Description
Description of Bug
Inside FileArtifact, if snapshot=True, the UserConfiguration is fetched. However since mode is not passed through, it does it in online mode, which breaks offline mode as it continually tries to ping the server
Maybe mode should be a required arg in fetch()?
Also we should have a CI job which runs offline mode tests fully offline, ie there is no server URL or token available
Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Create an offline mode run
- Remove internet connection
- Save a file artifact with snapshot = True
Expected behavior
File artifact should save locally with a copy of the file in cache
Actual Behaviour
Run breaks since it tries to obtain server version, as UserConfiguration thinks it is in online mode
