Adding period to name argument of Experiment modifies function names. #913
Comments
Hey @cwitkowitz! Thanks for bringing this up! I remember that this issue, or at least something related to periods in experiment or config names, came already up some time ago (before I became a collaborator), but I don't remember which issue it was... This is clearly not the desired behavior. But, what is desired here? Should it "just work" or should this become an error? |
I think either solution would be fine, however, from a user-pointing perspective the experiment name is just a string, so it seems one should be able to specify any arbitrary string. The main problem is that the behavior is completely unexpected and hard to trace back to having a period in the config name. As far as I am aware, there is also nothing in the docs that indicates this can happen. |

Experiment('hello_config')
toExperiment('hello_config.')
in the following example (from the quickstart guide):This results in the following error:
