FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

[sametdumankaya]

When I try to run the jupyter notebook that you provided on the link
https://github.com/minimaxir/automl-gs/blob/master/docs/automl_gs_tutorial.ipynb
I'm getting FileNotFoundError. Also, when I tried with a local csv file, I got the same error again.
Btw, my OS is Windows 10.

[vjohansen]

same here

It seems to call "python model.py .. "

printing cmd

call Popen with cmd: ['python3', 'model.py', '-d', 'c:\\temp\\x.csv', '-m', 'train', '-c', 'automl-gs']

and then fails possibly due to a missing model.pu

[sametdumankaya]

Yeah, probably. I added the shell=True argument to the Popen statement to see if it works, but it generated another FileNotFoundError.

[minimaxir]

Yes, I admit I did not test on Windows. I thought having os.path everywhere would be enough, but I suppose it's true the subprocess on Windows is a bit different, or the file path of the generated files is not correct.

Will try to look into.

same questions,in window system,

[drsteveoh]

Same here. Not a permissions issue, definitely seems like an issue with the path of the created model.py file (maybe?).

[evan-burke]

It's actually the python executable. Subprocess doesn't appear to check the PATH, per https://stackoverflow.com/a/32799942/2540707

[minimaxir]

I'm OK with using shell=True or another approach like what the referenced commit does with shutil.

[artu001]

@minimaxir bug is closed?

[VinayChaudhari1996]

I also have same issue

does anyone try google colab with TPU ?

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

[minimaxir]

This should be fixed in 0.2.1. Upgrade and let me know if it works!

[minimaxir]

Also I have no idea how you would get a WinError on a TPU when TPUs do not work on Win. That may be fixed by 0.2.1 as well.
