get_output_from_log returns empty objects

[flippercy]

Hi:

get_output_from_log returns empty objects for me with no error message:

from flaml.data import get_output_from_log get_output_from_log(filename = 'test.log', time_budget = 600)

([], [], [], [], [])

However, when I ran your sample codes in the notebook, this function worked well. Moreover, my test log file exists and can be accessed in Jupyter using other methods.

I am using 0.2.5 and my settings are:

settings = { "time_budget": 3600 'eval_method':'cv', 'max_iter' :100, 'n_splits' :5, 'log_type' :'all', "metric": 'roc_auc', "task": 'classification',
"log_file_name": 'test.log', "log_training_metric": False }

Any ideas?

Appreciate your help! So far the feedback of FLAML from our users is overwhelmingly positive. Great work!

The first simple thing to check is whether you have any record finished before 600s. With time_budget=600 it will look for records finished before that point.

Silly me.....somehow I thought time_budget meant the amount of time allowed for this function to run.....

Thank you!
