W&B Help

I am trying to follow the steps here to sync a previously trained TensorBoard log to wandb but I am getting this error:

$ wandb sync <path>
Find logs at: /tmp/debug-cli.melhoushi.log
Found 6 tfevent files in <path>
Exception in thread Thread-1:

Hi @melhoushi ,

Thank you for reaching out for support. I’ll be glad to assist you with your concern. I appreciate you for providing a code snippet and traceback. Can you also provide the following for too please:

  • WandB Version that you are using
  • debug.log and debig-internal.log. These files are under your local folder wandb/run-<date>_<time>-<run-id>/logs in the same directory where you’re running your code.
  • are you willing to provide the tfevents file and send it to our support email support@wandb.com. So that we can try to reattempt and reproduce the issue on our end using your file.

Regards,
Carlo Argel

Thanks Carlo for following up. It will take me a while to create a standalone experiment that doesn’t log my company’s internal data.
