Hi PompousHawk82 ,
Did the clearml-iris.conf file got created?

What you're missing, is that the ClearML Agent --config-file switch only tells the ClearML Agent which config file to use, but it won't affect any task running locally with ClearML SDK (only tasks executed by the ClearML Agent with the --config-file switch)

But are you trying to run the task remotely using the agent?

Oh, I see

It only works that we set the CLEARML_CONFIG_FILE before script running

not actually

oh i see, i’m trying it now

i just tried, but is still open result on public server.

then i run the second one, it basically outputs the same as just init

i tried to add environment right before importing clearml, but it doesn’t work as expected
os.environ['CLEARML_CONFIG_FILE'] = str(Path.home()/f"clearml-{socket.getfqdn()}.conf") from clearml import Task Task.init(project_name="Alfred", task_name="finalized", auto_connect_frameworks={'pytorch': False})

when i run this one clearml-agent --config-file ~/clearml-iris.conf it output the help info

How exactly did you run the task?

Well, theoretically it should work if you set it before importing clearml, but it seems strange to do that in code - what's your use-case?

To make ClearML SDK load an alternative config file, you need to set the environment variable CLEARML_CONFIG_FILE=<path-to-config-file>

i’m not sure if i use the command correctly

i only want to use clearml agent to change the conf file

i was trying to copy the content of that file

i’m setting the environment variable in the python script like this
os.environ['CLEARML_CONFIG_FILE'] = str(Path.home()/f"clearml-{socket.getfqdn()}.conf")then task.init

Did you use it to run a task?

before i renamed it, i can log the experiment successfully, i basically add task.init to the python script then just run that script

yes

OK

but basically i create it by init and rename it
