BUG: Sweep in Jupyter makes new runs impossible to start

Let’s say I’m working on a jupyter notebook and I run a sweep

sweep_id = wandb.sweep(sweep_config, entity=WANDB_ENTITY, project=WANDB_PROJECT, )
wandb_agent = wandb.agent(sweep_id, project=WANDB_PROJECT, function=pipeline)

After an hour I’m happy with the sweep results and I stop execution, not here’s the bug, I CANNOT start a new run manually. Here’s what happens when I run the following code

run = wandb.init()
print(“------ RUN NAME ------”, run.name)
run.finish()

run = wandb.init()
print(“------ RUN NAME ------”, run.name)
run.finish()

Output:


Changes to your `wandb` environment variables will be ignored because your `wandb` session has already started. For more information on how to modify your settings with `wandb.init()` arguments, please refer to the W&B docs.

How do I start a new run without restarting the notebook and starting everything from scratch???

Hi @arkareem

Thank-you for writing in, we will take a look at this for you. Would it be possible for you to share a reproduction of this issue as a Google Colab Notebook? It will help me start off my investigation on my end.

Additionally, the debug.log and debug-internal.log files associated with the affected runs would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Mohammad
