AgitatedDove14 You are right. I confused myself by making a minor error in passing flags.

Pass this to the func_step
docker_args="--env CLEARML_AGENT_SKIP_PYTHON_ENV_INSTALL=1",

TroubledHedgehog16 if you have a preinstalled conda env then why would you need to reinstall it from yml file? Also if this is the default python env, clearml-agent will inherit from it and use i, (no real overhead there)
Notice the reason for "inheriting system" python environments is so that the agent could cache the individual Task requirements, meaning next time it will not need to reinstall anything
wdyt?

but how pass the file as argument, idk

you can do it with docker_bash_setup_script where you run conda install what you need

Amazing. Thanks! Is there a similar setting available for conda mode.

Ideally I want to use conda environment.yml instead of a requirements file.
