Hello,
I get an error from my code, I create the path in order to delete the correct file (I have import os of course), even if my code delete the correct file, in the terminal I get the following error:
ERROR WHILE DELETING THE FILE.
It doesn't write file deleted, but it deletes the file.
Why I get this error if the code delete the file anyway?
myfile = "test.png"
currentdir = os.getcwd()
path = currentdir + "/static/images/" + myfile
if os.path.exists(path):
print("File deleted")
os.remove(path)
else:
print("ERROR WHILE DELETING THE FILE.")
without seeing the details, you can delete a file only once.
Assuming that is it there the first run, I do not see you rewriting it, so
it can be deleted again.
Instead of if .. else, you may also do a try...except...
my 2 cts,
Paul

Yes of course it's the first attempt, when the code deletes it I add it back to try again.
Now I followed your suggestion, I just changed it like this:
myfile = "test.png"
currentdir = os.getcwd()
path = currentdir + "/static/images/" + myfile
try:
os.remove(path)
print("File deleted")
except:
print("ERROR WHILE DELETING THE FILE.")And I get both the messages:
File deleted
ERROR WHILE DELETING THE FILE.
Why this? It simply needs to delete a file... I can't understand
Now it works thank you:
try:
os.remove(path)
print("File deleted")
except:
print("ERROR WHILE DELETING THE FILE.")
Hi,
In the except: clause, you print your own message,
but tthe idea is that you let python determine what the problem is.
Maybe it is something else !
So you might do this:
except Exception as e:
print (e.args)Paul
The first code should work.
Try in a other environment,here a repl.it
link.
Using
os.path.join() or
PurePath pathlib can be better when joining paths.
