ERROR: unexpected error - [Errno 2] No such file or directory:

bdatko · November 6, 2022, 1:01am

Hi all,

I ran into an ERROR: unexpected error - [Errno 2] No such file or directory from running dvc run on my stage in my dvc.yaml. I am running into a similar error when I try to do dvc repro. I am not sure how to debug the error.

Full stacktrace from `dvc run --force -vvv ...`

Working through stack traces on the discord channel. Answering the question about if the parent directory is being created:

The parent directory in the path for the python command used in the stage of the DVC yaml is present. The python script does not produce any error and I see the expected output
The parent directory 5373a268696130b39cc91eb0a84fc6aa3d319c5f5457738204f311227a48d67b.fBqeujqRpR6mBP8JnoCst7 mentioned in the stack trace does not exist. Here is the full path: .dvc\\cache\\runs\\61\\6110fe992548e0f3a21a5db003fb5dad206d04196519039f39ff70f58540c9d7\\5373a268696130b39cc91eb0a84fc6aa3d319c5f5457738204f311227a48d67b.fBqeujqRpR6mBP8JnoCst7'

Below is a screenshot of the project directory highlighting the missing parent.

skshetry · November 7, 2022, 2:16pm

Thanks. The last part in the path is a file which will be created when open() succeeds.

What happens if you try in python REPL yourself with the following command?

with open("<path>", mode="wb") as fdst:
    pass

Does that above work?

skshetry · November 7, 2022, 2:25pm

Okay, I wonder if this is due to long path issue.
Could you please enable long path? See this guide:
https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/how-to/run-dvc-on-windows#enable-long-folderfile-paths.

bdatko · November 7, 2022, 2:29pm

Okay, I wonder if this is due to long path issue.
Could you please enable long path? See this guide:

It could be this, but I don’t have admin rights to edit the group policy on my machine.

bdatko · November 7, 2022, 2:31pm

The specified path in stack traces ends with a directory that is not there, but I try:

with open("<path>", mode="wb") as fdst:
    pass

Where <path> is the parent of the file missing within the project directory, I get a PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

bdatko · November 8, 2022, 5:55pm

I wasn’t able to verify if the long path issue was the exact reason, but I moved the project out my OneDrive folder into another directory. This fixed the ERROR: unexpected error - [Errno 2] No such file or directory when running dvc repro

stevejonn · April 26, 2023, 10:18pm

By specifying the name of a file as “filename.ext” when opening it with the open() function, you are indicating that the file is located in the current working directory. This type of file path is referred to as a relative path.

file = open('filename.ext') //relative path

In the above code, you are not giving the full path to a file to the open() function, just its name - a relative path. The error “FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory” is telling you that there is no file of that name in the working directory. So, try using the exact, or absolute path.

file = open(r'C:\path\to\your\filename.ext') //absolute path

In the above code, all of the information needed to locate the file is contained in the path string - absolute path.

If the user fails to provide a full path to the file (which, on Unix-like systems, means a path starting with a slash), Python interprets the file path relatively to the current working directory. Typically, the current working directory is the directory where the program was launched from. For this to work correctly, the directory containing the Python executable must be listed in the PATH environment variable, which contains a set of directories that the system searches when searching for executable files. Regardless, if your Python script file and the input data file are not located in the same directory, you will need to specify either a relative path between them or use an absolute path for one of the files.
