Are you using a self-hosted server? If so, what's the version? I have a feeling you're running v1.0.1 or v1.0.0 (as the "newer version" message on the top indicates). This error looks exactly like what was fixed on v1.0.2... (see https://clear.ml/docs/latest/docs/release_notes/ver_1_0#clearml-server-102 )

I checked the apiserver.log file in /opt/clearml/logs and this appears to be the related error when I try to publish an experiment:

FYI, I am training the model again, this time in a project which is not nested, just to rule out any funnies with regards to issues with nested projects.

Can you check the browser's "Developer Tools/Network" section and see the exactly API call that's failing? (including the payload sent ion the request)

Hi VivaciousPenguin66 , this looks like an internal error indeed...

Well, I'm not sure, but this error is related to a null value sent as the task's container field (which should be perfectly legal, of course)

Good news!
It looks like pulling the new clearml-server version has solved the problem.
I can happily publish models.

Interestingly, I was able to publish models before using this server, so I must have inadvertently updated something that has caused a conflict.

Hi SuccessfulKoala55
Thanks for the input.
I was actually about to grab the new docker_compose.yml and pull the new images.
Weirdly it was working before, so what's changed?
I don't believe I've updated the agents or the clearml sdk on the experiment submission vm either.
I will definitely update the server now, and report back.
