Hi,  
I do the food demo (16.03.2020) but once I start-up the server the proposed terms are not visible in the text bar (right window, top bar). When I select or reject the unknown word it does show the word I accepted/rejected correctly in the lhs history. You can find numerous hacks around it (check the score & sense), but that's not the idea. The terms itself are stored correctly in the dBase, and the conversion to patterns also works fine.

I have the latest version of all SW. The model file is different though. It's not ./s2v\_reddit\_2015\_md, but s2v\_reddit\_2015\_md/s2v\_old

so, confused. What do I do wrong?

Running Ubuntu 18.02, Prodigy 2.9.9

Hi! I think you might be hitting this:

> Okay, so this is very mysterious, but I think I might have figured out what's happening here: Does the prodigy.json used in your Docker container by any chance specify a "html\_template" value? The sense2vec recipes use the a [custom "html\_template"](https://github.com/explosion/sense2vec/blob/5a034ae63db3cdb572ad0cff356287e8345a7bca/sense2vec/prodigy_recipes.py#L154) to define how to display the word and optional sense in the UI. The global or local prodigy.json lets you override defaults defined in recipes (which can make sense for stuff like styling and other behaviours). But if it's overriding something like t…

Check if your `prodigy.json` contains an `"html_template"` value and if so, remove it, because it'd otherwise overwrite the template used in the recipe. I've already added a warning for this in the upcoming Prodigy v1.10, so Prodigy will tell you if your config is overwriting something it probably shouldn't.

Hi Ines,

your suggestion did the trick. I removed html\_template entry from the config file.

Thanks,

Andreas
