Hi I am trying to debug a code in google colab. I want to use weights and biases to show the results. Here is the content of the cell which I am running

```auto
%cd /content/drive/MyDrive/MPPO-ATTENTIOAN/onpolicy/scripts/train_mpe_scripts

!wandb login My_login_pass

wandb.init(settings=wandb.Settings(start_method='fork'))

wandb.init(settings=wandb.Settings(start_method='thread'))

!chmod +x train_mpe_comm.sh

!ls -ltr

!bash train_mpe_comm.sh --algorithm_name="ippo" --wandb_name="ippo_train_data"

```

The content of train\_mpe\_comm.sh is

```auto
#!/bin/sh
env="MPE"
scenario="simple_speaker_listener"
num_landmarks=3
num_agents=2
algo="rmappo" #"mappo" "ippo"
exp="check"
seed_max=1

echo "env is ${env}, scenario is ${scenario}, algo is ${algo}, exp is ${exp}, max seed is ${seed_max}"
for seed in `seq ${seed_max}`;
do
    echo "seed is ${seed}:"
    CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python ../train/train_mpe.py --env_name ${env} --algorithm_name ${algo} --experiment_name ${exp} \
    --scenario_name ${scenario} --num_agents ${num_agents} --num_landmarks ${num_landmarks} --seed ${seed} \
    --n_training_threads 1 --n_rollout_threads 128 --num_mini_batch 1 --episode_length 25 --num_env_steps 2000000 \
    --ppo_epoch 15 --gain 0.01 --lr 7e-4 --critic_lr 7e-4 --wandb_name "xxx" --user_name "yuchao" --share_policy
done

```

I am getting this error message in the colab

```auto

```

I will appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this error message

Hi @zsheikhb, would you be opposed to passing the API key as the env variable `WANDB_API_KEY`? Also, when you run `!wandb login My_login_pass` does it output that you are logged in as `yuchao`

Hi @zsheikhb, I wanted to follow up and see if this was still an issue?
