wandb: Invalid cross-device link error preventing logging of images

wandb, version 0.10.2 Python 3.7.8 Linux

Description

When trying to log images with W&B, I am getting an error that prevents the temp image file from being copied, which prevents logging and causes the job to crash.

What I Did

Calling ``wandb.log(…)on anwandb.Image(…)` object, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):                                               
  File "/home/timbrooks/anaconda3/envs/prototypes/lib/python3.7/shutil.py", line 566, in move

Hi,

the problem is still not solved for wandb==0.12.16. Initializing with wandb.init(dir=tempfile.gettempdir()) is only a workaround, which is not possible in our case. And only downgrading to W&B to 0.9.7 as @timothybrooks suggested helped, but of course, we would like to keep up to date. Any plans of addressing it?

Best, Daniel

I’ve downgraded W&B to 0.9.7 and the problem resolved. So perhaps there is a regression in writing or copying images?
