your process' "current working directory" isn't what you think it is

#1136320931371962461 message

also https://discuss.python.org/t/improve-filenotfounderror-by-adding-a-note-that-includes-the-current-directory/69785

[upper stratus]

So?

[nimble sierra]

so that's why it's not working

[upper stratus]

I saw the post, but am confused on what's going on here

[nimble sierra]

either change the current working directory, or change the path

[upper stratus]

Can ya explain?

I am a little bit confused on this

[nimble sierra]

did you read the link to the earlier discussion in discord?

[upper stratus]

oh, wait no

i read the post

let me see

Could you show your dockerfile? It usually marks what is work directory and how your file is run. This will show us what cwd is.

Also, you can use __file__ to get the path of the current python file and then make paths relative to it.
Like using pathlib your file would be
pathlib.Path(__file__).resolve().parent / "blog/First-Blog.md"
(.parent because we want to get the directory where the py file is in)

im curious abiut the overall setup here..
as when I do like a mysql db involved in a script, i spin up a mysql conatiner with a shared volume

[upper stratus]

this?

{
    "name": "Python 3",
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python:1-3.12-bullseye",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/warrenbuckley/codespace-features/sqlite:1": {}
    },
    "workspaceFolder": "/workspaces/portfolio-web"
}

[upper stratus]

it's sqlite

[hallow pasture]

i see that now..

[sonic rain]

You said docker container but this is not the docker format
I don't see any steps of creating it - copying source, installing dependencies, etc +where is the entrypoint?

[hallow pasture]

he might have some kind of dynamic parse for creating a docker compose yaml, not help seeing it in this format if so

[upper stratus]

It's the one you get useing vscode

this was the easy way apparently

Is the os.getcwd printing the correct directory for you?

You could also try
./blob/First-Blog.md for the file path

What I would really recommend is doing a os.listdir on whereever you keep the file and see if it got copied

Something like

os.listdir("./blog")

[upper stratus]

I did, and it printed out correctly:
['.obsidian', 'First-Blog.md']

[patent tinsel]

Have you tried adding a "./" to your filepath, assuming that is where blog comes from

[upper stratus]

Can ya explain

[patent tinsel]

Does your self.filepath look like blog?

Try making that ./blog

[upper stratus]

Doesn't work either

[patent tinsel]

It should be
./blob/First-Blog.md

[hallow pasture]

import os

def print_dir_structure(path='.'):
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(path):
        level = root.replace(path, '').count(os.sep)
        indent = ' ' * 4 * level
        print(f"{indent}{os.path.basename(root)}/")
        subindent = ' ' * 4 * (level + 1)
        for file in files:
            print(f"{subindent}{file}")

print_dir_structure()

this a nice snipet to get the dir structure for your repo, if your doing them

it may help in this case

[upper stratus]

What should i put in the path?

[upper stratus]

Doesn't work

This is super weird

[hallow pasture]

im confused, did you mean to ping me cause i dont see the output fromnthe func i gave you.. which you should runnat the start of the script to get the output.

[upper stratus]

I ran it with file . It did not give any output

It worked!

I just had to change the path to: /workspaces/portfolio-web/blog

Can somone explain the why of it now

[hallow pasture]

if your loik8ng in the folder blog, then thats how you map to it.
in all the screenshots you sent you were nit inclyding blog as a folder.

phone sheshh

[upper stratus]

it's more of like: ah, it works

who knows why, but it works

Maybe because i was using relative paths
