Weights & Biases (wandb) is a powerful tool designed to help machine learning practitioners track and visualize their experiments. It provides a comprehensive suite of features for logging metrics, visualizing results, and collaborating with team members. By integrating wandb into your machine learning workflow, you can streamline the process of experiment tracking and improve reproducibility.
When using wandb, you might encounter the error message: wandb: ERROR Invalid run ID. This error typically appears when attempting to access a specific run using an incorrect or non-existent run ID.
Upon executing a command or script that interacts with wandb, the error message is displayed, indicating that the run ID provided is invalid.
This error occurs when the specified run ID does not exist in the wandb database or has been deleted. Each run in wandb is assigned a unique identifier, and if this ID is incorrect or the run has been removed, the system cannot retrieve the associated data.
To fix this issue, follow these steps:
Ensure that the run ID you are using is correct. You can find the correct run ID by logging into your wandb account and navigating to the project dashboard. Each run is listed with its unique ID.
Visit the wandb dashboard to verify your run IDs.
If the run ID is correct but the error persists, the run may have been deleted. Deleted runs cannot be accessed or restored. Confirm with your team if the run was intentionally removed.
If you are using scripts or commands that reference a specific run ID, update them with the correct ID. This ensures that future operations are performed on the correct run.
For more information on managing runs in wandb, refer to the official documentation. If you continue to experience issues, consider reaching out to the wandb community for support.
