File Not Found error in Jupyter Notebook when i use auto.assign_causal_mechnism

[bernddude]

Ask your question
my model is working fine, however when i try to use the auto assignment feature
i get a stubborn File Not found error

Expected behavior
The same code ran fine before, is there any system variable setting required
This is a new notebook

Version information:

• DoWhy version [e.g. 0.7]

Additional context
None

[bernddude]

Thank you so much for your quick response .... is this what you were looking for ?

That is weird. Did you make sure to have the newest version installed (0.11.1)? And is it only happening when you call assign_causal_mechnism?

Otherwise, if you can provide a short executable code snippet to reproduce this, I can take a look (you can simply use some dummy data).

[bernddude]

Thank you so much for your continued help. Yes i install the code yesterday (on this machine).
and so far the only problem i have is this specific error. All the rest of my code which i used on other machines before runs just fine (actually i am positive surprised about that) :)
To be totally honest i was expecting that its just some issue with global settings on my side, i was just wondering / hoping that somebody might have run into the same issue before ?

pls don't worry to much , its not the biggest issue.
i will likely poke around a bit more 9on the machine) , just have to finish some other work right and .
i will leave a message here in case i find the cause & a solution

[bernddude]

Hello Patrick, i found out what was the issue . The problem was that my Jupyter environment was referring to a non existing current directory . I am assuming that might be b/c i was running the code on a network drive.
I solved the issue by explicitly assigning a working directory and it all worked fine.

The clue that gave it away was that when i ran os.getcwd() i got the same error
i just had a hunch that its something like that , which is why i checked on the working directory
Once i got that error , i was pretty sure what's the issue and how to solve it

thx again for your help and i hope this might help the next guy :)

Great, glad to hear it is working now! :)
