tf.compat.v1.flags.mark_flag_as_required

Ensures that flag is not None during program execution.

tf.compat.v1.flags.mark_flag_as_required(
    flag_name, flag_values=_flagvalues.FLAGS
)

Registers a flag validator, which will follow usual validator rules. Important note: validator will pass for any non-None value, such as False, 0 (zero), '' (empty string) and so on.

If your module might be imported by others, and you only wish to make the flag required when the module is directly executed, call this method like this::

if __name__ == '__main__':
  flags.mark_flag_as_required('your_flag_name')
  app.run()
