Hello,
When I using Eclipse as an external Python IDE, the following line are added the script
os.chdir(u'C:/Users/m311747/PythonEditorWrapper_1fba786d-9ffc-4d94-8d10-0cd7ba247ebf')
dataset = pandas.read_csv('input_df_67b60cb7-e289-4523-a1c0-532bae33c2aa.csv')
this basically instructs Python to read the data from a temporary csv file.
My issue is that the PythonEditorWrappper_**** and the csv file are not created.
I am supposed to do something to create them ?
So far the only thing I've done is to drag my data to the Python Viz window then launch the external IDE.
When does powerBI desktop create those temp file? I am supposed to write some script in powerBI first before using hte external IDE?
Thanks a lot
Patrick
I am trying to use Eclipse as a IDE.
For that purpose, powerBI is supposed to create temporary files so the external IDE can access the data. That's the intend of the 2 lines added at the top of the scrip automatically by powerBI when it opens the external IDE (os.chdir(... and dataset = pandas.read_csv( - see original post).
In my case the directory and file are not created.
So powerBI does open Eclipse but the script fails because the it can't access the data.
