python - Error: Invalid value for '[FILES]...': Path '{path/to/data}' does not exist

Question

I've just gotten started with Datasette and found that while I have hundreds of .sqlite databases, only one was able to load (it was empty). Every other one has had this sort of error:

Error: Invalid value for '[FILES]...': Path '/Users/mercury/Pictures/Photos' does not exist.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

It turns out this was a simple error. The file path is required to be in quotes.
