Hi Team, I Am Trying To Run A Pipeline Remotely Using Clearml Pipeline And I’M Encountering Some Issues. Could Anyone Please Assist Me In Resolving Them?

Hi Team,

I am trying to run a pipeline remotely using ClearML pipeline and I’m encountering some issues. Could anyone please assist me in resolving them?

Issue 1 : After executing the code, the pipeline is initiated on the “queue_remote_start” queue and the tasks of the pipeline are initiated on the “queue_remote” queue. However, the creation of the dataset failed because it couldn’t find the Python modules from the current directory.

Issue 2 : I also attempted to use the same queue for both pipe.start and pipe.set_default_execution_queue . However, the tasks of the pipeline remained in the pending and queued state and didn’t proceed to the next step.

To run the pipeline remotely, I have created two different queues and assigned a worker to each using the following commands:

clearml-agent daemon --detached --create-queue --queue queue_remote
clearml-agent daemon --detached --create-queue --queue queue_remote_start

I then executed the following command to run the pipeline remotely:

python3 pipeline.py

The code for the Pipeline from Functions is as follows:

# Create the PipelineController object
    pipe = PipelineController(
        name="pipeline",
        project=project_name,
        version="0.0.2",
        add_pipeline_tags=True,
    )

pipe.set_default_execution_queue('queue_remote')

pipe.add_function_step(
    name='step_one',
    function=step_one,
    function_kwargs={
            "train_file": constants.TRAINING_DATASET_PATH,
            "validation_file": constants.VALIDATAION_DATASET_PATH,
            "s3_output_uri": constants.CLEARML_DATASET_OUTPUT_URI,
            "dataset_project": project_name,
            "dataset_name": constants.CLEARML_TASK_NAME,
            "use_dummy_dataset": use_dummy_model_dataset,
        },
        project_name=project_name,
        task_name=create_dataset_task_name,
        task_type=Task.TaskTypes.data_processing,
    )

pipe.start(queue="queue_remote_start")

Could anyone please provide a solution on how to successfully run the pipeline remotely? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@<1523701435869433856:profile|SmugDolphin23> I used clearml==1.13.2 and now I am upgrading to clearml=1.14.1 version.Also I would give extra information about Clearml-server docker-compose file images versions is latest right now.

Oh I see. I think there is a mismatch between some clearml versions on your machine? How did you run these scripts exactly? (like the CLI, for example python test.py ?)

Or if you ran it via an IDE, what is the interpreter path?

@<1626028578648887296:profile|FreshFly37> can you share also logs of task ? It may give an idea.

I just use "pip install clearml" command for sdk.

I ran it via IDE. I am using conda environment and when I list the clearml packages it looks like in the below. The interpreter match with base environment.

Regarding pending pipelines: please make sure a free agent is bound to the queue you wish to run the pipeline in. You can check queue information by accessing the INFO section of the controller (as in the first screenshort)
then by pressing on the queue, you should see the worker status. There should be at least one worker that has a blank "CURRENTLY EXECUTING" entry

@<1523701435869433856:profile|SmugDolphin23> I retry the same scenario with clearml==1.14.1 package but still it does not show me the pipelines not showing in the UI :(

For the clearml-server installation I follow the documentation steps one by one. Link is : None

@<1657556312684236800:profile|ManiacalSeaturtle63> can you share how you are creating your pipeline?

@<1523701435869433856:profile|SmugDolphin23> I have attached two screenshots, One is pipeline initialization & other one is the task of the pipeline.

The project's directory is as follows:
The pipeline.py includes the code to run the pipeline & tasks of the pipeline.

├── Makefile

@<1523701435869433856:profile|SmugDolphin23> Can you please help me out here

  
  
Posted 9 months ago

sure, I'll add those details & check. Thank you

  
  
Posted 9 months ago

Thank you @<1523701435869433856:profile|SmugDolphin23> It is working now after the addition of repo details into each task. It seems that we need to specify repo details in each task to pull the code & execute the tasks on the worker.

When I run it from command line everything return back to normal and pipeline is visible for now. Thank you very much for your helps, time and feedbacks 🙂 @<1523701435869433856:profile|SmugDolphin23>

@<1523701435869433856:profile|SmugDolphin23> I run the code in order to step1, step2 and step3. And then I run the "pipeline_from_task.py" scripts. I follow the ClearML documentation so whole of the codes taken from github repo.

There are two task available in the experiments list as you can see in below. I click the step_1 INFO tab and informations like this. There is no available pipeline controller task maybe thats why UI does not show up the pipeline.

what do you get when you run this code?

from clearml.backend_api import Session
print(Session.check_min_api_server_version("2.17"))
  
  
Posted 9 months ago

how about this one?

import clearml
import os
print("\n".join(open(os.path.join(clearml.__path__[0], "automation/controller.py")).read().split("\n")[310:320]))

It prints "True"

It prints "1.13.3rc0"

This print string like in below. """
if not self._task:
task_name = name or project or '{}'.format(datetime.now())
if self._pipeline_as_sub_project:
parent_project = (project + "/" if project else "") + self._pipeline_section
project_name = "{}/{}".format(parent_project, task_name)
else:
parent_project = None
project_name = project or 'Pipelines'
# if user disabled the auto-repo, we force local script storage (repo="" or repo=False) """

ok, that is very useful actually

@<1523701435869433856:profile|SmugDolphin23> I have tried another way by including pipeline.py in the root directory of the code and executed “python3 pipeline.py” & still faced same issue

how did you install clearml?

@<1626028578648887296:profile|FreshFly37> can you please screenshot this section of the task? Also, how does your project's directory structure look like?

@<1626028578648887296:profile|FreshFly37> how are you running this locally in the first place?
If you are running pipeline.py with cwd as ev_xx_detection/clearml , then I would not expect you to be able to do from ev_xx_detection.clearml import constants (for example), but import constants directly would work (as constants.py is in the same directory as pipeline.py ). The reason your remote run doesn't work is basically because of this:
cwd is ev_xx_detection/clearml and ev_xx_detection.clearml.constants is imported, but the module that should be imported is actually constants

@<1523701435869433856:profile|SmugDolphin23> I have tried the same method as suggested by you and the pipeline still failed, as it couldn't find "modules". Could you please help me here?

I would like to describe the process again, which I was following:

  • I created a queue and assigned 2 workers to the queue.
  • In the pipeline.py file, to start the pipeline I used pipe.start(queue="queue_remote") and for the tasks I used pipe.set_default_execution_queue('queue_remote')
  • In the working_dir = ev_xxxx_xxtion/clearml I executed the code using python3 pipeline.py
  • The pipeline was initiated on queue " queue_remote " on worker 01 & the next tasks were initiated on queue " queue_remote " on worker 02 and it failed, as it couldn't find the modules in worker 02.
