How to set up File integration? (Access to path not allowed)

[umbral python]

I am trying to write this data to a csv from an automation but I can't figure out how to access the file properly, anything I try seems to result in an error related to the file access. I'm quite sure its something relatively minor im missing, but any path I tried to do doesn't seem to work.

You're missing the leading /

[umbral python]

seems to be the same result with this

[maiden heart]

Did you restart HA after modifying configuration.yaml?

[umbral python]

I did

let me do it once more for good measure, cant hurt

[maiden heart]

And does that directory exist?

And has reasonable permissions?

[umbral python]

I have not set much up in terms of permissions, just created the folder in the config folder in VSCode on the rpi and created the csv. then put the custom_data folder path into the configuration.yaml

@maiden heart after a restart, I checked in the terminal and the folder is there but the integration wizard keeps saying its not allowed to access it

[maiden heart]

work fine for me

[umbral python]

the fk xd

I imagine you have a similar version to me

I'm running HA in a container, but that shouldn't matter

oh, allowlist_external_dirs: xxx should be under homeassistant:

[umbral python]

I was just about to ask

is my YAML indentation correct

[maiden heart]

both lines need to be indented by two spaces

[umbral python]

that would explain why the YAML intellisense didnt suggest it either

probably

[maiden heart]

I imagine that was evident from the logs

it's being interepreted as an integration, which doesn't exist

[umbral python]

doesnt look like my logs have anything in em

or im looking in the wrong place

it works now tho, with the indentation

[maiden heart]

that is not the normal log file

it is home-assistant.log

[umbral python]

ah ye

ok that works, now to figure out how to write to it
