Confusing problem >> FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
Question:
This problem puzzled me.
Maybe the problem is in the code, I hope you take a look
with open(training_images_labels_path,'r') as file:
lines = file.readlines()
He says that the file does not exist
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\Desktop\project\data\generated\training_images_labels.txt'
Though the file exists
I need solutions
Answers:
Looks like its a windows path you are working and i believe path really thrown in the error is wrong when compared to the actual where the txt file resides.. just cross check once, if that’s the case try to pass the correct path in to the variable “training_images_labels_path”
If it says that the file does not exist though the file exists, it means the path has been not given properly. Try giving the path correctly.
Method 1:
Giving correct path 'C:\Users\Public\Desktop\project\data\generated\training_images_labels.txt' or
'C:\Users\<insert your username>\Desktop\project\data\generated\training_images_labels.txt' is your path if I guess correctly
Method 2:
Using os module ( Recommended )
mydir = 'C:/Users/Public/Desktop/project/data/generated'
myfile = 'training_images_labels.txt'
training_images_labels_path = os.path.join(mydir, myfile)
with open(training_images_labels_path,'r') as file:
lines = file.readlines()
Method 3:
You can also try changing the working directory to the location where your data is present. ie Desktop>project>data>generated here and open the file with file name. ie
with open('training_images_labels.txt','r') as file:
lines = file.readlines()
Can you tell how you created this path.Some advise.
use path separator library to generate path to avoid this error.
training_images_labels_path
further try to navigate parent directory using python and print pth.may be some new line or linux/windwos convereted path or other special character in path. navigating parent directory and listing will solve
if still not solve try to navigatep parent-parent dir and print path
try hard
I had the same problem with importing an excel file, which of course exists in the same directory with my .py file. The chosen solution above did not help me, and actually I didn’t understand those three methods, as I am working on mac OS.
This method worked for me: in Spyder, I usually run the file by pressing the keys "Shift + Enter", which in this case made the problem. So, my solution was, to press on the "Run file" button (or the fn+F5 key) instead.
Maybe someone wants to explain the difference.
Watch your path if its correct or not. I had the same problem and it turned out i didnt had the good path set
Something that I have realized and I do not know if it is your case, is that if you create a file and put for example: "device.txt", in the python code to open it you must put for example: "file = open(" device.txt.txt", "r")" because it doesn’t take into account the ".txt" written in the file name, but the format itself. and if you don’t want to write it that way, rename the file where you have it saved, from "device.txt" to "device".
