Disabling glove vectors in Spacy 1.1 gives an error

[AliFlux]

According to #506, there is a way to ignore vectors while loading spacy using:
spacy.load('en', vectors=False), but apparently it throws an error, as tested on Spacy 1.1.

nlp = spacy.load('en', vectors=False) # start spacy (english)
  File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\spacy\__init__.py", line 38, in load
    'Could not load data pack %s from %s' % (overrides['vectors'], data_path))
OSError: Could not load data pack False from C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\site-packages\spacy\data

My stack:

• Operating System: Windows 10
• Python Version: 3.5.2
• spaCy Version: 1.1

Does anyone else face such an issue? @honnibal?

Hi,

Could you retest with spaCy 1.6?

I'm getting the same in spaCy 1.6 on OSX with python 3.5.2

Getting the same error using Python 2.7 on Ubuntu (spaCy version 1.6.0)

Closing this and making #1046 the master issue. Work in progress for spaCy v2.0!
