Start the challenge

[Abhishek213]

Ask them to report the same so that they can take issues on priority and
fix or replace those labs

. Everyone should mail whatever issue they are facing

[singlovehk]

The content itself is good but I saw that a lot of people encounter different bugs!

For me, I don't know why the running time of some labs is much more than what the task states.

I spent around 1 hour waiting for the training of the image classifier and it is not completed yet, while the instruction says it takes only 30 minutes.

[shubh1234]

I spend 1 hour for traning pipeline but It can not create (identify damaged car parts with vertex auto ML vision) lab ,It take 30 minutes to complete written in instructions 

[rokde_himanshu]

same issue bro, it has already taken up an hour to train and still doesn't show up

[RITURAJRAMAN]

We are not able to complete 5 labs in "Learn to Earn Cloud Challenge: Machine Learning Engineering Skills" as Pipelines training is not getting completed.

• Real Time Machine Learning with Cloud Dataflow and Vertex A
• Vertex Pipelines: Qwik Start
• Identify Damaged Car Parts with Vertex AutoML Vision
• MLOps with Vertex AI
• Building and Deploying Machine Learning Solutions with Vertex AI: Challenge Lab

It takes a lot of time to train and then also it is not getting completed even though it is given that it will take hardly 30 min in the lab manual.

@emily927 please guide us, what to do now....

[mauferna]

I am having issues finishing Labs GSP965 (Vertex Pipelines: Qwik Start) and GSP274 (MLQps with Vertex Al) of the Challenge.
In both cases, the Vertex Pipelines in the us-centra1 region get stuck in the "Running" state and never complete, then the Lab times out. Even the pipeline that is supposed to last 5-6 minutes never completes after more than 1hr and a half.

Please help, I would like to complete the challenge

Thank you in advance

[Anudeep]

 Based on the many issues with the pipeline labs, I have faced some issues with pipeline labs when I am performing some pipeline commands. I have observed that it is not displaying elapsed time in training status. So the pipeline creation is having some issues. 

[Abhishek213]

Yeah they should remove these labs

[Saugat]

Same issue Qwiklabs team please help and also the warning is there if we are again starting the lab, didnot followed the instructions and can lead to account block. This is a pipeline issue in the lab and we are penalised for it with time wastage and account blocking warning. Please do something @emily927 

[sayan]

you have to complete this lab so fast. Its takes to much time but it will complete

[Lily_Nguyen]

How long will i have access to these quests and labs for?

[Abhishek213]

Today till 9pm IST
and after that new games will be updated or date will get extended

[Lily_Nguyen]

hi, what does Green flag mean? does it mean the green badge, because i don’t see the green badge on the learn to earn site yet. I’m in US.

[davidregalado25]

How did you do the lab "identify damaged car parts with vertex automl vision" ? It's not working for me. The model training never completes.

[Abhishek213]

just end the lab
u will get tick

[Bholoubi]

Hello,

I have a question how can I increase my score  after earning the badge????  

[Abhishek213]

You need to complete all check points fast i.e u need to quick in executing
commands

[Bholoubi]

Thank you for your replay, but what is the (check points) ???

[Bholoubi]

Hello, 

For (Learn to Earn Cloud Challenge: Sports Data Analysis Skills) I  stopped at the last lab and it has an error, I send to the support team and they told me that they will fix it...... but until now they did not ??? 

What should I do????? 

[abdulla7862]

Hello mam,

I performing vertex AI  Lap this error is showing

[Ayush_Jaiswal]

You can check your challenge, it will show a green tick if something is wrong at their end and hasn't been fixed yet. Or you can logout and login again and try to perform the action again.

[abdulla7862]

I done every thing but this problem not resolved

[Abhishek213]

wait for the event to start 

[Dwaipayan001]

@emily927 mam as most of the students faced problems in the Machine Learning track , those who have enrolled or finished atleast one lab should be given the badge. Just a suggestion, which might uplift the mood of those (including me) who failed to complete most of the labs due to issue in vertex AI.

[Abhishek213]

u still have time and they have unlockked all labs so please complete them

[Dwaipayan001]

Not everyone can be so "free" to reply each and everyone and just sit and retry and retry the labs which are having issues. I tried several times, failed everytime and now seeing that issues has been resolved, I don't know how much has been resolved but don't have enough time to sit for 1-2 hours again to get absolutely no result.

[Abhishek213]

then it would be unfair for all those who have given so much time to all
labs
wait for another game badge and leave this one has major bugs and this
badge will expire by 9pm today --
they may extend or release fresh badges

[Dwaipayan001]

Wouldn't it be unfair that I wasted my time 6-8 times on those labs related to Vertex AI and got no result. I am not telling to let everyone go, check who have attended those faulty labs and let them go only. Don't let go those who have just enrolled and didn't try once.

[Himanshu_rokde]

It would require more resources to implement this than its usefulness. As only a couple hours left for next 2 tracks to open

[Babar_Ali]

All badges will expire by tomorrow 9 p.m. Date has been extended to 6 Jul

[Ayush_Jaiswal]

If you have attempted there will be a green tick even if you cannot complete the entire lab. Keep in mind not all will get a green tick

[DKS1213]

Using the What-If Tool with Image Recognition Models

This lab is 2nd lab in Machine Learning Skill badge.

In this lab we don`t able to open Jupyterlab. And that`s why we can`t finish Machine Learning Skill badge.When we open Jupyterlab they only load not open.

So please solve this problem as soon as possible.

[Dwaipayan001]

Yeah same, a new issue now.

[Saugat]

same issue for this Lab "Using the What-If Tool with Image Recognition Models" the Jupyter Lab is not opening.
This complete "Machine Learning Engineering Skills" badge has issues, please fix or refresh the whole set of labs. Wasted lot of time but no use and no badges either. Please help!!

[Dwaipayan001]

It is working now. If it still doesn't open then contact the qwiklabs support team via chat and they will help you out. I told them and refreshed 3-4 times and it opened.

[Saugat]

I tried but still same issue reopened the lab several times more than 10 times and also contacted chat support, they mentioned issue still exists they are trying to fix it.
