bioimageio.core.test_model passes but GitHub CI fails

[qin-yu]

Expected behaviour: if local test passes, then GitHub Actions should encounter no error.

My test:

GitHub Actions: https://github.com/bioimage-io/collection/actions/runs/9515502505/job/26230316192

The issue is that the conda environment that you have locally and that the CI is running with are not the same.
As discussed offline you can try to specify a different (higher) PyTorch version to have CI run in a more up-to-date environment where torch can be imported successfully (which is the issue in the current default pytorch env the CI installs for the pytorch version you specified).
Or, for pytorch state dict weights anyways, add a custom dependencies file. (I'd prefer the first option as your usecase should not require a custom conda env.

The ideal solution is to improve the default conda environment used in CI for the pytorch version that you specified (which would fix all models specifying that pytorch version 🎉 ).
This environment is determined here

Thanks Fynn, I updated the env file for state dict and traced a CPU only torchscript. Not sure how to upload again.

[FynnBe]

just go to https://bioimage.io/#/ and click upload in the upper right corner:

(with id: philosophical-panda (in the RDF) to update your previous upload)

btw, I think I fixed all default pytorch envs.

For identical environments with identical packages, versions, and even build (except the build for libxml2), local CI passes while online version fails. See #84
