How Come

How come PipelineController has changed in a very backwards-incompatible fashion but we are still on the same major version? O_O

Also the documentation is not reflective of this

Does it mean that if it is set to False I need an agent but if I set it to True I don't need one?

Yes it is a common case but I think the pipe.start_locally(run_pipeline_steps_locally=False) solved it. I started running it again and it seems to have passed the phase where it failed last time

Yes very much

what does it mean to run the steps locally?

start_locally : means the pipeline code itself (the logic that runs / controls the DAG) runs on the local machine (i.e. no agent), but this control logic creates/clones Tasks and enqueues them, for those Tasks you need an agent to execute them
run_pipeline_steps_locally=True: means the Tasks the pipeline creates, instead of enqueuing them and having an agent runs them, they will be launched on the same local machine (think debugging, otherwise I cannot actually see the value). And to your question yes it means there is no need for an agent.
WackyRabbit7 did that help?

I understand it starts locally... what does it mean to run the steps locally?

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

Yey!

Yes it is a common case....

I have the feeling ShinyLobster84 WackyRabbit7 you are not alone in this one 🙂 let me make sure we change the default value of Yes it is a common case to False, so the code looks cleaner

what is the difference betwee nfalse and true?

I've read that

WackyRabbit7

we did execute locally

Sure, instead of pipe.start() use pipe.start_locally(run_pipeline_steps_locally=False) , this is it 🙂

and we want to continue xecuting locally

Hi Martin,
I upgraded the ClearML version to 1.1.1 and I updated the pipeline code according to v2 as you wrote here and I got a new error which I haven't got before.
Just noting that I did a git push before.
Do you know what can cause this error?
Thanks!

fatal: could not read Username for '

': terminal prompts disabled

This is the main issue, it needs git credentials to clone the repo code, containing the pipeline logic (this is the exact same behaviour as pipeline v1 execute_remotely(), which is now the default, could it be that before you executed the pipeline logic, locally ?)
WackyRabbit7 could the local/remote pipeline logic could apply in your case as well ?

But what does it do?

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

Sorry but its not clear

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

We try to break up every thing into independent tasks and group them using a pipeline. The dependency on an agnet caused an unnecessary overhead since we just want to execute locally. It became a burden once new data scientists join the project and instead of just telling them "yeah, just execute this script" you have to now teach them about clearml, the role of agents, how to launch them, how they behave, how to remove them and stuff like that... things you want to avoid with data scientists

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

Worth mentioning, nothing has changed before we executed this, it worked before and now after the update it breaks

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

we are running the agent on the same machine AgitatedDove14 , it worked before upgrading the clearml... we never set these credentials

awesome martin, thanks

Ohh, sorry 🙂
:param run_pipeline_steps_locally: (default False) If True, run the pipeline steps themselves locally as a subprocess (use for debugging the pipeline locally, notice the pipeline code is expected to be available on the local machine)

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

if I called .start_locally

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

Not sure I understand, if i run pipe.start_locally(run_pipeline_steps_locally=True|False) what is the difference betwee ntrue and false? assuming I want to execute locally

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

That was the idea behind the feature (and BTW any feedback on usability and debugging will be appreciated here, pipelines are notorious to debug 🙂 )

the ability to exexute without an agent i was just talking about thia functionality the other day in the community channel

What would be the use case ? (actually the infrastructure now supports it)

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

WackyRabbit7 interesting! Are those "local" pipelines all part of the same code repository? do they need their own environment ?
What would be the easiest pipeline interface to run them locally? (I would if we could support this workflow, it seems you are not alone in this approach, and of course that you can always use them remotely, i.e. clone the pipeline and launch it on an agent)

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

Is this a common case? maybe we should change the run_pipeline_steps_locally argument to False?
(The idea of run_pipeline_steps_locally=True is that it will be easier to debug the entire pipeline on the same machine)

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

awesome this will help a lot with debugging

  
  
Posted 2 years ago

we did execute locally
