)  public.QueuedRun

Enqueue a W&B launch experiment. With either a source uri, job or docker_image.

Arguments:

  • uri: URI of experiment to run. A wandb run uri or a Git repository URI.
  • job: string reference to a wandb.Job eg: wandb/test/my-job:latest
  • config: A dictionary containing the configuration for the run. May also contain resource specific arguments under the key “resource_args”
  • template_variables: A dictionary containing values of template variables for a run queue.
  • Expected format of {“VAR_NAME”: VAR_VALUE}
  • project: Target project to send launched run to
  • entity: Target entity to send launched run to
  • queue: the name of the queue to enqueue the run to
  • priority: the priority level of the job, where 1 is the highest priority
  • resource: Execution backend for the run: W&B provides built-in support for “local-container” backend
  • entry_point: Entry point to run within the project. Defaults to using the entry point used in the original run for wandb URIs, or main.py for git repository URIs.
  • name: Name run under which to launch the run.
  • version: For Git-based projects, either a commit hash or a branch name.
  • docker_image: The name of the docker image to use for the run.
  • resource_args: Resource related arguments for launching runs onto a remote backend. Will be stored on the constructed launch config under resource_args.
  • run_id: optional string indicating the id of the launched run
  • build: optional flag defaulting to false, requires queue to be set if build, an image is created, creates a job artifact, pushes a reference to that job artifact to queue
  • repository: optional string to control the name of the remote repository, used when pushing images to a registry
  • project_queue: optional string to control the name of the project for the queue. Primarily used for back compatibility with project scoped queues

Example:

from wandb.sdk.launch import launch_add

project_uri = "https://github.com/wandb/examples"
params = {"alpha": 0.5, "l1_ratio": 0.01}
# Run W&B project and create a reproducible docker environment
# on a local host
api = wandb.apis.internal.Api()
launch_add(uri=project_uri, parameters=params)

Returns: an instance ofwandb.api.public.QueuedRun which gives information about the queued run, or if wait_until_started or wait_until_finished are called, gives access to the underlying Run information.

Raises: wandb.exceptions.LaunchError if unsuccessful
