ersilia -v fetch eos9ei3 > eos9ei3.log 2>&1 sucessfully fetched the model ersilia -v serve eos9ei3 Successful Available API predict

ersilia -v api predict -i "eml_canonical.csv" -o "eos9ei3.csv" > eos9ei3.log 2>&1

Expected behavior.

successfully predict the model

Screenshots.

Thanks @EstherIdabor !

Two questions:

• Are you running the predict api from the folder where the .csv file is? otherwise you need to specify the path. We have discussed this in other issues and slack, you need to navigate through the CLI to where the file is
• Can you confirm if you get the same error when you use only a molecule as input? ersilia -v api predict -i "CCCCC" -o "eos9ei3.csv" > eos9ei3.log 2>&1

The eml_canonical.csv, can you try running with the quote attached to it.

The eml_canonical.csv, can you try running with the quote attached to it.

And have you tried @GemmaTuron suggestions.

@GemmaTuron thanks!!, It actually worked with the “CCCC” molecule, there are in thesame folder

It's actually attached

Thanks Zainab, I tried @GemmaTuron second statement and it worked

Hi @EstherIdabor ! Great, so the problem does not seem to be with the model. Are you indicating the path to the eml_canonical.csv file ? Where has the output file been saved? This will indicate the folder you are in.

You either need to launch the code from the folder where it is stored or pass the full path to the CLI. For example, in my case could be: ~/Desktop/ersiliatest/eml_canonical.csv

Hi @GemmaTuron , finally gotten it, I downloaded the test file with my phone and it was saved as an .xls extension I transferred it to my laptop and tried changing the extension to CSV along that line I think it was compromised, I downloaded it again with my laptop and transferred it to my working directory and it worked perfectly

Thank you @GemmaTuron
