I have two zip files I want to upload as an artifact (or in any way) to wanbd. I tried: ```auto #%% """ I think artifacts are used per run or something but I will just create one run upload of the zip of the data and figs I made. Then create a report that links to the artifact run. refs: https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/artifacts https://community.wandb.ai/t/how-does-one-manually-upload-a-single-artifact/841 failed artifact push: https://wandb.ai/brando/meta-learning-neurips-workshop/runs/221fe0xw """ from argparse import Namespace from pathlib import Path import wandb import uutils # uutils.setup_args_for_experiment() does the following: # if hasattr(args, 'log_to_wandb'): # if args.log_to_wandb: # # os.environ['WANDB_MODE'] = 'offline' # import wandb # # print(f'{wandb=}') # # # - set run name # run_name = None # # if in cluster use the cluster jobid # if hasattr(args, 'jobid'): # # if jobid is actually set to something, use that as the run name in ui # if args.jobid is not None and args.jobid != -1 and str(args.jobid) != '-1': # run_name: str = f'jobid={str(args.jobid)}' # # if user gives run_name overwrite that always # if hasattr(args, 'run_name'): # run_name = args.run_name if args.run_name is not None else run_name # args.run_name = run_name # # - initialize wandb # wandb.init(project=args.wandb_project, # entity=args.wandb_entity, # # job_type="job_type", # name=run_name, # group=args.experiment_name # ) # wandb.config.update(args) def get_args_for_experiment() -> Namespace: # - get my default args args = uutils.parse_basic_meta_learning_args() args.log_to_wandb = False args.log_to_wandb = True args.wandb_project = 'meta-learning-neurips-workshop' args.experiment_name = 'upload-of-zip-files-synthetic-data-set-all-figs-and-hps' args.run_name = f'{args.experiment_name}_1' args = uutils.setup_args_for_experiment(args) return args def get_zips_paths(): log_root: Path = Path('~/Desktop/').expanduser() dataset_filename: str = 'dataset_LS_fully_connected_NN_with_BN_nb_tasks200_data_per_task1000_l_4_nb_h_layes3_out1_H15.zip' all_figs_zip_filename: str = 'all_ckpts_and_figures.zip' return log_root, dataset_filename, all_figs_zip_filename # wandb.init(job_type="dataset-creation") # done in uutils.setup_args_for_experiment() args = get_args_for_experiment() # https://docs.wandb.ai/ref/python/artifact for Artifact api artifact_data = wandb.Artifact('dataset_LS_fully_connected_NN_with_BN_nb_tasks200_data_per_task1000_l_4_nb_h_layes3_out1_H15.zip', type='dataset-as-zip') artifact_figs = wandb.Artifact('all_figs_for_paper', type='figs-as-zip') # - get zip files to log as artifacts log_root, dataset_filename, all_figs_zip_filename = get_zips_paths() # todo - Imagine more lines of text were added to this text file: (what does this mean?) # artifact.add_file('my-dataset.txt') artifact_data.add_file(log_root / dataset_filename) artifact_figs.add_file(log_root / all_figs_zip_filename) # Log that artifact, and we identify the changed file wandb.log_artifact(artifact_data) wandb.log_artifact(artifact_figs) # todo - Now you have a new version of the artifact, tracked in W&B (don't get it) # - wandb if args.log_to_wandb: wandb.finish() print('Done!') ``` ## but my run is empty…how do I upload my two zip files to wandb?

hu, seems that the only thing I needed was to finish wandb? forgot that part: ```auto # - wandb if args.log_to_wandb: wandb.finish() ``` ---

Hey Brando, sorry about the delay on this. Wanted to confirm that you were able to upload the files. ---
