*.zspy was not readable from hs.load function, during EMC2024_hyperspy workshop.

[junbeom-park-FZJ]

Describe the bug

During the lesson 7. at EMC2024 - hyperspy workshop, I tried to load the *.zspy data file and error popped up as below.

ERROR | Hyperspy | If this file format is supported, please report this error to the RosettaSciIO developers at https://github.com/hyperspy/rosettasciio/issues (hyperspy.io:599)

Detailed error message is at additional context.

To Reproduce

Setup the environment similar to organizer suggested way for advanced user in workshop repository

conda create -n hyperspy_EMC2024 python=3.11 hyperspy pyxem ipympl exspy lumispy ipykernel -c conda-forge
conda activate hyperspy_EMC2024
conda install nb_conda_kernels jupyterlab start_jupyter_cm ipympl -c conda-forge

at visual studio with hyperspy_EMC2024 env

import hyperspy.api as hs
hs.__version__ ##2.1.1
s = hs.load("stem_holz_data.zspy", lazy=True)

And the load function failed and error popped up. I did not checked the way of hyperspy-bundle (for basic user).

Expected behavior

As lecturer, the data is loaded.

Python environement:

• RosettaSciIO version: 0.6 (rosettasciio-base)
• Python version: 3.11.9
• HyperSpy version: 2.1.1
• HyperSpy extensions and version used (no idea)

Additional context

I checked at jupyter lab, but the result was same. The helper recommended to test it at hyperspy version 2.0, but the error was same.

Whole error message below the main error message.

It could be that the data is corrupted.

Can you check that the folderstem_holz_data.zspy\Experiments\fpd_data\original_metadata exists for this dataset? Some MS windows version have a maximum path length and this could be that when you extracted the file, you hit this limit. If so, extract the file somewhere else with a shorter base path or enable long path.

Dear @ericpre , Thanks for the comment. Yes, you were right! Relative path was short enough, but absolute path for dataset was quite long. Once I moved the dataset to short absolute path, it worked.
