Originally created by @mukul74 on GitHub (Aug 25, 2022).

I am running the tagifai.ipynb notebook on the windows platform but facing difficulty viewing the experiment in MLflow.

Steps Done:

Cloned the repo
Running the "mlops-course\notebooks\tagifai.ipynb" in vs code locally.
To run the server "mlflow server -h 0.0.0.0 -p 8000 --backend-store-uri /experiments/" from the location of the notebook, experiments is the next folder inside it. # $PWD is omitted because of windows.
Opening the "http://localhost:8000/#/"

Observation :

No signs of experiment run.
Image attached below for ref.

Please provide assistance with this issue.

Thanks

Hi @mukul74, hmm I've heard from few others who had trouble running MLFLow on Windows as well. Have you tried the "Tip" on this page: https://madewithml.com/courses/mlops/experiment-tracking/#application

On Windows, the last line where we set the tracking URI should have three forwards slashes:

mlflow.set_tracking_uri("file:///" + str(MODEL_REGISTRY.absolute()))

Let me know if that works! I'll add this tip to the notebook as well but definitely check out the website lessons as your go through the code because I try not to add too much text on the notebooks to avoid clutter.

Hi @GokuMohandas, thanks for the suggestion. Yeah I have implemented the
mlflow.set_tracking_uri("file:///" + str(MODEL_REGISTRY.absolute()))

Since in windows, $PWD will not work, so we have to provide the absolute path
mlflow server -h 127.0.0.1 -p 8000 --backend-store-uri file:///c:\D_drive\Practise\MLops\mlops-course\notebooks\experiments/
