os.chdir(myPath) is not working.

[tc_2018]

Hi,

I have the code below and it works fine with the IDLE; however, it is not working with T.C.

import os

myPath = 'O:\\myDir' #this is my mapped network drive

os.chdir(myPath)

Can someone please shed a light!

What happens when you try it?

[tc_2018]

I got error message:

Python runtime error.

FileNotFoundError

[WinError3] The system cannot find the specific path specified: 'O:\\\\'

If you hard code the path in the os.chdir line, does it work?  That will tell you if it is a syntax problem with the second line or a permissions problem and TestComplete can't get to that directory.

[tc_2018]

Hardcoded is not working either. For example:

os.chdir('O:\\myFolder')

It works fine when running with IDLE, but not with T.C. and I don't know why.How do know if it's a permission problem with T.C?

[Marsha_R]

Are you able to browse to that folder and open the file from the machine where TC is installed?

[tc_2018]

Yes, I can. I am an admin of the system where T.C. is installed.

I used IDLE on the same machine, and did not have any problem.

Can we see your actual code please?  It's hard to tell what's going on from made up examples.
