Hey Glenn, thank you for the response but, I did mention the absolute path correctly as you can see in the code, it still doesn't work.

It works on the bash console when I run it but, it doesn't work when I schedule as a task.

How does your code look like now?

f'/home/kumaran101088/birthday_wish/letter_templates/{random.choice(files)}'

-----This is how it looks like at the moment. It works in the Bash Console but, as a task i get [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'letter_templates'

-----The directory definitely exits and the spelling is correct since it works via Bash Console.

If the error is exactly

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'letter_templates'

...then it must be running an older version of your code from somewhere -- if if was the new code then it would say

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/kumaran101088/birthday_wish/letter_templates/'

I checked that too. Opened code in the editor and confirmed it is the latest one. I even deleted and created multiple tasks from scratch still the same.

You know what, it worked!

I deleted birthday_wish folder and moved all the contents under the main project kumaran101088. Updated the code to f'/home/kumaran101088/letter_templates/{random.choice(files)}'

But, why is it not accepting a folder within a folder? is it because i am using a free account?

Free accounts don't have any filesystem restrictions (apart from the limit on the total amount of data that you can store). Can we take a look at your code? We can see it from our admin interface, but we always ask for permission first.
