trainer.train() in Kaggle: StdinNotImplementedError: getpass was called, but this frontend does not support input requests - huggingface-transformers

Question

When saving a version in Kaggle, I get StdinNotImplementedError: getpass was called, but this frontend does not support input requests whenever I use the Transformers.Trainer class. The general code I use:
from transformers import Trainer, TrainingArguments
training_args = TrainingArguments(params)
trainer = Trainer(params)
trainer.train()
And the specific cell I am running now:
from transformers import Trainer, TrainingArguments,EarlyStoppingCallback
early_stopping = EarlyStoppingCallback()
training_args = TrainingArguments(
output_dir=OUT_FINETUNED_MODEL_PATH,
num_train_epochs=20,
per_device_train_batch_size=16,
per_device_eval_batch_size=16,
warmup_steps=0,
weight_decay=0.01,
logging_dir='./logs',
logging_steps=100,
evaluation_strategy="steps",
eval_steps=100,
load_best_model_at_end=True,
metric_for_best_model="eval_loss",
greater_is_better=False
)
trainer = Trainer(
model=model,
args=training_args,
train_dataset=train_dataset,
eval_dataset=val_dataset,
callbacks=[early_stopping]
)
trainer.train()
When trainer.train() is called, I get the error below, which I do not get if I train with native PyTorch. I understood that the error arises since I am asked to input a password, but no password is asked when using native PyTorch code, nor when using the same code with trainer.train() on Google Colab.
Any solution would be ok, like:
Avoid being asked the password.
Enable input requests when saving a notebook on Kaggle. After that, if I understood correctly, I would need to go to https://wandb.ai/authorize (after having created an account) and copy the generated key to console. However, I do not understand why wandb should be necessary since I never explicitly used it so far.

Answer 1

You may want to try adding report_to="tensorboard" or any other reasonable string array in your TrainingArguments
https://huggingface.co/transformers/main_classes/trainer.html#transformers.TrainingArguments
If you have multiple logger that you want to use report_to="all" (the default value)
try os.environ["WANDB_DISABLED"] = "true" such that wandb is always disabled.
