model_backend argument doesn't handle spaces (even properly quoted)

Am I doing something wrong here? I can escape the space with the shell, too, and it still breaks. Works fine if I remove the space in the assignment of model_backend_name in exllamav2/class.py.

I have the same problem, you can modify your "play.sh" with

#!/bin/bash
export PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1
if [ ! -f "runtime/envs/koboldai/bin/python" ]; then
./install_requirements.sh cuda
fi
bin/micromamba run -r runtime -n koboldai python aiserver.py "$@"

Then you can lunch with --model_backend 'ExLlama V2'

Aah, thanks! It is obvious in retrospect, I'm amused I didn't think of that.

[BlairSadewitz]

oh, BTW, FWIW, I got so annoyed at the fact that ./install_requirements.sh had to run the thing twice because of that bug I was like "Ok, that's IT. NEVER AGAIN. There MUST be a way to do this." And so I thought about how I created micromamba environments and changed it to do it this way, and it works. As to WHY, well, that is way above my pay grade ($0).

MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX="${PWD}/runtime"
if [[ $1 = "cuda" || $1 = "CUDA" ]]; then
wget -qO- https://micromamba.snakepit.net/api/micromamba/linux-64/latest | tar -xvj bin/micromamba
bin/micromamba create -f environments/huggingface.yml -r ${MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX} -p ${MAMBA_ROOT_PREFIX}/envs/koboldai -y
