Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

thread278-1818377

Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

(OP)
I working on script running on sql server 2019 using python 3.10 .

I have directory path \\192.168.7.9\Import\8 and can

write and read to files and delete and create files on

this directory path \\192.168.7.9\Import\8.

my issue when run script python on sql server 2019

it return false

but it must return true because directory path exist.

this path have permissions everyone and administrator and system full control read and write and delete .

script python

CODE --> python

declare @ExportPath varchar(max)='\\192.168.7.9\Import\8'
EXEC sp_execute_external_script
@language =N'Python',
@script=N'
import os
d = os.path.isdir(ExportFilePath)
print(d)'
,@params = N'@ExportFilePath NVARCHAR(MAX)'
,@ExportFilePath = @ExportPath

Expected result is True

from sql server it return true as exist but from python script it return false for same server and same user.

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

What is ExportFilePath set to? As it stands, it is blank. Blank does not exist so the code is doing what you told it.

Just print ExportFilePath within the python code to see if it is set to what you think it ought to be set to. Maybe you need quotes around the string.

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

(OP)
thank you for reply
i try this as below

CODE --> python

EXEC sp_execute_external_script
@language =N'Python',
@script=N'
import os
d = os.path.isdir(''\\192.168.7.9\Import\8'')
print(d)'
still return false as not exist
i test this remote server path from same sql server on same machine for same user and on same sql server version
by Master.dbo.xp_fileexist it return 1 as exist

so what is issue and how to solve it please

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

escape each backslash:
d = os.path.isdir("\\\\192.168.7.9\\Import\\8")

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

(OP)
I think is dir working local only not remotly
are this is correct

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

But you placed the string in 2 pairs of apostrophes, it's syntax error:
d = os.path.isdir(''\\\\192.168.7.9\\Import\\8'')
use either
d = os.path.isdir('\\\\192.168.7.9\\Import\\8')

or
d = os.path.isdir("\\\\192.168.7.9\\Import\\8")

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

(OP)
so can you help me please

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

we both posted on 14:31, look what I posted, before you posted

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

(OP)
thank you for support me and i appreciate your support
i try as below

CODE --> python

EXEC sp_execute_external_script
@language =N'Python',
@script=N'
import os
d = os.path.isdir("\\\\192.168.7.9\\Import\\8")
print(d)'


also not working and return false as not exist

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

other option could be something like this: first map the shared source as network drive and then check if it's directory

CODE

import os
result = os.system("net use S: \\\\192.168.7.9\\Import\\8")
print("result =", result)
d = os.path.isdir("S:")
print("d =", d)

results should be:

CODE

result = 0
d = True

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

Does it work with drive mapping or not ?

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

(OP)
so how to map network drive please

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

(OP)
after map
it give me result
STDERR message(s) from external script:
System error 67 has occurred.

The network name cannot be found.


STDOUT message(s) from external script:
result = 2
d = False

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

(OP)
last try i create mapped drive
i get error
STDERR message(s) from external script:
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.


STDOUT message(s) from external script:
result = 2
d = False

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

The error "The network name cannot be found." indicates that your PC does not know the other PC (192.168.7.9) which shared source you want to access (\Import\8\). Check if you see from your PC the PC with IP address 192.168.7.9 and if it has enabled share Import

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

(OP)
it shared and give me access is denied

RE: Directory path display false as not exist although it exist with full control permission ?

Access denied means that you don't have the right permission. You need to set it.
