possible to print $CONFIG in hydra help with interpolation resolved?

[hwijeen]

Hi, thank you for the brilliant library once again!

I am using --help functionality following the docs, and wondering if the values printed with $CONFIG can be 'resolved.
For example, what I get right now is

...
load_dataset:
  _target_: datasets.load_dataset
  path: ${hydra:runtime.cwd}/loading_script.py
...

Is there a way to get hydra:runtime.cwd resolved to an actual path?

Thanks!

p.s. Is there a functional equivalence of python argparse's variable-wise help?

parser.add_argument('foo', help='can hydra have something like this to explain each variable?')

Hi @hwijeen!

Is there a way to get hydra:runtime.cwd resolved to an actual path?

No. as of now, when you use the --help flag, only the values in the hydra/help config group will be resolved in the message.

we have an open issue for this :)

(from offline discussions with omry)

We will consider adding support for a resolved config in help in future Hydra releases.

@Jasha10, can you do this? this is related to your --resolve flag for --cfg.
Should be pretty easy to add this too.

[Jasha10]

Yes, I'll take it.

Should the --resolve flag control whether this feature is enabled?

[omry]

That's the idea, yes.
