i have installed the cassandra driver
i have modified my db_connection.py and it looks like this below:
now trying to run exercise 2 to connect using
python Ex02_Connect_to_Cassandra.py
i get an error message
what am i doing wrong?
Hi there. Thanks for reaching out.
I know i am pretty far behind but i am determined to do this,
No worries and that's awesome.
So far, looks like you've done everything correctly, but I noticed something in the images you attached (thank you for doing so). Looks like you are using gitpod, but you are referencing a local /Users/*/Downloads directory. That's not going to work. You need to upload the secure connect bundle into gitpod by selecting on the week3 folder, right click, choose upload. Then, change the path you provided in the db_connection.py to the path up in gitpod to reflect the location where you uploaded the file.
Thank you for assisting me, i have uploaded the secure-connect zip folder to the week 3 gitpod as shown below
and i tried changing the pathway to the secure connect bundle shown below as well:
i am still getting the error, i believe its from the pathway. can you point me in the right direction?
You are correct it is a path issue. You will need to provide the full path to your bundle. Go to where you uploaded your bundle in the terminal and execute command "pwd" to get the full working directory and provide that path to your variable.
so i executed 'pwd' and got the pathway to the downloaded file on gitpod and it is
should i also put the same pathway here in the code below highlighted in red?
even when i tried putting the pathway there i still had an error message below
i need your help again, am sorry
So, the images are really small, but is looks like the keyspace name you are using is "Killrvideo" with a capital "K". If you created the DB per our instructions that should be a lower case "k", "killrvideo". Try that instead. BTW, per your last message, it IS connecting to the DB this time, but complaining about the keyspace name so this is a step in the right direction.
Oh and you shouldn't need to update that code. The environment variables should be enough.
Thank you very much, it worked now and i am connected...it was the capital K in the 'killrvideo' that was the issue. thanks for your prompt assistance.
