I really like the first idea, but I already see a problem if I make changes to the file, I will need to re-upload it every time?
I am currently using the repo cache, but unfortunately every time I run a new task with an existing cached repo, a new cache file is created.. very weird behaviour which I have already described in previous threads ( https://clearml.slack.com/archives/CTK20V944/p1651393535530439?thread_ts=1651063782.712379&cid=CTK20V944 )
Hi AbruptWorm50 ,
You can use a stand alone file, this way the file will be saved to the backend and used every time without needing to clone the repo. What do you think?
Also, the repo itself is cached, so each time it will only fetch the delta.
Hi AbruptWorm50
I am currently using the repo cache,
What do you mean by "using the repo cache" ? This is transparent, the agent does that, users should not access that folder?
I also looked at the log you send, why do you think it is re-downloading the repo?
CostlyOstrich36 Another clarification:
The master branch cache is stored at ". clearml/vcs-cache " - the code file doesn't exist there + the problem described above is occuring in this folder (multiple cache files of same repo).
While my branch is stored at " .clearml/venvs-builds/3.7/task_repository/"
I don't know if it has anything to do with it but I now see that the repo which is cloned and save in the cache is actually a different branch than the one which is pulled by the agent.
