cassandra-stress: URI is not absolute error

Question

I am trying to run cassandra-stress from a bash script:

HUB_STATUS_YAML="~/some-path/hub_errors.yaml"
COMMAND="cassandra-stress user profile=${HUB_STATUS_YAML} ops(insert=1)"
echo About to run $COMMAND
$COMMAND

I end up with the following error: "URI is not absolute".

Have you checked your file exists at this location and is correctly named? I just spent 10 min having the same error before finally realizing I had typed example.yml instead of example.yaml... — axelcdv, Apr 16 '15 at 13:40

axelcdv's comment concurred with my experience of this problem.

Make sure you spell the file name correctly.

I'm taking DataStax training atm and encountered the same error. I was spelling the cqlstress.yaml as csqlstress.yaml the "URI is not absolute" error.

When you use someone else's work product as an answer, typically you should make the answer community wiki. – durron597 Sep 09 '15 at 01:55
Thanks for this. I'm taking the training also and I was in the wrong directory. – Brandon Nov 22 '15 at 14:30
