No files saved in beobench_result directory #88

Closed HYDesmondLiu closed 1 year ago

HYDesmondLiu commented 2 years ago

Problem

In config.yaml, general section, there is a local_dir, which is commented # save experiment data to ``./beobench_results`` directory. However, if I try to save e.g. a numpy array of rewards. It is nowhere to be found. May I know where the generated files are located? Where and how should I specify a directory to save files in agent.py or config.yaml?

Hi @HYDesmondLiu, great question! The docs definitely need some clarification here.

The answer is that the local_dir only refers to the directory on the host machine (the machine where you call beobench run) where you would like to save your data. This directory is mounted in the experiment container. Inside the experiment container this directory is accessibe under the path /root/beobench_results/. So in your agent.py script you can save files to /root/beobench_results/ (inside the experiment container) and then these will be saved to local_dir on your host machine set in the config.yaml.

Hope this helps! Let me know if this solved the issue.

@rdnfn Thanks for the response. However, I am a non-root user. I have tried to generate files with an absolute path in the config.yaml file and did not work. Is there any other workaround for this?

Sorry for the delay but for completeness (if it could help another user): the root user only refers to inside the experiment container (irrespective of your user on the host machine). Closing this issue now, but feel free re-raise this issue if the problem persists.
