Hi guys, I encountered a very frustrating problem about virtual enviroment management when I use ClearML. I use virtualenv to create a new python env and installed all the needed python pakcages in the env. The env path is /general-user/frank/mlflow_ray/env (so the python binary is /general-user/frank/mlflow_ray/env/bin/python ). I source the env and run python trian.py ... and the task and all the metrics and models are logged into ClearML webapp.

Now I clone the experiment/task on the ClearML webapp, and clear all the preinstall packages, and enqueue the task into a queue. The task is executed but failed to run because ClearML want to create a another new virtual env and it do not reuse I preinstalled one.

So, how can I set ClearML conf to reuse the preinstalled one?

Yes, I think you are right. Just set export CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PIP_VENV_INSTALL= /home/bar/env/bin/python3 .

I don't think you need to mix. For example if you have a pre-prepared environment then it should something like export CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PIP_VENV_INSTALL=<PATH_TO_ENV_BINARY>

The official doc just gives too much choices but less details about how to set them and the relationships.

Thank you CostlyOstrich36 What's the difference between the two environment variables?
Shall I set export CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PIP_VENV_INSTALL=/home/bar/env/bin/python3 or
export CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PYTHON_VENV_INSTALL=/home/bar/env/bin/python3 or
export CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PIP_VENV_INSTALL=/home/bar/env and
export CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PYTHON_VENV_INSTALL=/home/bar/env/bin/python3

Hi ThoughtfulBadger56 ,

I think these are a the environment variables you're looking for:
CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PIP_VENV_INSTALL CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PYTHON_ENV_INSTALL
