FileNotFoundError

[LotteNotelaers]

I am trying to run the ile-de-france pipeline. I followed the data collection and set-up instructions. However, when I run python -m synpp, I get the following error.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\u0141279\cache_ile-de-france\data.spatial.iris__d423afe2d458252282b0cf4f1d86459d.cache\CONTOURS-IRIS_2-1__SHP__FRA_2021-01-01\CONTOURS-IRIS\2_METADONNEES_LIVRAISON_2021-06-00217\CONTOURS-IRIS_2-1_SHP_LAMB93_FXX-2021\IGNF_CONTOURS-IRIS_2-1_SHP_LAMB93_FXX-2021.xml'

I do not know how to resolve this issue. I have checked and the CONTOURS-IRIS_2-1__SHP__FRA_2021-01-01 file is downloaded and stored in the folder "iris_2021".

When I run docs/verify_data.py, it also returns "errors have been found", which are related to the IRIS 2021 and Zoning 2021.

Could you please help me?

Best,
Lotte

Hi, docs/verify_data.py is an old file that should be deleted. We rather run scripts/verify_data.py every week and the data seems to be fine, sorry for the confusion. Regarding your error, I'm not sure what could be the error. It looks like the 7z archive is not unpacked properly (actually, we never use this xml file that is referenced there). Sometimes Windows has trouble with file names that are too long, I'm wondering if this could be the case here. When you check the location where the file is supposed to be located (../data.spatial.iris_{...}.cache/), do you see anything that has been put there?

Hi Sebastian,

Okay. I will not consider the docs/verify_data.py anymore but the other one.

The full path structure is there but it does not include any file. ...\cache_ile-de-france\data.spatial.iris__{...}.cache\CONTOURS-IRIS_2-1__SHP__FRA_2021-01-01\CONTOURS-IRIS\2_METADONNEES_LIVRAISON_2021-06-00217\CONTOURS-IRIS_2-1_SHP_LAMB93_FXX-2021

I tried to add the files manually. Then I get another error:

Although the html file is in the folder:

Ok, this is the call to remove the files to clean up this folder to regenerate the step. And even if the file exists, Windows seems to be unable to remove it. What Windows are you working on? I have a strong feeling that this may originate from the length of file path limitation on Windows. Our integration tests on Github run on Windows Server 2022, not sure how this relates to Windows 10/11 etc.

Could you try to activate long file paths?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later)

And you are running this inside a conda environment under Windows, right?

Hi Sebastian,

Activating the long file paths did the job.

Thanks a lot!
