Training stop when load_image throw error

[Matanelc]

Step to reproduce
1.start train
2.have "0" size image.
or
1.start train
2. have missing label for images
in those cases the train is stoped with error :
data = [self.dataset[idx] for idx in possibly_batched_index] File "/app/workspace/utils/datasets.py", line 451, in __getitem__ img, labels = load_mosaic(self, index) File "/app/workspace/utils/datasets.py", line 574, in load_mosaic img, _, (h, w) = load_image(self, index) File "/app/workspace/utils/datasets.py", line 536, in load_image assert img is not None, 'Image Not Found ' + path AssertionError: Image Not Found /app/workspace/data/BBFashion/images/5e4118b37ddc9d75987fa7f3.jpg
why the image is not just getting "skipped" ?

I also have the same error, even though none of my images are nonetype nor my labels are empty.

@Matanelc I'm not sure why I have to explain this to you, but 0 size images will obviously not work correctly. There is no bug.

I know that in darknet the training script just ignores bad annotations and bad images.
The bottom line when dealing with large data there is always a chance of several images going bad.

Thus a training script should be robust and handle these errors instead of making the training fail after a long time of running.

It was also a problem here:
#195

and about the response above
This is open source, people will open bugs because this is how a community works.
You should either grow up and embrace it or take the repo down.

@doronAtuar facilitating silent errors is never best practices.

Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced.
Just because programmers often ignore error messages doesn’t mean the program should stop emitting them. Silent errors can happen when functions return error codes or None instead of raising exceptions. These two aphorisms tell us that it’s better for a program to fail fast and crash than to silence the error and continue running the program. The bugs that inevitably happen later on will be harder to debug since they are far removed from the original cause. Though you can always choose to explicitly ignore the errors your programs cause, just be sure you are making the conscious choice to do so.
