Hello,

When I run the `dvc exp show` command I only get the current workspace metrics. For all other previous experiments the table just contains exclamation marks. Here’s a minimal output example:

```auto

```

The odd thing is that `dvc` complains about missing `dvclive/params.yaml` and `dvclive/metrics.json` files although these files are present in the repository folder. Similarly it says it can’t find the lock file although this file too is present.

Any help with debugging and solving this would be appreciated. Thanks!

PS. This is outout of running `dvc doctor`:
