Error in using resolve() while naming output files

Question

output_file_name = '{}__output1.xlsx'.format(str(in_file.resolve().stem))

output_file_path = str(Path(out_folder, output_file_name))

this code lines are giving the following error:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'resolve'

I am processing multiple files and trying to dynamically create a file name for the output files and the path for them. Need your help to sort out the error.

I am trying to save the file in the following way:

df.style.applymap(color_code).\to_excel(output_file_path, engine="xlsxwriter")

See [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32838760/how-to-resolve-relative-paths-in-python). I mean especially the comment by Salo. — Mike O'Connor, Jul 07 '20 at 19:21

resolve() is a method on Path objects from Python's stdlib pathlib module. You should be able to fix it by converting the str to a Path object.

from pathlib import Path

output_file_name = '{}__output1.xlsx'.format(Path(in_file).resolve().stem)

output_file_path = str(Path(out_folder, output_file_name))

I did change the code as per your suggestion but it is still giving the same error. – BP09 Jul 07 '20 at 19:26
I just edited my answer, notice the placement of the parentheses. – iLoveTux Jul 07 '20 at 19:47
