exp: temp dir runs ignore .dvc/config.local

[dberenbaum]

Hello, when running experiments in parallel, I am finding that local cache settings are ignored.

I am using dvc 2.9.2.

when I am in my repo:

(venv) [me@computer folder]$ dvc config -l
remote.remote.url=//remote/url
core.remote=remote
remote.remote.url=//local/remote/url
cache.dir=/cache/dir
cache.type=hardlink,symlink

but when I cd to one of the temporary experiment directories:

(venv) [me@computer tmp0zpspb9w]$ dvc config -l
remote.almds.url=//remote/url
core.remote=remote
cache.dir=/cache/dir

I mentioned this on Discord and was told that this could be relevant to this issue.

@pmrowla Any thoughts on how to handle this?

[pmrowla]

This is a known issue (duplicate of #7254)

Right now we generate our own config.local in the temp dir so that we can configure the cache directory to point to the correct location (and we don't propagate anything else from the parent repo's config.local)

Thanks @pmrowla! Closing as a duplicate.
