How to fix FileNotFoundError Errno 2 no such file or directory
The error FileNotFoundError Errno 2 no such file or directory occurs when Python cannot find the specified file in the current directory.
Here is an example:
import csv
with open('employee.csv','r') as file:
employee = csv.reader(file)
print(employee) There are several reasons why the FileNotFoundError Errno 2 No such file or directory error can occur:
1. Misspelled filename
There may be times when your filename will have been misspelled. In such a case, the file you specified will not exist in the current directory. So, recheck your filename.
2. Wrong directory
There might be times when your files won’t not exist in the current directory. These are called relative paths and are the most usual occurrence of this error.
To solve the issue, use the following code to check if the file exists in the current directory:
name, age, gender John, 23, M Jake, 24, M Johnny, 22, M
If the desired file does not exist, you can then either add the file to the current directory or move your code file to the directory where the file resides.
You can also provide an absolute path such as Users/Documents/employee1.csv. This will search for the file in the path that you have stated.
