Thanks for pointing it out, I will update it.

As a template, I think it's save to remove this line and ask the user to put config file in trial code's top directory.

okay, will update it

Ooops, I removed config_windows.yml. I thought it's suggesting NNI behaves differently on Windows and Linux, which is not the case.
If it makes doc or quick start hard or complex, please add it back. Just copy config.yml and change python3 to python.

hahaha, a user asked in the WeChat group why there is no config_windows.yml example for v2.3, so I add it back?

Another choice is to tell the users to update the config. I don't know which is better.

I modified all the config files in quickstart to config_detailed.yml, which including the inline search space and swapped the search space part and the trial code part so that users can config the experiment directly in the YAML file after writing the search space.
I didn't add config_windows.yml instead of asking users to update the trialCommand according to your suggestion.

+Define a ``Search Space`` in the JSON file, including the ``name`` and the ``distribution`` (discrete-valued or continuous-valued) of all the hyperparameters you want to search.


Maybe we can suggest embedded search space. It's more convenient in most cases.

ok, so do we need to remove the JSON part? or suggest two ways to define the search space in the quickstart?

I think in quick start we can remove JSON part.

-Auto Completion for nnictl Commands
-===================================

Do we have a future plan to support this feature? If yes, we can add a .. warning here that states the feature is broken in current releases and will be fixed in feature.

It seems that @liuzhe-lz is the owner of this feature. - would you mind tell us the future plan?

It is planned, with low priority.

This feature has been deferred since v2.0, and we can't estimate when it will be implemented, so I temporarily removed it...

The autoCompletion is still pointed to at https://nni.readthedocs.io/en/stable/Tutorial/QuickStart.html. It should be removed from there as well, I just searched for it until I found this issue.

QuanluZhang · 2021-08-11T10:21:19Z

@khituras thanks for reporting this issue. would you mind to create a pr to help fix it?

khituras · 2021-08-11T12:29:41Z

Thanks for the response @QuanluZhang.
I gladly would, however it has already been done per this issue. The current file at https://github.com/microsoft/nni/blob/master/docs/en_US/Tutorial/QuickStart.rst does ot mention the auto completion script.
However, the online documentation seems to be old. It needs to be updated from sources, I guess.

oh, yes, sorry for the misleading. this has been fixed in the latest master. you can double check through this line https://nni.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ which is rendered from the latest master

khituras · 2021-08-11T14:55:18Z

I see. I just followed the link from https://github.com/microsoft/nni. Perhaps this link should point to latest then?
