I'm wondering if I've run into a bug, or am not understanding something correctly. In a pre_execute_callback in a pipeline step, I am calling model.get_local_copy() on a clearml.Model . The docs say this:

Retrieve a valid link to the model file(s). If the model URL is a file system link, it will be returned directly. If the model URL is points to a remote location (http/s3/gs etc.), it will download the file(s) and return the temporary location of the downloaded model.

In this case, the model is a file system link. Printing out model.url right before the call to model.get_local_copy() is giving me file:///home/c.miles/<rest_of_path/model.tckpt (and indeed that file exists). However, the call to model.get_local_copy(raise_on_error=True) returns a ValueError:
Could not retrieve a local copy of model weights <hash>, failed downloading file:///home/c.miles/<rest_of_path>/model.tckptBut, this is just a file system link, why is it not being returned directly?
