Subprocess SnipsNLU went defunct

[oliverrahner]

I just set up a fresh alice environment. After starting, I noticed that the SnipsNLU service is constantly "crashing".

After investigating, I found that the snips-nlu binary is being called like this:

snips-nlu -a /home/pi/ProjectAlice/assistant --mqtt localhost:1883

This does not seem to be the right sytnax to call it? When trying it manually, I receive the following:

# snips-nlu -a /home/pi/ProjectAlice/assistant --mqtt localhost:1883
usage: python -m snips_nlu [-h] [-v] command [options ...] ...
python -m snips_nlu: error: argument command [options ...]: invalid choice: '/home/pi/ProjectAlice/assistant' (choose from 'generate-dataset', 'train', 'parse', 'download', 'download-all-languages', 'download-entity', 'download-language-entities', 'link', 'cross-val-metrics', 'train-test-metrics', 'version', 'model-version')

Am I missing something?

I am on stable and the unit has been set up using AliceCLI.

This happens because I have been starting alice with python main.py from inside the venv.
The venv contains its own bin/snips-nlu file which is a completely different one than /usr/bin/snips-nlu.
After manually removing venv/bin/snips-nlu, the error disappears.

... hitting "Train Assistant" in the Web-UI admin section, alice expects the other snips-nlu to be there?

[SnipsNlu] Error while training Snips NLU: error: Found argument 'train' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

Snips NLU vs Snips NLU... Yep... There's one to train, the other to do the work. And they had them named the same...
