How to generate csv files?

[cjdjr]

I tried to analyze the behavior of the agent through the dashboard. But a csv file is required to run the dashboard, how to generate csv files ?

@cjdjr That's disabled in the code :(

nle/nle/env/base.py

Lines 282 to 284 in b85184f

	# TODO: Fix stats_file logic.
	# self._setup_statsfile = self.savedir is not None
	self._setup_statsfile = False

nle/nle/env/base.py

Lines 466 to 476 in b85184f

	if self._setup_statsfile:
	filename = os.path.join(self.savedir, "stats.csv")
	add_header = not os.path.exists(filename)
	self._stats_file = open(filename, "a", 1) # line buffered.
	self._stats_logger = csv.DictWriter(
	self._stats_file, fieldnames=self.Stats._fields
	)
	if add_header:
	self._stats_logger.writeheader()
	self._setup_statsfile = False

Yes, this logic is currently disabled.

It shouldn't be too hard to produce a csv file on the agent side. The required headers are

            "end_status",
            "score",
            "time",
            "steps",
            "hp",
            "exp",
            "exp_lev",
            "gold",
            "hunger",
            "killer_name",
            "deepest_lev",
            "episode",
            "seeds",
            "ttyrec",

(The JavaScript code probably doesn't like the bz2'd ttyrecs, so you might have to un-bzip2 them (either before running the dashboard or by changing the dashboard JS.)

@heiner
Thank you. Do you have any plan to develop code that generates a csv file?
I'm looking forward to it :)

Hey @mwbyeon, @cjdjr,

This might not be the resolution you've been looking for but we've just decided to remove the JavaScript dashboard as we haven't been maintaining it very well.

If you feel strongly about wanting to keep using the dashboard I'm happy to add more pointers at how you could do that, let me know.
