[saqib1066]

i have been getting the errno2 on my raspberry pi aswell i was following this tutroial.

https://maker.pro/raspberry-pi/projects/...en-display

can someone help me

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Users\user\Documents\hi.py", line 305, in <module>     window.resize_icons()   File "C:\Users\user\Documents\hi.py", line 284, in resize_icons     fp = open(original_path) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\user\\Documents\\RaspberryPi-Noticeboard-master\\WeatherIconsclear-day.png'

First question: does the file exist?

[saqib1066]

Yes the files exist in the directory. You can also check the link I posted to the tutorial and see if you are getting the same error.

[saqib1066]

Has anybody managed to use the code in the tutorial and find a fix.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:

I have never seen Python lie about this,so what reported is the problem..

To show a test with the part that give error.
First test:

import os

directory = r'C:/code/img/' # See that i use / other way
for file in os.listdir(directory):
    print(file)

Output:
foo.html
img.py
test.png
WeatherIconsclear-day.png

Works see that files are there.
Add second part and print() work fine as debug tool,can also add repr.

import os

directory = r'C:/code/img/' # See that i use / other way
for file in os.listdir(directory):
    #print(file)
    if file.endswith('.jpeg') or file.endswith('.png'):  # expand depending on what file types your icons are
        original_path = directory + file
        # open images so they can be resized
        print(repr(original_path)) # Use print to see that path is correct,repr show all
        fp = open(original_path)

Output:
'C:/code/img/test.png'
'C:/code/img/WeatherIconsclear-day.png'

No error so the files get open bye open().
The part that easy can go wrong is original_path = directory + file like missing a / or \\(never single \ in path) in the concatenate.

[saqib1066]

Sorry I'm new to programming so what do I need to add to the code to fix it.
I have tried listdir(directory)

Output
Clear-day.png
Clesr-night.png
Cloudy.png
Fog.png
Partly-cloudy-day.png
Partly-cloudy-night.png
Rain.png
Sleet.png
Snow.png
Wind.pnd

So it is showing all the files and working


I have tried the print(repr(original_path))

Output
'C:Users\\user\\Documents\\Raspberrypi-Noticeboard-master\\WeatherIconsclear-days.png'

So path seems correct but still the same errno 2

[snippsat]

Do exactly what i have showed,just with your folder.
So first part for you based on error message should be.

import os

directory = 'C:\\Users\\user\\Documents\\RaspberryPi-Noticeboard-master\\'
for file in os.listdir(directory):
    print(file)

Also you shall run this code and see if WeatherIconsclear-day.png is in the output.
If you see that file add second part,just the same as i have posted.

The path C:\\Users\\user\\Documents is a little strange.
For Window the default path to Documents is C:\Users\<user name>\Documents.
So eg if i should navigate in cmd to Documents it look like this.

C:\>cd Users
C:\Users>cd tom # My user name
C:\Users\Tom>cd Documents
C:\Users\Tom\Documents>

I have tried listdir(directory)

Output
Clear-day.png
Clesr-night.png
Cloudy.png
Fog.png
Partly-cloudy-day.png
Partly-cloudy-night.png
Rain.png
Sleet.png
Snow.png
Wind.pnd

So it is showing all the files and working


I have tried the print(repr(original_path))

Output
'C:Users\\user\\Documents\\Raspberrypi-Noticeboard-master\\WeatherIconsclear-day.png'

So path seems correct but still the same errno 2

[snippsat]

I have tried listdir(directory)

I do not see WeatherIconsclear-days.png there.

I have tried the print(repr(original_path))

Output
'C:Users\\user\\Documents\\Raspberrypi-Noticeboard-master\\WeatherIconsclear-days.png'

Look closer two missing \\,shall bee C:\\Users\\user...

[saqib1066]

The WeatherIcons is a folder and inside there is

Clear-day.png
Clesr-night.png
Cloudy.png
Fog.png
Partly-cloudy-day.png
Partly-cloudy-night.png
Rain.png
Sleet.png
Snow.png
Wind.png



import os

directory = r'C:/Users/user/Documents/RaspberryPi-Noticeboard-master/WeatherIcons'
for file in os.listdir(directory):
print(file)



output
clear-day.png
clear-night.png
cloudy.png
fog.png
forecast
partly-cloudy-day.png
partly-cloudy-night.png
rain.png
sleet.png
snow.png
todays
wind.png

The missing \\ that's my mistake on this message I accidentally missed typing them

output
'C:\\Users\\user\\Documents\\RaspberryPi-Noticeboard-master\\WeatherIconsclear-day.png'
