UnevenDolphin73 , can you provide a small snippet of exactly what you were running? Are you certain you can see the task in the UI? Is it archived?

I'm not sure why internally ClearML tries to initialize a task when get_task is called...

I can see the task in the UI, it is not archived, and that's pretty much the snippet, but in full I do e.g.

UnevenDolphin73 , how can you tell that ClearML is trying to initialize a task when get_task is called?

From the traceback ( backend_interface/task/task.py, line 178, in __init__ ), notice it's not Task.init

Can you add a print out to verify that you selected the correct project?

~20

It's a small snippet that ensures identically named projects are still unique'd with a running number.

How many tasks do you figure this thing is iterating through the project?

I have selected the correct project indeed

proj_suffix = "" i = 2 while Task.get_project_id(f"{proj_name}{proj_suffix}") is not None: tasks = Task.get_tasks(project_name=f"{proj_name}{proj_suffix}") if not [task for task in tasks if not task.get_archived()]: # Empty project, we can use this one... break proj_suffix = f"_{i}" i += 1
