Description
When users have conda installed on their system and are in the root directory, our
conda env export
call to produce anenvironment.yml
fails and prints an error. This is despite the fact that we try to catch exceptions withexcept Exception
, because the error occurs in asubprocess
call.This issue can happen in, e.g., the environment of JarvisLabs, which provides cloud GPUs and credits and may be a first W&B experience for some users. See JIRA for more context.
The issue occurs right when you call
wandb.init
, so it's not putting our best foot forward!Testing
I checked that, post-fix, the error on
wandb.init
call no longer occurs in an environment on JarvisLabs.I also checked that the
CondaEnvExportError
is still triggered by a bareconda env export
call in the same environment.The solution uses
subprocess.DEVNULL
, which is Python>=3.3.Release Notes
