Message

File Does Not Exist: C:\Test\xxx

Cause

This error occurs when the Synatic flow attempts to access or manipulate a file at the specified path, but the file cannot be found. Possible reasons include:

  • The file was deleted, moved, or renamed.

  • The specified path is incorrect (e.g., typo in the path or filename).

  • The file extension is missing in the filename e.g. ".pdf"

  • The file was not created or transferred to the expected location in a previous step.

Resolution

  • Verify the file path: Double-check the path for typos or inconsistencies. Ensure the file exists at the specified location.

  • Check previous steps: Confirm that any steps meant to create, move, or transfer the file were executed successfully.

  • Error handling: Add conditional logic or error-handling steps to manage missing files gracefully.

  • Re-run the flow: If the file is expected to be generated dynamically, retry the flow after confirming the file is present.

If the issue persists, contact Synatic support with the following error details.
