Hey guys, is the Kedro configuration file path dependent?

project_path = Path(__file__).parent.parent
print(project_path)
conf_path = str(project_path / settings.CONF_SOURCE)
conf_loader = OmegaConfigLoader(conf_source=conf_path)

# This line shows how to access the catalog configuration. You can access other configuration in the same way.
conf_catalog = conf_loader["catalog"]
catalog = DataCatalog.from_config(catalog=conf_catalog)

kedro_data = []
for dataset_name, dataset_loader in kedro_integration.datasets_from_catalog(
    catalog
).items():
    kedro_data.append(dataset_loader)
    data_manager[dataset_name] = dataset_loader

companies = catalog.load("companies")
print(companies)

For me the above code throws the following error:

DatasetError: Failed while loading data from dataset CSVDataset(filepath=data/01_raw/companies.csv, load_args={}, protocol=file, save_args={'index': False}).
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data/01_raw/companies.csv'

Isn’t that what the config loader and DataCatalog are supposed to solve? that there is no issue with file paths etc. The

project_path

is definitely correct…

Someone will reply to you shortly. In the meantime, this might help:
