@lazycodeman This could come from either Cosma or your config file. Have you checked that you're running cosma record in a directory where a config file is present? And if so, could you share the contents of the file?

Thank you very much for your reply. This is my config file:

I am sure I run cosma record in the local directory. This error happens also with 'cosma modelize', cosma record --project cosma-test, cosma modelize --project cosma-test'. The only commands works for me are 'cosma config and cosma config -g cosma-test

[lazycodeman]

I finally know how to fix that. The .\data and .\export\ should be in ' ' instead of " ". The default " " in the config file confuses me.

@lazycodeman That's strange. My understanding is that YAML accepts either single or double quotes. Most of my own config files use double quotes and I never had that issue. So this may not be the reason for the error you got initially, and another modification may have fixed it…

I'm pinging @Myllaume to look at this, maybe he'll see something I didn't.
