you can export USERNAME=‘your-name’ to resolve this problem，see：https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow/blob/5c047cf6950975e5ea1b69bbc89fa1ff80cfa004/metaflow/util.py#L136

@ponggung They get resolved in the following order:

METAFLOW_USER
SUDO_USER
USERNAME
USER

So, as to @meibenjin 's point, try exporting something to any of them.
