"Getting started" guide not working (no client id/password provided)

[asmith26]

I'm following https://cheese1.readthedocs.io/en/latest/started.html, but when I run the python command (related: https://github.com/CarperAI/cheese/pull/47) I get a URL but no client id/password:

python -m examples.image_selection

Many thanks for any help! :)

You need to create a client. Create client is what gives you a user/pass, not launch. That being said the script should be doing that. I'll look into it

Hey @shahbuland I am also stuck on this page:

Okay I tried the docs_example.py example.

Turns out (1, 673696) is the (user id, password).

When trying this with image_selection.py I am getting this error though:

The image actually doesn't exist:

but ideally it should not crash, right?

Possibly another idea/quick question: is there a way to disable user authentication?

UPDATE/FOUND FIX: Removed share = True, from these lines:

Oh nice. Thanks @asmith26 :)

Bit confused by this. Share should just change whether the gradio demo is accessible by people outside your local connection. By disabling user auth, you are referring to the field where it asks for a user and password at start right? What would the desired behavior be (cc @ayulockin)? For it to just get you to the labelling screen immediately without any identifying information being needed? I see two options:

1. Add option to drop user info entirely so that user ID is never kept/needed for anything. All you'd have to press is a start button to get started.
2. Add option so that you do have to enter a user ID, but no password.

During development, I imagined that this imposed a security risk as it means anyone with url can start writing to your dataset. What is preferred?

Bit confused by this. Share should just change whether the gradio demo is accessible by people outside your local connection.

So I've found by removing share=True has fixed the actual problem in this issue (i.e. that I couldn't run the "Getting started" guide). I think what was happening without this change is that gradio would try to create such a public link/app, but I think a proxy network was blocking this, hence the app would just hang.

Maybe we could make this more customisable when cheese.launch() is ran (my personal preference/thought is to have share=False the default and then a user can use something like cheese.launch(share=True) as required).

By disabling user auth, you are referring to the field where it asks for a user and password at start right?

This was just an idea to help me get the "Getting started" example running - I'm less worried about this now that I have fixed my issue, but it might be beneficial to remove user auth if it's possible and simplify things etc.

Which client to run and how ? Can you add that to readme ?

[djaym7]

Figured it out, gotta add this. Is there a way to let users sign up ? or give predefined users and passowrds ? usr, passwd = cheese.create_client(1)

print(usr, passwd )
