Agent not exiting in offline mode

W&B Help
1

When I perform a sweep in offline mode (wandb.init(mode="offline")), the agent never exists and waits for a new job.

this is how I perform my sweep:

def perform_wandb_sweep(configuration) -> None:
    sweep_id = wandb.sweep(configuration,
                                entity=None,
                                project="project")

    wandb.agent(sweep_id,
                function=lambda: perform_wandb_run(),
                entity=None,
                project="project")

def perform_wandb_run() -> None:
    wandb.init(mode="offline")
    """
    compute something
    """

How can I fix that?

Hi @fryderykkogl! Thank you for writing in. Sweeps in offline mode unfortunately does not exist because sweeps needs internet connection in order to figure out the next combination of hyperparameters to call in your training script.
