\*\*tried to upload custom weight for auto-labelling via API in MS Azure following Roboflow’s instruction ([Upload Custom Model Weights | Roboflow Docs](https://docs.roboflow.com/deploy/upload-custom-weights)). \*\*

**I run the script below in Python SDK of MS Azure.**

* * *

import roboflow

rf = roboflow.Roboflow(api\_key=“\*\*\*\*”)

project = rf.workspace().project(“sam\_yolo11\_feb2024\_right\_1frame”)

##can specify weights\_filename, default is “weights/best.pt”

version = project.version(1)

##print(version)

## version.deploy(“yolov11”, “training21/weights”, “best.pt”)

**But the terminal reads below.**

* * *

## (azureml\_py38) azureuser@gpuv100:~/cloudfiles/code/Users/jimin.hwang/sam\_yolo11\_feb2024\_right\_1frame-1$ python 0208\_right\_Auto-labelling.py loading Roboflow workspace… loading Roboflow project… Traceback (most recent call last): File “/mnt/batch/tasks/shared/LS\_root/mounts/clusters/gpuv100/code/Users/jimin.hwang/sam\_yolo11\_feb2024\_right\_1frame-1/0208\_right\_Auto-labelling.py”, line 11, in version.deploy(“yolov11-seg”, “training21”) File “/anaconda/envs/azureml\_py38/lib/python3.9/site-packages/roboflow/core/version.py”, line 568, in deploy if isinstance(model[“model”].names, list): AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘names’

Following AI Help in Roboflow’s document, I tried to modify scripts and make file path right for a lot of hours. But none of them works so far.

Can you give me a help to fix this?
