here is another failure which sometimes occurs along the pipeline: Launching step [model_training]

Hi @<1543766544847212544:profile|SorePelican79> , can you provide a sample of how this looks? The suggested method is the one in the examples:
None

Hi John. Thanks for your quick response. I looked carefully in the documentation and my use case seems to be standard for clearML. However I get this error message. clearml.Task - ERROR - Failed reloading task

I will add some code here soon.

here comes step 1:

I can also bring attachments here, if it make sense

I also want the subsequent tasks to access artefacts from the pipeline task (the config.yaml) as well as artefacts from prior tasks. Here and then it fails. not always

very strange. Sorry for putting in so much information

this is the pipeline module until step1
