why is a new run created when running with

resume

? a new folder is created in

.metaflow

, I would have guessed it would reuse the folder of the failed run and complete the steps missing. is there a way of having this behaviour? would improve clarity

Metaflow keeps track of all executions, not overwriting anything in the past. Every

run

is tracked separately and correspondingly every

resume

is tracked individually as well. Metaflow stores its metadata in

.metaflow

(similar to how Git stores its metadata at

.git

) but the contents of the directory shouldn’t be accessed directly. Instead, you can use the Client API to access results, which should provide a consistent (and hopefully clear) way of accessing results
