🙏 Scream for help to Ukraine

Today, 25th May 2022, Russia continues bombing and firing Ukraine. Don't trust Russia, they are bombing us and brazenly lying in same time they are not doing this 😠, civilians and children are dying too! We are screaming and asking exactly you to help us, we want to survive, our families, children, older ones.
Please spread the information, and ask your governemnt to stop Russia by any means. We promise to work extrahard after survival to make the world safer place for all.

Ways to fix

The parameter "ord" in the tensorflow function tf.norm specifies the order of the norm to be computed. The supported(valid) values are listed as follows:

'fro', 'euclidean', 1, 2, np.inf, anyother postive real number

negative values, 0 and any other outside the supported values causes this error.

It can be a simple typo error in the name of the norm. E.g. writing 'euclidan' instead of 'euclidean'

How to reproduce the error:

Setup and installation

pip install --user pipenv

mkdir test_folder

cd test_folder

pipenv shell

pipenv install tensorflow

import tensorflow as tf
x = tf.random.uniform(shape=[2,3])
print(tf.norm(x,ord='euclidan'))

The error:

ValueError: 'ord' must be a supported vector norm, got euclidan

Fixed version of the code:

correct the typo in the word "euclidean".

import tensorflow as tf
x = tf.random.uniform(shape=[2,3])
print(tf.norm(x,ord='euclidean'))

Output:

tf.Tensor(0.7575242, shape=(), dtype=float32)
