How to fix missing files or folder error: File "generate_tfrecord.py", line 110, in tf.app.run()?

Question

When I execute the following command I get the below error from Tensorflow "missing file or folder". I've checked all online solutions for this error, but nothing is resolving my error.

python generate_tfrecord.py --csv_input=images\train_labels.csv --image_dir=images\train --output_path=train.record

The error:

    File "generate_tfrecord.py", line 110, in 
    tf.app.run()
    File "C:\anaconda3\envs\tensorflowc\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\platform\app.py", line 125, in run
    _sys.exit(main(argv))
    File "generate_tfrecord.py", line 101, in main
    tf_example = create_tf_example(group, path)

Answer 1

I resolved the problem

If you are making a .CSV file using an xml_to_csv file.py,

You have to check the file extensions such as .jpg, .png, and .jpeg in the train_labels.csv file.

In my case, the extension names are not there!

Solution:

add the extensions like below example and run the following command:

python generate_tfrecord.py 
    --csv_input=images\train_labels.csv 
    --image_dir=images\train 
    --output_path=train.record

It will work!
