When using axolotl in HPC environments, commonly without access to the internet, HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE enviroment variable need to be set. This causes data loading, even for a JSON file, to throw an uncatched error and impeding the training run to begin.
This addition catches
ConnectionErrorand continues treating it as if it was aFileNotFoundError, checking for local files next.You can test the difference just by adding
HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE=1to the training command. The run must use a local JSON file.
