra.initialize_config_module('<path-to-sam2_configs>', version_base='1.2')

# this should work now
model = build_sam2('<config-name>', '<checkpoint-path>')

I was able to resolve this issue by building C extensions and placing the complied module in the source directory.

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

copy the sam2_configs folder under the root project path
works for me,thanks

I suggested a fix if anyone is interested:
#188

I fix by placing __init__.py in your root project (assuming that you are storing the .yaml file in the root project too). To be specific, i created a folder sam2_configs too. Here is the folder structure

- __init__.py
- sam2_configs/
   - __init__.py
   - sam2_hiera_l.yaml

I also got this error, although I tried all before mentioned solutions, but nothing worked for me. So, I had a look at the hydra implementation and in the docu of the compose function they mention the following:

def compose(
    config_name: Optional[str] = None,
    overrides: Optional[List[str]] = None,
    return_hydra_config: bool = False,
    strict: Optional[bool] = None,
) -> DictConfig:
    """
    :param config_name: the name of the config
           (usually the file name without the .yaml extension)
    :param overrides: list of overrides for config file
    :param return_hydra_config: True to return the hydra config node in the result
    :param strict: DEPRECATED. If false, returned config has struct mode disabled.
    :return: the composed config
    """

So, I tried
sam2_model = build_sam2("sam2_hiera_s", sam2_checkpoint, device=device, apply_postprocessing=False)
instead of
sam2_model = build_sam2("/PATH_TO_CONFIG/sam2_hiera_s.yaml", sam2_checkpoint, device=device, apply_postprocessing=False)
and everything worked fine. I'm not sure if it is only me, but maybe it helps someone.

just model_cfg = "sam2_hiera_l.yaml" without full path worked for me
