The community member is having an issue with the "marimo edit" command, which is looking for a test file stored on their former employer's SharePoint site. They have tried cleaning the ~/.marimo directory, checking for conflicts, and reinstalling, but the issue persists. The community members discuss potential causes, such as Anaconda trying to load unrelated files, and suggest trying to run the notebook file directly with "marimo edit". The community members also suggest doing a deeper search on the file system to check for possible references to the file. However, there is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.
Hi, I tested marimo in 2022/early 2023. Currently revisting marimo - kudos for this great product! Unfortunately 'marimo edit' is looking for a test file I stored on my former employer's sharepoint site. I cleaned ~/.marimo and all caches I could find and checked conflicts with other processes. Couldn't find any reference to the file. Uninstall - clean - fresh install did not improve the issue. Anyone an idea where Marimo stores the link and why it's trying tyo open the file? Many thanks for your kind efforts in advance.
Hi Akshay, thanks, see traceback below.... I could not put a traceback on the notebook, because I do not have access, hence - my hypothesis - there is a recent (old) file register marimo reads, but I couldn't find anything using grep. BTW anaconda is a clean installation from late 2024.
it looks like for conda, it might be trying to load a bunch of unrelated files when looking for marimo files for the homepage.
are you running marimo edit? where are you running it from? can you try going to a deeper directory to running a notebook file direct with marimo edit path/to/notebook.py
Hi Myles, I am running from terminal user root directory (OSX). Error indeed occurs when I enter "marimo edit". Calling marimo edit <absolute path to>/existing_noteboo.py does not generate the error.
thanks, just checked the anaconda site-packages. Did a clean install earlier today, no links. It's a good workaround to start notebooks with an absolute path. I;ll do a deep search on my file system to check possible references to the file.
