ClearML Monitor: Could not detect iteration reporting, falling back to iterations as seconds-from-start

Could you help me? Thanks

@Forfy-code Thanks for raising an issue. This was reported once before, but we have been unable to replicate the issue. Originally it was reported by a user running Windows 10. What operating system are you attempting to train from? And do you have the same problem with ClearML disabled?

I'm running in Windows 10. Before I didn't have ClearML activated and it also gave error that I activated ClearML.

I think that the error comes from the yaml file that reads it wrong, because testing on these files I have found the same error:

before I had a program to read yamls like this:
import yaml
from yaml.loader import SafeLoader

with open('data.yaml') as f:
data = yaml.load(f, Loader=SafeLoader)
print(data)

And I got this error: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x90 in position 295: character maps to .

Now I have this program and it reads it without problems:
import codecs
import yaml

with codecs.open('file.yaml', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
data = yaml.load(f, Loader=yaml.SafeLoader)

If you could fix it, that would be great.

To explore this, I used the YAML of this dataset: https://github.com/ultralytics/hub/blob/master/coco6.zip

@Forfy-code i appreciate you providing additional context on the issue you are encountering. The information you've provided suggests that there may be an encoding problem when the YAML file is read on a Windows system. It appears that specifying an encoding of 'utf-8' when opening the YAML file has resolved the issue in your standalone script.

The error you're encountering with 'charmap' codec can indeed be triggered by attempting to read a file that contains characters not supported by your system's default character map. By default, Windows often uses character encodings that are more limited than 'utf-8', which can lead to such errors when dealing with files that contain certain Unicode characters.

Considering that you've encountered this with the Ultralytics HUB, we would need to investigate this further to determine why the encoding issue arises during the file reading process within our platform. This feedback will be useful for identifying and correcting the issue in future updates of the HUB software.

In the meantime, I would recommend ensuring that any YAML files you intend to use with Ultralytics HUB are saved with utf-8 encoding to prevent such issues. In case you're using any custom scripts, please ensure they are opening the files with the correct encoding set as you've done in your current working script.

If you could create an issue in our GitHub repository with the details of the error, environment and the workaround that worked for you, it would be greatly appreciated. Our development team will then be able to address this in more detail, and other users experiencing similar issues would benefit from the discussion.

For your reference, the Ultralytics HUB documentation available can be referred to for further guidance on best practices and usage. Thank you once again for bringing this to our attention.
