Text generation with an RNN - error in the model class

class MyModel(tf.keras.Model):
  def __init__(self, vocab_size, embedding_dim, rnn_units):
    super().__init__(self)
    self.embedding = tf.keras.layers.Embedding(vocab_size, embedding_dim)
    self.gru = tf.keras.layers.GRU(rnn_units,
                                   return_sequences=True,
                                   return_state=True)
    self.dense = tf.keras.layers.Dense(vocab_size)

  def call(self, inputs, states=None, return_state=False, training=False):
    x = inputs
    x = self.embedding(x, training=training)
    if states is None:
      states = self.gru.get_initial_state(x)
    x, states = self.gru(x, initial_state=states, training=training)
    x = self.dense(x, training=training)

    if return_state:
      return x, states
    else:
      return x

model = MyModel(
    vocab_size=vocab_size,
    embedding_dim=embedding_dim,
    rnn_units=rnn_units)

TypeError: Layer.init() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

The reported failure is in the MyModel definition shown in the issue, at the superclass initialization call. Start by reproducing model creation with the supplied snippet and checking the Keras Layer/Model constructor signature. Done means the model instantiates without the reported TypeError and the text-generation example proceeds past initialization.
