Solutions

  1. Use 'linear' or 'conv1d'
  2. Fix typos in the YAML config

Example fix

# before
positionwise_layer_type: dwconv

# after
positionwise_layer_type: linear
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

assert positionwise_layer_type in ('linear', 'conv1d')

Try / catch

try:
    Encoder(**enc_args)
except NotImplementedError as e:
    raise ConfigError(str(e)) from e

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: Constructing the ppg_extractor Encoder with positionwise_layer_type like 'dwconv' or a typo.

Common situations: Copying conformer/ESPnet configs that reference unsupported positionwise layer types.

Understand the failure class

Background: Invalid enum value errors: "Unknown type", "Invalid scope", "must be one of" — when a string is not on the library's allowed list — this error's family across 23 libraries.
