Somehow -visdomServer is overwritten in an unexpected way

[Okisy]

This is related to #2
I ran
python -m visdom.server -p 8097
in order to use visdom.

After that, I ran
python evaluate.py -useGPU \ -startFrom checkpoints/abot_sl_ep60.vd \ -qstartFrom checkpoints/qbot_sl_ep60.vd \ -evalMode ABotRank QBotRank \ -visdomServer http://127.0.0.1 \ -visdomServerPort 8097 \ -visdomEnv ABotRank-QBotRank
Even though I clearly designated which server to use and the server port number, somehow they are overwritten as follows. How can I fix this?

Thanks for pointing this out, the visdom parameters were being overwritten in evaluate.py with the ones loaded from checkpoint. I have added those parameters to the list of excluded parameters in 58110e2 to prevent this. Let me know if the issue persists.
