This is my code:
import os
...
savepath = "/home/myname/Documents/programfolder/vanities/"
#ctx.author.id is from the discord.py module, not relevant to question.
userFile = os.path.join(savepath, str(ctx.author.id) + ".txt")
...
try:
vanity = open(userFile, "r")
vanity = vanity.read()
server = get_guild(myserverid)
vanityrole = server.get_role(vanity)
vanityrole = role.edit(name = str(rolename), colour = int(hexcolour))
except FileNotFoundError:
vanity = open(userFile, "w")
vanityrole = role_create(name = str(rolename), colour = int(hexcolour))
vanity = vanity.write(str(vanityrole.id))
pass
When I run this, I receive an error
Ignoring exception in command vanity:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./bot.py", line 27, in vanity
vanity = open(userFile, "r")
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/myname/Documents/programfolder/vanities/myid.txt'
Why does the try: except FileNotFoundError: not work? I tried it with except IOError and OSError and neither worked. The error also occurs with open(userFile, "w"). For reference, my program runs in /home/myname/Documents/programfolder/
