Issue with offline mode
State: closed

## Describe the bug
I can't retrieve a cached dataset with offline mode enabled

## Steps to reproduce the bug

To reproduce my issue, first, you'll need to run a script that will cache the dataset
```python
import os
os.environ["HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE"] = "0"

import datasets

datasets.logging.set_verbosity_info()
ds_name = "SaulLu/toy_struc_dataset"
ds = datasets.load_dataset(ds_name)
print(ds)
```
then, you can try to reload it in offline mode:
```python
import os
os.environ["HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE"] = "1"

import datasets

datasets.logging.set_verbosity_info()
ds_name = "SaulLu/toy_struc_dataset"
ds = datasets.load_dataset(ds_name)
print(ds)
```

## Expected results
I would have expected the 2nd snippet not to return any errors

## Actual results
The 2nd snippet returns:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/lucile_huggingface_co/sandbox/evaluate/test_cache_datasets.py", line 8, in <module>
    ds = datasets.load_dataset(ds_name)

ConnectionError: Couln't reach the Hugging Face Hub for dataset 'SaulLu/toy_struc_dataset': Offline mode is enabled.
```

## Environment info
<!-- You can run the command `datasets-cli env` and copy-and-paste its output below. -->
- `datasets` version: 2.4.0
- Platform: Linux-4.19.0-21-cloud-amd64-x86_64-with-glibc2.17
- Python version: 3.8.13
- PyArrow version: 8.0.0
- Pandas version: 1.4.3

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something in the use of the offline mode (see [doc](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v2.4.0/en/loading#offline)), is that the case?


Hi @SaulLu, thanks for reporting.

I think offline mode is not supported for datasets containing only data files (without any loading script). I'm having a look into this...

Thanks for your feedback! 

To give you a little more info, if you don't set the offline mode flag, the script will load the cache. I first noticed this behavior with the `evaluate` library, and while trying to understand the downloading flow I realized that I had a similar error with datasets.

This is an issue we have to fix.

This is related to https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/3547

Still not fixed? ......

#5331 will be helpful to fix this, as it updates the cache directory template to be aligned with the other datasets

Any updates ?

I'm facing the same problem

This issue has been fixed in `datasets` 2.16 by https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6493. The cache is now working properly :)

You just have to update `datasets`:

```
pip install -U datasets
```

I'm on version 2.17.0, and this exact problem is still persisting.

Can you share some code to reproduce your issue ?

Also make sure your cache was populated with recent versions of `datasets`. Datasets cached with old versions may not be reloadable in offline mode, though we did our best to keep as much backward compatibility as possible.

I'm not sure if this is related @lhoestq but I am experiencing a similar issue when using offline mode:

```bash
$ python -c "from datasets import load_dataset; load_dataset('openai_humaneval', split='test')"
$ HF_DATASETS_OFFLINE=1 python -c "from datasets import load_dataset; load_dataset('openai_humaneval', split='test')"
Using the latest cached version of the dataset since openai_humaneval couldn't be found on the Hugging Face Hub (offline mode is enabled).

    raise ValueError(

```

Thanks for reporting @BramVanroy, I managed to reproduce and I opened a fix here: https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/pull/6741

Awesome, thanks for the quick fix @lhoestq! Looking forward to update my dependency version list.

Thanks a lot！ I have faced the same problem. Can I use your fix code to directly replace the existing version code? I noticed that this fix has not been merged yet. Will it affect other functionalities?


I just merged the fix, you can install `datasets` from source or wait for the patch release which will be out in the coming days

Hi, a related issue here when loading a single file from a dataset, unable to access it in offline mode (datasets 3.2.0)

```python
import os
# os.environ["HF_HUB_OFFLINE"] = "1"
os.environ["HF_TOKEN"] = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

import datasets

dataset_name = "uonlp/CulturaX"
data_files = "fr/fr_part_00038.parquet"

ds = datasets.load_dataset(dataset_name, split='train', data_files=data_files)
print(f"Dataset loaded   : {ds}")
```
Once the file has been cached, I rerun whit the HF_HUB_OFFLINE activated an get this error : 
```
ValueError: Couldn't find cache for uonlp/CulturaX for config 'default-1e725f978350254e'
Available configs in the cache: ['default-2935e8cdcc21c613']
```
