I am running experiments with AML pipeline and I do not want to store the source directory files of my script steps in the experiment panel after the run is completed (when I enter a run from the experiments panel, there is a snapshot containing those files). I know experiment runs can't be deleted, only archived, but this is not what I'm looking for.
@Caalc If you are submitting the pipeline using the SDK you can prevent unnecessary files from being included in the snapshot using an ignore file (.gitignore or .amlignore) file. The syntax used allows you to exclude files using syntax and patterns. Here is the link to the documentation that talks about it in a bit of detail.
Hi! thanks for replying. Yes, I am submitting it using the SDK. I have already tried both (.amlignore, and then only .gitignore) but then the source directory files are also ignored when transferring them to the compute target so my scripts don't run and the experiment fails like this:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'my_script.py'
where my_script.py is the script that should run in the compute target, but which I don't want to be shown in the snapshot.
@Caalc I believe that without the ignore file your snapshot contains all files and it runs successfully. Is it possible to mention the pattern used in the ignore file or limit it to the exact file to avoid other script files being ignored? Ex:
# exclude everything except directory foo/my_script.py
/*
!/foo
/foo/*
!/foo/my_script.py
@Caalc Did the above suggestion help to ignore the files to be added to the snapshot?
