Writing txt files in the virtual machine

[oscar.g...@gmail.com]

Dear team,

As part of a pre-processing I need to write some txt files in the virtual machine before predicting.

I have tested the script in my laptop and it works great.

I have set as many prints in my code as needed to double check everything and the unique conclusion is that my script is not able to write txt files in the virtual machine.

I was able to write txt files running some other sw, but not from inside the script.

Am I missing something I should figure out?

Thanks in dadvance for your comments.

Òscar.

Dear Òscar,

I'm not sure if the information you provided is sufficient to form a hypothesis as to why this is happening. 

Very much depends on where you want to create files and write to them.

For example, the path $inputDataset is read-only, so that you cannot change any files there.

You should be able to write in /tmp and in the path $outputDir.

In order to check whether you can create files, you might simply run the command touch /any/path/you/wish/filename

If that works, you can create files at least.

Best,

Martin

Dear Martin,

I'm writing some temporary files to ~/some_path.

I have checked that the files are created during script execution but deleted once the script exits.

I'm gonna change the paths to be set to some folders in /tmp. Will let you know if this works.

From the shell I can create files and folders at home. Weird.

Cheers.

Òscar.

Hi  Òscar,

access to your home should work, though. Something else must be preventing this.

Martin
