Returns True if executing eagerly, even if inside a graph function.

tf.compat.v1.executing_eagerly_outside_functions()

This function will check the outermost context for the program and see if it is in eager mode. It is useful comparing to tf.executing_eagerly(), which checks the current context and will return False within a tf.function body. It can be used to build library that behave differently in eager runtime and v1 session runtime (deprecated).

Example:

>>> tf.compat.v1.enable_eager_execution()
>>> @tf.function
... def func():
...   # A function constructs TensorFlow graphs, it does not execute eagerly,
...   # but the outer most context is still eager.
...   assert not tf.executing_eagerly()
...   return tf.compat.v1.executing_eagerly_outside_functions()
>>> func()
<tf.Tensor: shape=(), dtype=bool, numpy=True>
