Hi,

I am getting the following error message when I run a sweep with WandB:

`wandb: ERROR Internal wandb error: file data was not synced`

When running the code without a sweep, it works fine, only when I use a sweep I run into this issue. There is no additional information about what went wrong other than a final `BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe`.

Has anyone encountered this issue before and has an idea what might be the problem here? I am using pytorch lightning and wandb version 0.16.1

Many thanks!
