MOT17 / MOT20 submissions stuck in Running for ~1 hour, then fail with "Child task failed or non-zero return code" and no logs

[jiahao-shen]

Description

Submissions to the MOT17 and MOT20 benchmarks stay in the Running state for nearly 1 hour, and then fail with:

Submission failed: Child task failed or non-zero return code. See logs for more details.

However, no logs are available on the submission page (scoring/ingestion stdout and stderr are all empty), so it is impossible to tell whether the failure comes from the submission content or from the compute worker.

Details

• Benchmarks affected: MOT17, MOT20
• Submission format: ZIP with the result .txt files directly in the root directory, standard MOTChallenge 10-column format (frame,id,x,y,w,h,conf,-1,-1,-1)
• Local checks on the MOT17 submission: all 42 sequence files are present, no NaN/Inf, no duplicate IDs within a frame, no non-positive width/height, frame indices within the sequence length
• Behavior: status stays Running for ~1 hour → Failed with the message above → no logs

Expected behavior

• The submission is scored, or
• If it fails, the logs show the actual error so participants can fix their submission

Could you please check the compute worker / backend logs for these benchmarks? Thank you!
