File not found error on creating a new file and writing in it-CodePudding

I am trying to create a new file and write on it . but when I am doing something like this I am getting file not found error. seems I am missing something which I can't figure out .

data = {
    "table_name": "name",
}
file_path = '/tmp/myfile.json'
with open(file_path   '.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(data, f, indent=2)

[ERROR] FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/myfile.json'

CodePudding user response：

are you trying to run this on Windows by any chance? Or a *nix system where you don't have access to /tmp?

For me, this script runs fine on a Ubuntu and MacOS (although the created file is /tmp/myfile.json.json instead of /tmp/myfile.json because of the '.json' in your script), but not on Windows.

CodePudding user response：

well python tries to find the file in the cuurent working directory, check if the cwd is what you think it is

import pathlib

print(pathlib.Path().absolute())

u can do this to check the cwd
