os.walk error , can't fill list with file names

Question

I'm learning "Google colab" and got some problem with data reading. I've written a python script for filling folders names into arrays, but it doesn't fill at even one.

TEST_PATH = "/content/gdrive/'My Drive'/test/"
test_ids= []
try:
    test_ids = next(os.walk(TEST_PATH))[1]
except StopIteration:
    pass

list "test_ids" still empty, but there are some folders with files in TEST_PATH: here you can check it

Ive seen os.walk used like this: `for root,dirs,files in os.walk(....): # do smth` maybe try that? — Patrick Artner, May 10 '20 at 14:00

Change your path like this: TEST_PATH = "/content/gdrive/My Drive/test/"

And to list files, I think it should be this: next(os.walk(TEST_PATH))[2].

next(os.walk(TEST_PATH))[1] will list the folders.

Could you change the path like this `TEST_PATH = "/content/gdrive/My Drive/test/"`? – Hoa Nguyen May 10 '20 at 14:11
