file does not exist error when using docker

[yuanzeluo]

Hi,

I'm using the docker client on a Mac and everything looks fine when I installed the eSASS image. When running eSASS, I started the container and mounted some my local directories to it

Code: Select all

docker run -v /Users/yl/Downloads/eFEDS:/home/idies/event_folder -v /Users/yl/Documents/PSB_multiwave/erosita_products_yl:/home/idies/result_folder -it --rm erosita/esass:latest /bin/bash

The container started properly and I can see my mounted folders as well as the files inside the mounted folder. However, when I try to run evtool

Code: Select all

evtool eventfiles=“/home/idies/event_folder/fm00_300007_020_EventList_c001.fits” outfile=“/home/idies/event_folder/events_image_test.fits” image=yes emin=0.2 emax=2.0

I keep getting the error

Code: Select all

evtool: eSASS4EDR Sep 02 09:43:31 2021
 evtool/validate_tEvtool: **STOP** infile “/home/idies/event_folder/fm00_300007_020_EventList_c001.fits” does not exist
 evtool: FAILED

I checked some docker documentation and it seems like the mount is okay, but I have no clues why evtool cannot find the file. Any ideas? Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Yuanze

Dear Yuanze,
the command as you pasted it contains non ASCII literal characters:
the double quotes you used are non standard (did you by any chance edited your script in an advanced text editor ?)

try to use a standard encoding,
i tested your command from a docker running on a mac (US keyboard) by typing it directly from the terminal and the command run smoothly when using the double quote.
if you run this command in a script please try to edit your script in a 'simple' editor like vi nano or emacs , and be careful to use a standard UTF-8 encoding

Hope this can help

Regards
Alain

Dear Alain,

That's exactly the issue! Thank you so much for spotting that! I stared at it quite a long time yesterday but couldn't see that the quotes are problematic...now I know that I should type the command in a proper editor before pasting it into the terminal!

Thanks again!
