Traceback error

Hey guys,

I am totally new to W&B. I am getting a Traceback error when I want to run “wandb.init(project=”…“)”. Last week it still did work. Any tips what to do?? Thank you so much.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi @pthielge!

Thanks for writing in, and I am sorry you are facing issues over here. There could be a few issues that could cause this error to show up in your program. Could you share some more information with me so that we could narrow down the scope of this error?

  • What version of wandb are you using?
  • What operating system are you running this script on?
  • There should be a folder called wandb in your working directory with multiple sub-folders of the format run-<DATETIME>-<ID>, could you share the debug.log and debug-internal.log files from the folder corresponding to this run ID?

Thanks,
Ramit

Hi Ramit,

thanks for your reply. I’m using version ‘0.13.2’ in JupyterLab in Windows 11. Somehow, there is only a debug.log and no debug-internal.log file, so I will append it here.

Thanks,

Philip

Hey @pthielge,

Thanks for the logs! Is this an error that you see consistently across the runs or is this just a one-off event? Looks like the communication we set up between your program and our server was dropped, so I don’t expect this to happen consistently.

Thanks,
Ramit

​Hi @pthielge,

We wanted to follow up with you regarding your support request as we have not heard back from you. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance or if your issue has been resolved.

Hi,

thanks for your reply @ramit_goolry. It seems you’re right, some temporary connection problem. I had this issue for 2 days, and then suddenly it was no longer there, without changing the code.

Thank you so much. Best regards!

Got it! In that case, I’ll go ahead and close out this support request. In case this issue shows up again, please let us know!

Thanks,
Ramit
