I are aware that SMAC has some performance bottlenecks for very cheap functions, but I'm surprised that it could be so bad. Do you optimize solution quality or runtime? If...

I think I found the problem. Could you please add one line nearly at the end of your code: ```smac = SMAC4AC( scenario=scenario, initial_design=RandomConfigurations, rng=np.random.RandomState(ARGS.random_seed), tae_runner=evaluate_cfg, ) smac.solver.scenario.intensification_percentage = 0.5...

Hi, Thanks for reporting this issue. Could you please provide more details? * Have you checked that you have write permissions in the folder where you executed SMAC? * We...

Hi, could you please try to replace the try-except block linked below by only `os.makedirs(scenario.output_dir_for_this_run)` https://github.com/automl/SMAC3/blob/master/smac/utils/io/output_writer.py#L40 Hopefully, this should be provide you with a more meaningful error message. Best, Marius

Hi, We changed the error handling for this exception. Please try our current dev branch. Cheers, Marius

Hi, Any news on this issue? I'm closing the issue for now. Please reopen, if the issue still exists. Best, Marius

@HadiKutabi `SMAC4AC` and `SMAC4HPO` use different initial designs. In fact, `SMAC4AC` is only running the default configuration, which by definition should not be forbidden.

@AndreBiedenkapp do you have time to look into it?

Dear Jendrik, Thank you for reporting the issue. I can confirm that the default configuration is ignored if the SMAC4AC facade is not used or if the initial design is...

It depends on what you want to achieve. The HPO-facade uses a sobol sequence but in turn, it also uses less interleaved random configurations. Thus, if you disable the sobol...
