ValueError: path is on mount 'S:', start on mount 'C:'

[kevtv]

I am getting this error, Any idea why?

from pywebcopy import save_webpage

kwargs = {'project_name': 'some-fancy-name'}
url = 'https://www.bloomberg.com/company/career/global-data-externship/'

save_webpage(
    url=url,
    project_folder=r'C:\Users\Kevin\Downloads\Cheats',
    **kwargs
)

Did you set the project_folder to an absolute path and not a relative one i.e. starting with a slash.

[NickVeld]

I met it to.

pywebcopy.config.setup_config(config["endpoint"], ".")

The error says that something tried to calculate the relative path between two pathes on the different drives. And it is defenetly a problem inside because there is no the "S:" mount in my case; and I suppose in @kevtv 's case too

[NickVeld]

As for "S:" drive appearance see https://bugs.python.org/issue44810

But the root problem is returning the url with quotes by url = match_obj.group(1) (I am getting "https://a/b" instead of https://a/b)

[NickVeld]

I am getting "https://a/b" instead of https://a/b because the regexp pattern includes quotes intentionally. But for what?
