Compatibility with databases created by older/current Sacred versions #20

Closed flukeskywalker closed 7 years ago

flukeskywalker commented 7 years ago

Hi,

It appears that sacredboard can not be used with databases created by sacred v6.* since the runs are in db.prefix.runs instead of db.prefix.

prefix was usually default, but is now runs. So sacredboard is trying to look into db.runs whereas my runs are in db.default.runs.

This appears to be an important issue for many users like me who have older sacred databases that we would like to browse. Is there a plan to provide compatibility with older databases?

Hi,

I've already noticed some backward compatibility issues (with different types of primary keys used by versions 0.6 and 0.7).

But I was not aware of this problem. Thank you for your investigation of the cause.

I'll have a look at it asap.

I've checked the Sacred code and the collection name has indeed changed. The default collection is now called runs instead of default.runs. However, when running an experiment, the user is allowed to choose the collection name. Therefore, it should be allowed to select the collection in sacredboard as well.

Before I come up with something more convenient, would you accept a command line option to set the collection name manually?

flukeskywalker commented 7 years ago

That would definitely be helpful. And I agree -- since the user has the option to select the collection name (although hardly anyone ever does it, I think), something like this feature is likely to stay.

Ok, I added the option (it's called -mc). You can update to the latest version by running pip install --upgrade sacredboard. Please see the readme or run sacredboard --help for examples.
