Docker - Project root directory not found in superpoint_transformer_tutorial

[Schmidt-J]

Hi, I recently heard your presentation at the 3D Academy and tried to do the superpoint_transformer_tutorial. I run into a similar issue as #23 and #59 with this error message:

FileNotFoundError: Project root directory not found. Indicators: ('.project-root', 'setup.cfg', 'setup.py', '.git', 'pyproject.toml')

Unfortunatly i don't knw how to fix this. I'm running the code via Jupyter Notebook on a Docker container.

This is what the project folder looks like at the moment:

I would be glad if you could help me.

Hi @Schmidt-J, have you made any modification to the codebase ? Is the notebook you are running located in the notebooks/ directory or somewhere else on your machine ?

@drprojects thank you for the quick response. The notebook is located in notebooks/. But i used drag and drop within jupyter notebook from a windows computer to open it, because i couldn't access the notebook from within jupyter notebook directly. I didn't modify the codebase.

What do you mean ? Could you use Jupyter lab instead and open the notebook from there, by browsing files ?

Which directory does your notebook's python interpreter live in ?

import os
os.getcwd()

Have you tried manually changing the path to the notebooks/ directory at the beginning of your notebook ?

import os
os.chdir('/path/to/your/superpoint_transformer/')

/opt/notebooks

I cannot browse files there for some reason (I'm new to Docker).

This solved the problem with the error so far:

import os
os.chdir('/path/to/your/superpoint_transformer/')

Thank you for the help.

On a general note, we do not officially support nor work with Docker. So if more Docker-specific issues arise, I might not be able to help. However, I would happily integrate any PR from you that would make the code more portable for Docker environments :wink:
