The format of the wav file is unknown.

[tkeshun]

I get a RuntimeError when I run the fourth Try out random prediction codebase present in test.py. in Setup.
I found that the format of the wav file in data/test was unknown.
I opened this wav file in audacity, but it showed up as a file of unknown format.
Is this wav file the correct one?
Sorry if this is my mistake.
The full text of the error is below.

i guess this is a git-lfs error (do you really have valid files on your disk - did you check the filesize?)

@tkeshun, adding to above comment.

In your repository please try out the following:

git lfs pull

In case this command fails, you need to install git-lfs in your system or upgrade your git version.

Please let us know in case you continue facing the issue.

@skbly7
I got the git-lfs error as you suggested.
Here is what I did.
I checked the file size.

> ls -l * | awk '{print $5}'
132
132
132
132
132

The file size was 132 bytes, which is very small.
I installed git lfs and ran git lfs pull on data/test/Mu - Too Bright.

> ls -l * | awk '{print $5}'

Glad to hear it!

Closing this issue and waiting to see you on the leaderboard soon. 🚀

@skbly7 should we add more docs on git lfs installation requirement?
