Hi everyone, I am trying to sweep my hyperparameters for my TensorFlow model. I am using Bayes as the sweeping method. In my `train()` function, I have several `.fit()` methods as I am training a progressive GAN and I am required to call `model.fit()` several times. After completing the first `model.fit()` successfully, the error ```auto Waiting for W&B process to finish... (failed 1) ``` What should I do? I followed this tutorial here to use Wandb sweeps: [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/wandb/examples/blob/master/colabs/tensorflow/Hyperparameter_Optimization_in_TensorFlow_using_W%26B_Sweeps.ipynb#scrollTo=_7eXIA019vAG) And here is a look at my `sweep_train()` function: ```auto def sweep_train(config_defaults=None): # Initialize wandb with a sample project name run = wandb.init(config=config_defaults, resume=True) pgan = PGAN(latent_dim = NOISE_DIM, d_steps = wandb.config.D_STEPS) cbk = GANMonitor(num_img = NUM_IMGS_GENERATE, latent_dim = NOISE_DIM) cbk.set_steps(steps_per_epoch = STEPS_PER_EPOCH, epochs = wandb.config.EPOCHS) # 110, 6 cbk.set_prefix(prefix='0_init') train(wandb.config.G_LR, wandb.config.D_LR, wandb.config.R_LR, wandb.config.EPOCHS, wandb.config.D_STEPS, cbk, pgan) run.finish() ``` ---

Hello @aryamohan23! Is there more details to the traceback such as right before `Waiting for W&B process to finish... (failed 1)`? There should be a traceback into the code detailing what error is causing the project to fail. W&B will also upload all runs regardless of status (success, failed, crashed, etc.) so the `(failed 1)` message is indicating the state of the run. ---

Hello, sorry for the delay. I get this error: `wandb: ERROR Dropped streaming file chunk (see wandb/debug-internal.log)` I realized it was a network issue and so i set my wandb to offline mode. But even when I try to sync it with a `wandb sync` i get the same error. ---

Hello Arya! Could you provide the `debug.log` and `debug-internal.log` fore the run? They should be located in the `wandb` folder in the same directory as where the script was run. The `wandb` folder has folders formatted as `run-DATETIME-ID` associated with a single run. Could you retrieve the `debug.log` and `debug-internal.log` files from one of these folders specifically from the run that is having issues? ---

Hello, sorry to come back to this late. I seem to have resolved this one issue, it seems to just a VPN issue. However, now my logged images are not reflectibng on the ‘Charts’ tab on my dashboard, even though all my images can be seen in the ‘files’ tab. The run also shows as ‘crashed’ even though the files are logged. Attached the debug and debug-internal files: [debug-internal](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V692jCGDPkgrtJOVM7bGPrqFEi2GikYZ/view?usp=sharing) [debug](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dG6-PWeJhRLVzDhTOBLIpi9N20tVMk6-/view?usp=sharing) Thanks in advance ---
