Okay SuccessfulKoala55 , problem solved! Indeed the problem was that there is not .git folder. I updated necessary things to make the checkout action get the actual repo and now it works

It wasn't really clear to me what "standalone" means, maybe it will be better to add to the error

Error: Standalone

(no .git folder found)

script detected 'tasks/hp_optimization.py', but no requirements provided

working directory is the same relative to the script, but the absolute path is different as the github action creates a new environment for it and deletes it after

this means that you supply the machine to execute the actions specified

Why is that an issue?

SuccessfulKoala55

when using the first checkout action, it goes checks out the repo

I'll anonimyze it and paste it in a sec

I can try something with $(pwd)

it is the location of the repo

I also ran it without $(pwd) on the Create Clearml task templates section, I added it because of CostlyOstrich36 's comments but it didn't help

anyway, my ultimate goal is to create templates for other tasks... Is that possible in any other way through the CLI?

Github actions allows to use self hosted runners

so when I'm on the machine through SSH

id did not help

So the question is how come clearml-task can't detect the repo - perhaps the GitHub action checkout doesn't produce a valid for repository and only places the actual files there?

SuccessfulKoala55 ⬆ sorry for the delay, was at a meeting

I can't specify the absolute path, it is dynamically created

I can try do an ls to see what it will print out

and I run these command manually

SuccessfulKoala55 seems like you got it spot on, it contains the entire repo, but no .git directory

So what can we do about it? All I want is to create templates for some tasks, so I can later execute them through a Pipelinecontroller

WackyRabbit7 can I see the exact setup when running as a GitHub action? What are the arguments for clearml-task exactly? What is the working directory?

🙂

$(pwd)/tasks/hp_optimization.py

Is this the location of the repository? Or a single, completely standalone file?

but when it is executed through github actions, I get this error

it works without any problem

Cool! Just to explain, it means clearml-task did not detect a repository (indeed it was not a repository, just a folder with files...), and thus could not deduce the requirements. Standalone means "just a single script to run from some file", but it's still not clear to me why, upon deciding this was not a repository, clearml-task failed to analyze the actual file itself

Can you try and specify the exact absolute path? I think that might be the problem.

I executed it now with full path, using $(pwd)

to see if it contains the .git folder

even if it is so
