I can't find my scripts folder


i did 1 and 2 courses but i don’t have my scripts folder. how can i get this folder?

Hello, perhaps you can first cd ~, then use ls to see which folders are in your user directory, then cd into them, and then repeat this process until you enter your target folder.

The files for each course is stored separately. For instance, you will not find the files you created in the Python for Robotics course in the Linux for Robotics course, and vice versa.

Open the course where you created those files, and your files will be there.

I don’t have the my_scripts folder either. The only folder in move_bb8_pkg is src, which then has 3 python files. Later in the lesson we’re asked to change the permissions for the file move_bb8_square but there is no such file in src.

For the point of the lesson, I intend to simply stay in the src folder and play with the permissions of the files I do have (and change them back to their original permissions afterwards).

Let me know if you get an answer about my_scripts :stuck_out_tongue:

There are instructions within the notebooks about creating the files/directories used in the course. We would not asking you to modify a non-existing folder.

You must have skipped some sections (inadvetently). :wink:

Please review the course from the beginning and find that section.

Hi I have the same issue and I believe I didn’t skip any step. Since the my_scripts folder is located inside the “linux_course_files” folder, I think it should have been downloaded from the git repo:

git clone Bitbucket

Location of the missing folder:

cd /home/user/catkin_ws/src/linux_course_files/move_bb8_pkg/my_scripts/

However if I look at the git in the Webbrowser there is no my_scripts folder.

I just confirmed that the issue exists. My apologies for the glitch.

I’ll work with the course maintainers to fix this as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we can follow @CaptainSwitz’s approach to working around this problem.

Same Problem for me as well. After finishing the module before this. Instructor guiding to go to my_scripts folder which is not excited. Please let me know if you got any solution for this. Thanks in advance
