CLI login command incorrectly triggers interactive prompt

[brentschroeter]

• Weights and Biases version: 0.9.3
• Python version: 3.6.9, 3.7.8
• Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04, macOS 10.15.3

Description

From a fresh install, attempting to log in via the command line using wandb login <valid API key> should succeed without requiring interactive input. Instead, it prompts for an API key interactively (see below).

The cause can be traced back to the addition of public_api = PublicApi() on line 210 of wandb/cli.py. To my understanding, this causes the __init__() method of the PublicApi class (which triggers the interactive prompt if API key is unknown) to be called prior to the execution of any WandB CLI command. This behavior is undesirable, particularly because it renders wandb login <key> useless except when a user is already logged in.

What I Did

$ wandb login <my-api-key-here>
wandb: (1) Create a W&B account
wandb: (2) Use an existing W&B account
wandb: (3) Don't visualize my results
wandb: Enter your choice:

For now, working around this by downgrading to version 0.9.2.

Hey @brentschroeter
In the past few months we've majorly reworked the CLI and UI for Weights & Biases. We're closing inactivate threads for the time being. Please comment to reopen. 😄

@ariG23498 this issue is still there. Experienced it while trying to init as anonymous on a kaggle kernel

[ecthompson99]

@KhushalB did you figure out a workaround on the kaggle kernel? Running into this problem now.

[KhushalB]

@ecthompson99 setting anonymous='must' worked for me. Was not able to claim the runs from my wandb account after though.

Same experience as @KhushalB - I can create anonymous runs but I can't claim them. Is claiming still supported somehow?
