Okay, I was hoping it would be something easy like that! Now I need to figure out how to export that task id

Great!
BTW: you can take some inspiration from here:
https://github.com/allegroai/trains/blob/master/examples/automation/task_piping_example.py
Or from the full pipeline:
https://github.com/allegroai/trains/blob/master/examples/pipeline/pipeline_controller.py

Now I need to figure out how to export that task id

You can always look it up 🙂
How come you do not have it?

You're not missing anything, I'm just super novice at trains 🙂 thank you

No worries 🙂
Is this what you were looking for ?

task = Task.get_task(project_name='project', task_name='best_model_ever')

This is an entirely automated process, I'm just getting familiar with the APIs here, so one process needs to write the task id to a file and the next needs to read it--I am looking through the docs on how to obtain the task id

It sounds like it exactly, yes! 😂

if you have an automation process, then you should have the Task object, no?
then you have task.id
What am I missing here?

Hi BroadMole98
A bit hacky but doable 🙂
task = Task.get_task(task_id='aabbcc') task.get_logger().report_scalar(...)
