Error message related with sub-process of optimizer #116

Closed annsonic closed 7 years ago

annsonic commented 7 years ago

Dear HPOlib team,

Thanks for providing such useful tool! But I am confused why I always get error messages in certain system call sub-process, even when I just test on the default benchmark - branin. The optimization result seems working. Should I ignore these error messages? Or do you have other solutions? Thank you very much.

Dear annsonic,

Great to hear that you find HPOlib useful.

Indeed, these error messages aren't real errors. They are rather logs of what's happening in the optimization procedure. As long as the optimization results are fine in the end, you can simply ignore them.

Best, Matthias

Dear Matthias,

Got it. Thank you once again.
