Code of local evaluations is not working

[vics-kwon]

In "Details", the way to run local evaluation is explained.

$ retro-contest run --agent $DOCKER_REGISTRY/simple-agent:v1 \
    --results-dir results --no-nv Airstriker-Genesis Level1

but, this command is not working. error message is..

usage: retro-contest [-h] {} ...
retro-contest: error: invalid choice: 'run' (choose from )

I'm not sure whether 'retro-contest' is well installed or not.

ps. retro pkg installed in my notebook

gym-retro (0.5.3.dev2+g8ffbbd1, /Users/vics/work/rl/retro)
retro-contest-support (0.1.0, /Users/vics/work/rl/retro-contest/support)

[vics-kwon]

In addition, Could you explain this command? this command also make error.

$ pip install -e "retro-contest/support[docker]"
retro-contest/support[docker] should either be a path to a local project or a VCS url beginning with svn+, git+, hg+, or bzr+

Thus, I installed retro-contest using below command

$ pip install -e "retro-contest/support"

Is it okay?

[endrift]

yeah, that's probably because you didn't drag in the docker dependency (which is what the [docker] does, or is supposed to do). Try pip install docker and then run the command again.

If you're on Windows you'll need to update to latest git, btw.

[vics-kwon]

So COOOOL~!!! All the command works well after installing docker with pip.

$ pip install docker

Thanks a lot.

ps. I'm on Mac and already have Docker for Mac.

@endrift I am having a similar problem I am going into the docker image bash by using : docker run -it remote-env after tagging your image.

I then install docker on that image as mentioned above but when I try and run retro-contest run --agent $DOCKER_REGISTRY/simple-agent:v1 --results-dir results --no-nv --use-host-data it gives me the error:

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory')) and it points directly at the adapters.py file in the python 3.5 files.

Could you please explain to me what's going on here? Is it because I am trying to run docker inside a docker image?

[endrift]

Can you give the full backtrace?

[walkeri]

I am getting this exact same error, here is the backtrace for mine.

@endrift, @walkeri showed exactly what I would've sent. Thanks again

[chris-reusch]

Nevermind @endrift @walkeri, we were trying to run the file in the docker container, basically trying to run docker in docker. To fix this I just ran cd retro-contest ./setup/setup.sh Then it was installed locally and it outputs correctly to the csv files in the results directory.

but follow up question, is there a way to render this environment as it tests so that we can watch video of the agent running or do we have to use the "to video file".py? ( don't remember the exact file name right now)

Asked in Discord and the answer is no ^^^ for anyone that looks at this
