Also copy/pasted the question into ChatGPT out of curiosity and got a
similar response.
------------------------------
The issue you are encountering seems to be related to the formatting of the
file path string. It appears that the filePath parameter you are passing to
the saveTreeDataToFile function includes double quotes (“) around the path,
resulting in the error you’re experiencing.
The error message you provided, OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument:
‘“D:/CHIMERA STUDIO/CHIMERA CGI/workspace/cfg_data.json”‘, indicates that
the path is being treated as an invalid argument due to the presence of the
double quotes.
To resolve this issue, you should pass the file path without the double
quotes. If you are calling the saveTreeDataToFile function with the
filePath parameter in quotes like this:
saveTreeDataToFile('"D:/CHIMERA STUDIO/CHIMERA
CGI/workspace/cfg_data.json"', treeWidget)
You can modify the function call to remove the quotes:
saveTreeDataToFile("D:/CHIMERA STUDIO/CHIMERA
CGI/workspace/cfg_data.json", treeWidget)
By removing the double quotes, the file path should be passed correctly,
and the function should work as expected.
