Error: path is on mount 'c:', start on mount 'D:'

[Pit-Storm]

I'm using Anaconda3 on Windows 10. It's installed on Drive C. My .md file is on Drive D and the Destination should got to drive D. I have an .cfg-file to configure the rendering. Landslide ver 1.1.6

The cfg contains: [landslide] source = D:\\git-repos\mueller.pet\workshop-git-docker\02_workshop.md destination = D:\\git-repos\mueller.pet\workshop-git-docker\02_workshop.html relative = False linenos = table

I tried relative paths and paths with / instead \. Same error.

When I run the landslide command with name-of-cfg.cfg it show the following error:

Error: path is on mount 'c:', start on mount 'D:' With Debug output it is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", mod_spec) File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\Users\mueller.pet\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\Scripts\landslide.exe\__main__.py", line 9, in <module> File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\site-packages\landslide\main.py", line 169, in main run(input_file, options) File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\site-packages\landslide\main.py", line 160, in run generator.Generator(input_file, **options.__dict__).execute() File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\site-packages\landslide\generator.py", line 208, in execute self.write_and_log() File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\site-packages\landslide\generator.py", line 221, in write_and_log self.write() File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\site-packages\landslide\generator.py", line 545, in write html = self.render() File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\site-packages\landslide\generator.py", line 502, in render context = self.get_template_vars(slides) File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\site-packages\landslide\generator.py", line 418, in get_template_vars 'css': self.get_css(), 'js': self.get_js(), File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\site-packages\landslide\generator.py", line 314, in get_css 'path_url': utils.get_path_url(print_css, self.relative), File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\site-packages\landslide\utils.py", line 12, in get_path_url return os.path.relpath(path) File "c:\users\mueller.pet\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\landslide\lib\ntpath.py", line 562, in relpath path_drive, start_drive)) ValueError: path is on mount 'c:', start on mount 'D:'

How to solve this?

Referring to this discussion: https://bugs.python.org/issue7195

Meybe os.relpath() ist not the correct function to use when there are absolute paths. Espacially in windows context when you change over drives from python installation to data folders. But which one is the right one?

[Pit-Storm]

A local workaround could be:

• Go to the disk management system tool
• select the drive where your source and destination is located.
• select "Edit drive letter and path" (could be different naming, i translated it from german)
• mount the drive to a empty NTFS folder on the same drive where your python installation is located.
• before running the landslide command cd to the source-files via the new c-path.
• maybe you have to edit your .cfg-file to the ne c-path.

This is really tweaky, but it works locally for every user individually
