name connect is not defined (terms.to_pattern method)

1

Hi, I am new to prodigy and learning to use the tool.
I want to do text classification and created a dataset with seeds terms. This dataset named pricing_seeds is in prodigy database and can be read with prodigy print-dataset method.
Yet I am unable to use the terms.to_pattern method due to the below error.
In addition I am unable to see the dataset using this snippet

from prodigy.components.db import connect
db = connect()
all_dataset_names = db.datasets
all_dataset_names

I do not understand the problem.
Any help would be much appreciated !

@Prodigy_Spacy> prodigy terms.to-patterns pricing_seeds ./pricing_seeds.jsonl --label PRICING --spacy-model en_core_web_lg

Mhm. That's indeed a strange error. Let's check a few things then.

Could you share your Prodigy version and your Python version? The best what to share this is via:

python --version
python -m pip freeze

One thing; it's possible that this might be a virtualenv issue. Could you ensure that your Prodigy script runs via:

python -m prodigy terms.to-patterns pricing_seeds ./pricing_seeds.jsonl --label PRICING --spacy-model en_core_web_lg
