Related: Unable to manage columns in project run table - #4 by artsiom
I was unable to make step metric columns visible in the Table view. I tried logging metrics both via run.log and wandb.log, as well as refreshing the page in my browser. When attempting to drag and drop a column name from “Hidden Columns” to “Visible Columns” (see the screenshot), a gap is created, but on mouse release the column name returns to “Hidden Columns”. Clicking on column names to move them to “Visible” does not work either. The logged values appear in the web interface elsewhere. Manipulation with non-metric columns (e.g. config values, name, state etc) worked flawlessly as expected.
The problem remained for a fraction of a minute after I logged a summary metric using wandb.summary[...] = .... In particular, I tried moving all columns by pressing “Show all”, but without any visible result, and I closed the pop-up (on the screenshot). Suddenly, after 10 or so seconds, all columns became visible.
The problem is similar to the one in the linked post. Unlike there, in my case, refreshing the web-page did not seem to help. I’ll take a wild guess and suggest possible reasons for the bug:
- Something was going on in your back-end, and I had to wait till all necessary data validation or calculations are completed that would enable adding metric columns. This is unacceptably long time (several minutes), within which I was able to read relevant reference, search issues, and do a couple of empty test runs to see what’s going on.
- There is a bug which prevents conversion step metrics to summary metrics unless at least one summary metric is explicitly added via
wandb.summary.
I hope you will be able to get to the bottom of it and fix it.
I hope this helps.
