Hello everyone,

I’m trying to follow these instructions : [Load pipelines, models, and schedulers](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/using-diffusers/loading)

But I get this :

> > > from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline  
> > > pipeline = DiffusionPipeline.from\_pretrained(“runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5”)  
> > > Fetching 19 files: 100%|███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 19/19 [00:00\<?, ?it/s]

> > > load\_method = getattr(class\_obj, load\_method\_name)  
> > > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
> > > TypeError: attribute name must be string, not ‘NoneType’

It looks like an error in the code but I don’t know much…

Any help would be appreciated, thanks !

These two lines work for me using diffusers 0.14.0, which is the latest version released today. Try updating your library (`pip install diffusers==0.14.0`), just in case.

In the [instructions](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/using-diffusers/loading#loading-pipelines-locally) you mention, the only thing I can read about “access request” says:

> […]if you want to use pipelines that require an access request without having to be connected to the Hugging Face Hub, we recommend loading pipelines locally.

Note that you are giving a repository name to the `from_pretrained()` function, which means that it’s downloading the weights from the hub rather than your local filesystem (you should give it a path for that).

Thanks, updating diffusers made it work!
