I am following this tutorial and doing a project on custom object-detection using tensorflow.

So when I tried to create TF record for the train images using the following command

python3 generate_tfrecord.py --csv_input=data/train_labels.csv --output_path=data/train.record

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "generate_tfrecord.py", line 23, in <module> flags = tf.app.flags
AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'app'

How can I resolve this error?

try using import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf

Which Tensorflow version, are you using? If it is TF2.0 then you need to replace tf.app.flags with tf.compat.v1.flags defined here since it is no longer supported.

use absl if you don't want to downgrade tf.

from absl import app
if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(main)

I also got similar error, then installed tensorflow 1.15 version and it worked with following warning.

WARNING:tensorflow:From generate_tfrecord.py:104: The name tf.app.run is deprecated. Please use tf.compat.v1.app.run instead.

So, if you got this error try using tf.compat.v1.app.run instead of tf.app.run as stated in the warning from tensorflow.
