Im using the authexample, running local. And i have modified the project to use XGBoost instead of a neural net, I am also using a custom dataset imported from a CSV. It appears that the initial authentication is done correctly. But when i do flwr run clients just time out, so im guessing the client_app is not starting, since i left some logs there and they aren’t showing. I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!
Hi @dj0nty , you can see in the logs that indeed the ClientApp started but something went wrong. Note the
aggregate_fit: received 0 results and 2 failures
line in the ServerApp log.
My recommendation is to start with the quickstart-xgboost example (which makes use of a purposed-build XGBoost strategy). You can then follow the steps as you did to (1) run it with the deployment engine (i.e. flower-superlink with two flower-supernodes); and then (2) make use of your custom dataset.
I hope this helps!! I also got back to you on Slack but let’s continue the discussion here better 
Hi! Thank you for the suggestion. I am trying to do so with a custom dataset, but getting the following error, importing the data like this. Thank you!
It worked w/ the regular dataset so im figuring it has to do with me not importing the dataset correctly
Possibly. I would suggest first getting your dataset partitioner to work. You can take a look at the Flower Datasets guide on how to use local data.
Note that Flower Datasets is built on top of Hugging Face Dataset class, so if the guide i link above isn’t detailed enough, you should be able to find more online. For example here is the documentation that Hugging Face gives for loading CSV datasets: Load tabular data
I’d recommend first to get it working outside a Flower project. For example by just having a few lines in a notebook as shown in the Flower Datasets docs: Use with Local Data - Flower Datasets 0.5.0
Apparently, it works if i do it not using superlink, But works if i just run the .pys. I did try the guide on the supernode version but couldn’t figure it out, any idea on how to import it properly?
