The problem seems to be the source directory, not the part I have coded

[Gunnar_Baldwin]

After looking closely at my code in cell 4 and cell 14 (the only cells where I have been allowed to insert code), I don’t see how my coding has resulted in the IsA DirectoryErrot error in the later cell, which states “Test your split_data function”. Running that cell produces an error which says that the directory ‘/tmp/PetImages/Cat’ does not exist.

Since I was never asked to write code concerning the source directory /tmp/PetImages/, how can my code be the problem? I am assuming it is a no-no to hard code a reference to the source path /tmp/PetImages/ in either cell 4 or 14?
I am sure I must be wrong, but how?

Hello @Gunnar_Baldwin ,

You can start your assignment a fresh and check these 2 :

Test your split data function not printing expected output

Hello @Waffles , Thanks for your response! I have seen your code snippet. I will be explaining here in detail and hope this will clear all your doubts. For split function, you have directly written directories without defining anything before like this : TRAINING_DIR = train_dir VALIDATION_DIR = validation_dir For which you were getting 0 images. You need to define the things at first, step by step. I would suggest you to go through the hint . It’s given in the hint : All images should…

Details of failed tests for create_train_test_dirs

Hello @Ran_Duan , You’re welcome! Thanks for sending your file.I have reciprocated the same on my end and fixed the issue now. In the first graded function, there has been an error as per the test case, though outputs are fine. It’s mentioned in the hint : # Don't hardcode the paths. Use os.path.join to append the new directories to the root_path parameter You had written code for every directory/path individually.Though output comes the expected, but approach was different from what was r…
