For info, a real Windows Path (batch) is

C:\Documents\Foo

when Unix is

/home/Foo

You need sometimes to escape special characters

C:\\Documents\\Foo

So I would try this:

local_artifact_storage:
  module: dagster.core.storage.root
  class: LocalArtifactStorage
  config:
    base_dir: "D:\\outputs"

at the end it could be sanitize at the code level if it works

@daniel For me at least, I do find that confusing. I am just trying to get the iris-kmeans.ipynb example working on my end, but I am not using the same folder structure as the official tutorial. I structure my stuff such that solids are in

solids

folder, pipelines in

pipelines

folder etc. , whereas the tutorial has it all under the same folder. So that is why I am finding out that where the

base_dir

is set is very important to be cognizant of as I am getting the

file not found

error when the notebook is trying to read in the

iris.data

csv file and it is because of my different configuration on my end. After I realize this, I am getting the example to work after I realize that the location of the default

base_dir

can be impacted based on my run configuration. prha's workaround for Windows path is working for me, so I think I am good for now!
