I am having trouble getting image analysis batch processing to work. I would like to send a list of images to DeepFace to get a list of race, gender, and age predictions. I am calling test functions from deepfacemaster/tests/test_analyze.py and the batch specific functions are failing.

When I run:
from test_analyze import test_standard_analyze, test_analyze_for_preloaded_image, test_analyze_for_batched_image_as_list_of_string, test_analyze_for_batched_image_as_list_of_numpy, test_analyze_for_numpy_batched_image
test_standard_analyze()

print(logger)
The first 2 non-batch functions work then test_analyze_for_batched_image_as_list_of_string() fails with:

What am I doing wrong and how can I remedy these errors?
Batch input support is added recently into deepface. It's available in source code but it's not pushed to pip yet. So, if you are using pip package of deepface instead of source code, then it's normal to have this error.
# uninstall existing deepface package
pip uninstall deepface
# pull the latest source code
git clone https://github.com/serengil/deepface.git
# go to deepface source code folder
cd deepface
# install it from source code instead of pip package
pip install -e .
Then, you can run your tests again.
