but i still think the same should be possible using the Task.init

no i don't think so, i think rather Task.init is only used for running outside of agent

and also, on the tutorials that do something with task.init, the example always talks about running locally and not in the agent

hello, i'm still not able to save clearml models. They are generated and registered okay, but they are not on the fileserver. i now have Task.init(output_uri=True) and i also have --skip-task-init in clearml commandline so that it doesn't overwrite the task.init call

task = Task.init(project_name='examples', task_name='moemwap', output_uri=True, reuse_last_task_id=False)

i added --skip-task-init too

this is the output of the training. it doens't try to upload (note that this is my second try so it already found a model with that name, but on my first try it didn't work either)

so it seems that it takes output_uri from the clearml commandline but not from the Task.init inside the scripot

its as if the line is not there

i can pass any crazy value i want.. it doesn't matter. however, i can use --output_uri= s3://blabla and then at least i get the error that it cannot use that bucket

this is my cmdline: clearml-task --name hla --requirements requirements.txt --project examples --output-uri http://clearml-fileserver:8081 --queue aws-instances --script keras_tensorboard.py

but i still think the same should be possible using the Task.init

This is the part the I find confusing:
Task.init(..., output_uri=True) is working for me, what is that setup that caused this line to "fail"?

(same for environment variable)

this is the script shown by clearML ui. so the task.init call looks right

and when i try to use --output-uri i can't pass true because obviously i can't pass a boolean only strings

hmm, that sounds right, I think we should fix that so when using --output-uri true the value that is passed is actually True, not the string "true".
Regrading the issue itself:
are you saying --skip-task-init is being ignored ? and it always adds the Task.init call? you can also pass --output-uri https://files.clear.ml (which is the same as True) , does that work?

don't know.. but i see for instance when using clearml-task i can put any (even nonsensical) values in Task.init

...I'm not sure I follow, the clearml-task is designed to always be used so that at the end the agent will be running the Task. What am I missing?

it was to test if reuse_last_task_id made any effect (i have the impression it doesn't)

the model has this information ... the /tmp seem local URIs suggesting that it doesn't even try to upload them

and if you add --skip-task-init ?
I think what happens is that the clearml-Task, adds a Task.init call without the output_uri that is called before "your" Task.init, and this is what causes it to be ignored. Could that be the case?

i set reuse_last_task_id to false to force creation of a new task in all cases

AgitatedDove14 your trick seems to work (i had to change the url to reflect the fact i run on k8s)

it didn''t make a difference

and ... clearml-agent takes a --project and a --name argument that are mandatory , so these are never taken from Task.init

for comparison: this is when i use --output-uri

this is now in my python script:

it seems that whatever i pass to Task.init is ignored

and when i try to use --output-uri i can't pass true because obviously i can't pass a boolean only strings

well it made a difference (the code for the init() is not added anymore) but it still didn't take my output uri

well it doesn't fail. but whatever i set gets ignored
