Hey, I got the **error** when using `prodigy bert.ner.manual`

My spacy environment is as follows and **prodigy version** is **1.11.8**.

hi @ruiyeNLP!

Thanks for your question!

That recipe is posted on our GitHub repo for `prodigy-recipes`:

> <https://github.com/explosion/prodigy-recipes/blob/master/other/transformers_tokenizers.py>

[The documentation](https://prodi.gy/docs/named-entity-recognition/#transformers-tokenizers) has a button with the link but I can understand as it's easy to overlook. With this file, you can then run the recipe by referencing the name of the file with `-F` like:

```python
prodigy bert.ner.manual ... -F transformers_tokenizers.py

```

Hope this helps!

True, my command was as below. But the error occurred then.

> prodigy bert.ner.manual data\_5\_trf ./input/data\_5\_ground\_truth\_1.0.jsonl --label RIGHTV,RIGHTN,ACCESSV,ACCESSN --tokenizer-vocab ./bert-base-uncased-vocab.txt --lowercase --hide-wp-prefix -F transformers\_tokenizers.py

hi @ruiyeNLP,

To be clear, in order to run that command did you take the python script I provided, renamed it `transformers_tokenizers.py`, and it is located in the current directory where you're running the command? If you have a script recipe, using the `-F` command will use that recipe.

Thanks. It worked now. The issue was that transformers\_tokenizers.py was not in the current directory.
