Environment variable 'USER' not found

[xinguo2]

Thanks for your share! When I run python bin/train.py -cn lama-fourier location=my_dataset data.batch_size=10，the errors occured:
omegaconf.errors.InterpolationResolutionError: ValidationError raised while resolving interpolation: Environment variable 'USER' not found
full_key: hydra.run.dir
object_type=dict

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Could you tell me how to solve it, thanks!

You just need to export USER environment variable.

You just need to export USER environment variable.

Would you mind explaining how to do this?

just export USER=$(whoami) ; ./train.py ...

just export USER=$(whoami) ; ./train.py ...

similar problem, is it needed to export USER=$(whoami) for windows? if needed, how to export it?

[windj007]

I do not have a Windows machine, but it is easy to google how to set environment variables in windows cmd. If you're the only user of the machine, then there is no need to use whoami command (which returns name of the current user) - just set USER to any value you want.

export USER environment variable.

how to export? i do not know what is the USER environment variable.

I run export TORCH_HOME=$(pwd) && export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)
but still the same error.
