User program failed with ValueError: ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980

Question

Hi i'm running into an issue in Azure ML-

I'm getting the error "User program failed with ValueError: ZIP does not support timestamps before 1980"
when it calls the

when i run the following part of the code as a part of a pipeline

from azureml.train.estimator import Estimator

script_folder = os.getcwd()
print("script folder : ",script_folder)
est = Estimator(source_directory=script_folder,
compute_target=compute_target,
environment_definition=env,
entry_script='train.py')

run = exp.submit(config=est)
print(run)

Not sure what is causing this but when i run the file independently of the pipeline it runs fine

Answer

There may be an issue with the timestamp of your file or parent folder. Try moving your file to another directory or creating a new workspace, if that doesn't help, please let me know so we can investigate further. The product team are aware of this issue and currently working on a resolution. Thanks.

Note: try adding the following to the parent script to create a new directory (outside of the current working directory) and copy the child script there:

# create child_run_directory
    os.makedirs('/tmp/child_dir', exist_ok=True)

    os.system('cp ./child.py /tmp/child_dir/child.py')



    # kick off child run

    child_config = ScriptRunConfig(

        source_directory="/tmp/child_dir",

        script='child.py',

        run_config=rc,

        ...

        )
