Os.makedirs() / Os.mkdir() On Windows. No Error, But No (visible) Folder Created

I just try to create some new folders with Python's (3.7.3) os.makedirs() and os mkdir(). Apparently, it works fine because no error occurs (Win 10 Home). But as I try to find the

Solution 1:

I just had the same thing happen to me, except I was creating a folder in the AppData/Roaming directory and was using the version of Python from the Microsoft Store.

Apparently, files and directories created in AppData using that version of Python, will instead be created in:

%LocalAppData%\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache

Solution 2:

I found what causes this problem finally!

All of the created test folders have been moved to a folder named VTROOT. This folder is created by Comodo Internet Security I use...Its "Auto-Containment" moved all folders I set up by running the code from .py-file (only then) in the PowerShell.

Disabling the auto-containment of Comodo solves the problem..Oh my..

Thank you anyways!

Solution 3:

the "if" part will check if the file exists already and consequentially solve the ERROR: '[WinError 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists:'

the "import sys" part will fix the issue with windows where the folder is created but not visible by the user (even with show hidden files turned on)

import sys
import ospath = 'your path'
def make_dir():
    ifnotos.path.exists(Path):
        os.makedirs(Path)

or

import sys
import os

path = 'your path'defmake_dir():
    mode = 0o666#read and write for all users and groups # form more permission codes search for: *chmod number codes*ifnot os.path.exists(Path):
        os.mkdir(Path, mode)

Solution 4:

Try adding the below import statement:

import sys

This should work.
