Hi, the code ran 3 days agoand it worked, but after I changed some variables and it failed with: “wandb: W&B API key is configured. Use `wandb login --relogin` to force relogin wandb: - Waiting for wandb.init()…wandb: \ Waiting for wandb.init()…wandb: | Waiting for wandb.init()…wandb: / Waiting for wandb.init()…wandb: - Waiting for wandb.init()…Traceback (most recent call last):”. Now after I changed it back the error persists.

Hi @gammill-chance , happy to help. Could you expand a bit on your experiment setup and which arguments are you setting in `wandb.init()`, additionally:

- Does the output of `wandb status` correspond correctly to the `entity`,` host_url`, and is the api key set there correctly?
- Try deleting the `~/.netrc`file that stored your wandb login info and api key and relogin
- Uninstall/reinstall wandb

If the above doesn’t work please provide the `debug.log` and `debug-internal.log` files for the failing runs located in the wandb folder of your project directory and we will take a closer look.

I am new to the Wandb coding, but for the init it is as follows,  
wandb.init (project=‘U-Net’,entity= ‘gammill-chance’, resume=‘allow’, anonymous=‘allow’, name= ‘check\_8’).  
I will add that when logging in to wandb in the command console the command wandb login key, has not been working, so instead I used wandb.login(). Additionally I did not know about wandb status and I decided to run the neural network without wandb for the time being, so I can respond to that hopefully on Friday. After that I will try what you suggested and I will get back to you when I know if it works. Thank you!
