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

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

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?

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

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

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.
